[Ryou’s Diary: Entry 274 - Date: November 21st, 1997 (Age: 11)]
Dear Diary,
I almost got caught! I was in my old classroom and was just setting my present on Yami’s desk when everyone began to walk into the classroom. Luckily Ms. J saved me by saying ‘I’m glad you could help me, now I’ll show you what I want you to do.’ Then she took me outside of the room and told me to go back to my class and to be more careful next time.
I actually laughed. I haven’t laughed for so long and if felt so good. I was still in a good mood when I got home from school and Dad said that he had forgotten what my laugh sounded like. I have to admit though, I don’t laugh, I giggle. Just another thing I was made fun of back in England.
I know I shouldn’t dwell on the past so much, but they meant so much to me. And because of one little kiss my life was turned into Hell on Earth.
Sorry, I’m not going to talk about that anymore. I’ve got a new life, kind of so I’m going to try to make the best of it.
Dad keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. I haven’t actually thought about it. We’ve been so busy, the both of us, Dad with work, me with school. I don’t know what I want. I doubt he could change things, but I wouldn’t ask him about that at all.
Hmm…oh, today in Mr. Yuy’s class everybody had presents that they opened. It was so cool! Everybody got a present and they were like five-year olds on Christmas Eve. I saw that Yugi had gotten this really cute looking Dark Magician figurine. From Halloween I’ve figured that the Dark Magician is his favourite. Malik was his secret Santa, so I thought that was cool. Since he was sitting beside me I saw the smile on Malik’s face.
Speaking of which, Malik had gotten a hundred dollars. He snickered and I heard him say something to Yugi and Joey that Seto Kaiba was still trying to get on his good side for going out with his sister.
Joey got a Red Eyes Black Dragon plushie which I thought was adorable. Tea got a plushie too, and it looked like Shining Friendship, but I’m not too sure. She was happy, nonetheless.
Mr. Yuy let everyone show off their gifts to everyone else before starting the lesson. While I was reading my book I saw the pity in his eyes when he looked at me. I was the only one in the class that hadn’t gotten a gift.
I wanted to tell him that I hadn’t expected to get anything to begin with, but I didn’t.
Up until lunch all I could do was wonder what Yami had thought of his gift. I know it wasn’t much, but it was kind of last minute. But when I sat down at lunchtime he was all smiles and everyone wanted to know why. He showed them the card after everyone else had shown off their gifts. Nobody except Isis and Malik could understand what it said (besides Yami of course) so Malik read it out loud to everyone. Joey wanted to see it, but Yami wouldn’t let him touch it.
He really liked it!
