Dear Diary, 

Today was the first day of high school! Oniichan was more worried than usual, but thankfully Kagami-san reminded him that I would be fine. (Oniichan thought I wouldn’t notice his Zector, isn’t that funny? I saw him right away. Oh well, I know Oniichan isn’t going to send him every day, probably just today since he’s more nervous than usual.) The train was crowded but it wasn’t too bad. The high school is bigger than my middle school, that’s for sure! Oniichan was so proud I got into this one, though, so I have to do my best. 

What else…there was a really cool girl in my class! Nomura Shizuka. She had a violin so I guess she’ll be in the orchestra. Hope I get to know her better! Grandmother said that high school friends are precious and to try and keep in touch with them, so I need to remember that.

Dear Journal,

Well, high school has started. Wataru wasn’t much help for advice, although Kivat had some, and Megumi-san had more. Nago-san was there too when I went to ask and his advice was all sorts of weird, so I’m going to ignore him. It’s a nice enough school, I went to this one cause the music program is supposed to be good. My classmates are pretty ordinary, although this one girl, Tendou Jyuka if I’m remembering right, she had a robot bug following her when I saw her get on the train. It kept up with the train! I don’t think Kivat or Tatsulat could do that. It flew away once we got to school, though. She’s in my class, I think she’ll be cool. She plays tennis, judging by the racket she had. I wonder if she knows any Kamen Riders, cause I don’t think most of our classmates have robot bugs following them. (I wonder if any of them are Fangire…doubtful.) Ugh, homework is calling my name. Blech.

Dear Diary,

I’m making friends! The tennis club is really fun, although I miss my middle school friends, but I’m going to see them next weekend. We all went to different high schools, so we’ll all have different things to report. Shizuka has become my friend since I sit in front of her and have to give her the papers to send back. She’s a little bossy but Kagami-san said that she couldn’t possibly be bossier than me or Oniichan, although he muttered that so I don’t think he meant for me to hear that. He forgets that I have good ears. But Grandmother said that a woman wouldn’t get anywhere if we didn’t make our opinions and orders heard, so someone has to take charge! If she was meaner, I don’t think I’d like her, but she’s nice so it’s fine. The teacher has been talking about trying a partnered project for an assignment, I wonder if we’ll be able to pick our partners or not. Time will tell!

Dear Journal,

Jyuka’s my partner for this assignment, so that’s cool. It was random, since the teacher did it by slips of paper, so I really got lucky. She invited me to her house so we could work together. I’d invite her to my apartment, but Mom said to just take her to Wataru’s house since it’s bigger and more quiet, so I’ll have to ask him. Doubt he’ll mind, though. Either way, her house is like the same size as Wataru’s. Her brother is…intense but her brother’s boyfriend(?) is pretty cool. He said not to take anything he says personally. I think they’re Kamen Riders, since the bug robot I saw following Tendou was there, and a different one. It’s a red kabuto and a blue kuwagatamushi, but no one mentioned them. I think they were supposed to be “decorations” but I saw them move on their own. Jyuka’s a little bossy on this project, but when I told Megumi-san about that she just laughed and said I’d be fine. Whatever.

Dear Diary, 

The project is going well! Shizuka is really smart and has good ideas. When it was her turn to host, she didn’t take me to her own apartment, saying that her friend’s place was bigger. It kind of smelled, but Shizuka said it wasn’t the worst smell because her friend (Wataru-san) was always trying to make violin varnish and sometimes it got so bad the entire town would complain. Oniichan would kick their butts if they tried that! I think her friend might be a Kamen Rider too, though, if there are more Kamen Riders. I never thought about that, since Oniichan-tachi are more than enough. But there was a very fun bat and a little dragon and Shizuka wasn’t surprised by them at all. And they talked! Kivat Bat III told me all sorts of interesting facts. Tomorrow we’re going to go get more supplies for this project. Oniichan told me to be careful, but he seems to think Shizuka is a good friend, thankfully.

Dear Journal, 

We got so many supplies for this project because of Jyuka’s brother giving her so much money. He’s overprotective, I’ve noticed, but he seems to be okay with me. Kagami-san said he’s scared of the day Jyuka brings a boy over, although he startled when he saw that I overheard him. I know Jyuka is friends with boys but I don’t think she likes any of them like that. It made me feel a little weird to hear that, kinda like when Mio came and became Wataru’s girlfriend. 

Orchestra is going well, though. And Jyuka’s doing really good in her tennis club. She has some matches coming up. She said I had to come and cheer for her, which I was going to do anyways. Hopefully she’ll come to a concert of mine, too, though those won’t be for a while. Second violin, second chair isn’t too bad for a first year, either, although hopefully I’ll be better next year. We’ll see.

🐞🐞🐞

Dear Diary, 

Oniichan said that Shizuka was welcome to sleep over if she wished! I wonder what Kagami-san said, since he didn’t allow that in middle school. I’ll have to make him a lunch. I should teach Shizuka how to make some of my favorite bento foods. She said my lunches were so much fancier than hers, although she knows how to cook too. 

Oh! Wataru is a Kamen Rider! Kiva! That’s so cool. Apparently there’s more than just Worms, cause his brother had come and was talking about the Fangier-human relations until he noticed me. He said to keep it a secret from others, which apparently includes Oniichan. Grandmother said that keeping a secret would mean the truth comes out eventually, but I think Oniichan would be a little too weird about this so I’ll let the truth come out on its own. But other than that, there’s not too much to report. Just need to remember to copy some recipes. -

Dear Journal, 

Jyuka taught me how to cook one of her favorite recipes today, not at her house but where her sister works, some French bistro. It was really cool being allowed in the kitchen of a restaurant, but since the owner is super nice, she was totally fine with it. Meanwhile I think Master would have a heart attack, especially if I tried to make coffee. Speaking of which, I need to take Jyuka to mald’amour at some point. I think Master will like her. The doggos sure should. 

Anything else…Jyuka got a new cell phone. I think I’ll ask Megumi-san if I can use one of Nago-san’s old ones or something, since that would be cheaper than getting one new, plus Mom wouldn’t say I was wasting money. At least she likes Jyuka, saying that it’s nice I have friends my age even though she also likes Wataru. I don’t get moms. But what else is new.

-Shizuka

🐞🐞🐞

Dear Diary, 

Shizuka took me to a cafe today! She said she always goes there. There were some Golden Retrievers and the Master was pretty nice. He said it was always fun when he got a new regular. Apparently Wataru-san-tachi go there pretty often. The coffee was good but not as good as Oniichan’s, who finally let me start drinking it. Again, I think it was Kagami-san. 

I hear Oniichan and Kagami-san talking actually…I think it’s about boys? And what will happen when (Kagami-san is saying if) I bring one home? I don’t think I like boys in that way, though, so I don’t know what Oniichan is thinking. It’s not like he likes girls in that way, either, considering Kagami-san has been the only one he’s ever acted like that with. Girls are way prettier, after all. I wonder if Kagami-san figured that out, or if he’s just saying… hmm.

Dear Journal, 

I might be stupid. I think I like Jyuka. Megumi-san noticed I was talking about her so much and teased me about it. But she’s cool! And she’s good at tennis, she’s really intense and it’s…it’s a lot, okay? Gah. Kengo-san says I should go for it, since it’s “rocking” that I like someone in the first place. It’s so confusing though, since I know I like boys. But after I thought about it, maybe I had a crush on girls before too? I dunno. 

Orchestra is going well, we have a concert coming up so that’s been taking up a bit of my time. Jyuka likes listening to me practice, and her brother says it’s fine if I practice at their house since it’s good for the brain or something. He quoted his grandma. Both of them do that a lot. Wonder if I’ll ever meet her, since Kagami-san said that she’s still alive, although he hasn’t met her yet either. He seems kinda scared of her, not that I can blame him. Kinda hope I can, though.

🐞🐞🐞

Dear Shizuka, 

Grandmother said we were not supposed to dilly dally when it comes to love, so I’m writing this to tell you I like you. Sorry for not telling you in person, but I have a diary so I’m more used to writing. If you don’t like me back, that’s fine, nothing has to change. But I enjoy hanging out with you, so if you wanted to try dating, I’d like that. -Tendou Jyuka 

🎻🎻🎻

Dear Jyuka,

I’m leaving this in your shoe cubby because sometimes hanging out with Wataru means you go the coward route of writing instead of saying it in person. But I like you so if you want to go out with me that’d be cool. If not, well, you’re still invited to my concert. I don’t have a great spot or a solo but still, we’ve been working hard so I’d like you at least come to that. But up to you. -Shizuka 

🐞🎻🐞🎻🐞🎻

Dear Diary/Journal, 

I GUESS SHE LIKES ME BACK. NO TIME TO UPDATE, GOING ON A DATE! AHHH!
