[Ryou’s Diary: Entry 312 - Date: December 19th, 1997 (Age: 11)]
Dear Diary,
Yahoo, it’s the last day of school. Everything has become a routine. Life is pretty pathetic when you rate how good the day was by how much mental pain you’ve gone through. Today was better than yesterday.
Nobody talked to me, not that anyone normally does and nobody talked ABOUT me either so I had a pretty peaceful day. Lonely too, but so what? I got a book out of the local library because I had again run out of reading material of my own and we weren’t allowed to borrow any school library books over the holidays, but other than that, the day was really boring.
Well, it got a little better after supper. Dad called and I got to talk to him. I hadn’t talked to him since he had left and I really missed him, but I didn’t say anything to him about just how much I had been missing him because I didn’t want him to think of me as clinging to him. We talked about school, about what I was planning on doing over the holidays. He said that he wanted to see me, but by the looks of the dig that wouldn’t happen for a long while.
I tried my best to sound happy for him, I mean, I know how much he loves Egypt and being on a dig. But I’m only eleven years old. Don’t I have the right to want my father around? Don’t I have the right to HAVE my father around? He noticed by the sound in my voice that I wasn’t being totally truthful when I told him that I was happy for him. And he started in his long lecture about how, back in ancient times (like Egypt) a boy was a man at about ten years of age.
I wanted to remind my father that we were no longer living in ancient times and now that was called child neglect. But he had begun to sound really fed up with me so I told him that I would try harder to grow up. The phone call ended about then because he only had so many minutes to talk to me and most of that call had been wasted on his wonderful rant.
I’ve been in my room ever since so I won’t disturb anyone here. Yugi has Malik staying over and Yami has Kaiba and Tristan. I can hear their laughter coming from the room beside mine.
How I wish that I could be laughing too.
