Oh why herro there. I suppose it's been a while? It's already been like a month and a half since school started. Crazy crazy. So what have you been up to?

So I saw Scott Pilgrim a while ago. It was a little disappointing. I'm a big fan of the comics. But the soundtrack kicked balls. :)
Does anyone even read these authors notes? I feel like I'm the only one. I always read the descriptions and side notes before actually looking at the file.
Peace&Blessingssss

I decided not to go to school the next day. Soul probably thought I was some sort of weirdo now, and even though I thought he liked me, he probably didn't. Especially not now. "Aileen, why aren't you going to school? Are you sick?" Jude stood at my doorway worriedly with a finger to his mouth. I pretended to cough before saying, "Have a good day at school, Jude. I'll make you some dinner tonight, okay?"

He nodded before shutting my door quietly and leaving for school. I sighed and sat up. I feel wrong for doing this... but I probably ruined whatever sort of relationship I had with Soul. Was I overreacting? Maybe. Did I care? Hohohoho. Fuck no.

I made myself a sandwich from stale bread and mustard. It was disgusting, so I fed the rest to Norah. I found some cake mix in the cupboard so I just mixed it and ate the batter. I sat in front of the television watching a show about sharks and thought about how I would die.

When I died, I just wanted to give myself a small cut, walk into the ocean, and flail around. Hopefully a badass shark would come by and just tear me to shreds. Then my friends wouldn't have to worry about dealing with my body. And I would be fucking notorious. "Hey, did you hear about that chick who got eaten by sharks?" "Oh yeah, that crazy girl who cut herself and flailed about so a shark would attack her. What a badass." That's how people would know me. I was pulled out of my daydreaming when the doorbell rang.

The first thing I saw when I opened the door was a pair of sharp teeth and I freaked out. I wasn't ready to die yet! I wanted to die at 102, and at sunrise, not in the afternoon! "Aileen, are you okay?" I opened my non-blind eye to see Soul. Oh. I smoothed down my shirt and tried to make my hair look acceptable.

It wouldn't help, though. I hadn't bothered putting in my contact, so I was wearing my glasses. Not those sleek, sexy frameless ones either. They were thick plastic frames that looked like the kind men wore in the 60s. Soul raised an eyebrow at my appearance. "What happened to you? It looks like you had a fight with a blowdryer." What the fuck, man?

"Well, I'm glad you're in a good mood," I snapped. "I'm really busy doing nothing, so... yeah. Why are you here?" As if I didn't know.

"As if you don't know, Aileen. What was with that... what was with last night?" Oh, yeah. I was so stuck on sharks that I forgot about "last night."

"Ihavetopeebye," I tried shutting the door but Soul stuck his foot in front of it. He casually walked into my house with his hands in his pockets as Norah greeted him happily. Some guard dog. Bah.

Soul smirked at my behavior. "How about a little payback? I feel like I was overpaid for playing only half a song for you." I stood still, confused. My eyes glazed over in thought, before the air on my lips was replaced with... more lips. I GREW ANOTHER PAIR, GUYS. Just kidding. As you can guess, it was the lips of the boy in front of me.

It wasn't super passionate or anything. It was actually rather awkward, but I guess that's what the first kiss was supposed to be like. He pulled away slowly and tried to act all suave and cool. I decided to speak once I regained control of my voice.

"W-well, uh. Thanks for that stimulating conversation, Soul."

"No problem. See you at school tomorrow, Aileen." After that, he left.

My limbs were all tingly and ten different songs got stuck in my head. It was like one of those old radio players that couldn't tune to only one station. Nothing made sense anymore. Norah was nowhere to be found, but she probably ran into my room to take a nap. I was left alone to my thoughts, which was dangerous. My train of thought consisted of "."

Pretty much.

I sat on the couch before remembering something. "Oh, better get started on dinner for Jude."

Jude came home not long after that, with Iggy walking behind him. They started talking about something that happened at school that day, before Iggy looked at me strangely. "Did something happen, Aileen...?"

"No. But I could ask you the same thiiiiiing," I said and raised both my eyebrows. "Don't think I forgot about last night's date with Tsubaki."

"Oh, we're going out now. And Aileen," he smiled. "I know that was you who set it up. 'Kiss the Girl'? So obvious."

"Aw, balls."
