Well, today is my first day of third grade. I can't believe that I was the only one to actually skip second grade, and move right from first to third. Of course, I am quite nervous for this event. I am a year younger then everyone in the third grade- that and I don't know anyone. Maybe I can make a few friends…
hopefully.
10:12
Uhh, well, I did meet a few people today. I tried talking to them, introducing myself to them. Though I was persistent with telling them my name was Daedalus, but for some reason they weren't really able to get it into their mind what my name was. Instead, they kept saying I was, "Gay", or "Saber". I don't really know what those words meant, so I disregarded them, and now here I am, sitting at my desk, writing in my journal. Hmm, maybe I will find out what these words mean today…
12:00
Ahh, its lunch time now! Well, I actually just finished my lunch. If I were still eating, how would I be writing? But anyways, I tried sitting by those kiamaras I met earlier at lunch. Though, they said, and I quote, "Oh, sorry Saber, but this table is full." Now, to me I could see several open seats near them. I decided not to pester them, and instead went to sit at a different table, alone. Oh, hey, I can see them coming over here! Maybe they wa-
2:36
I'm sorry this entry was written too late… those kiamaras were actually very mean! They stole my journal right out of my hands as I was writing! I finally told the teacher and she made them give it back to me. I can't believe I thought they could have been my friends… Oh my, I feel like an idiot! I don't even know why I'm writing in this anymore… They are just going to call me Gay and Saber again.
Speaking of that, I figured out what those words mean…
5:15
I'm home now. I've finally decided I officially hate third grade. Oh, how I wish I could be in second grade with my friends! Uhm, I'm not sure if I will be writing in this much anymore. I really want to make some friends… and this journal seems to be one of the few reasons why no one will respect me. So, goodbye for now, my friend.

Oh hey, look what I found! Ahh, so many memories came from this journal. Of course, some were good… others were bad. Oh my, I can still remember those kiamaras from third grade. Haha, you should have seen how they acted around me when I soon became friends with nearly everyone in my grade! I actually somehow became friends with many of them over time. I think they soon realized that because of ones appearance doesn't matter, and that who they truly are inside is what matters.
Now I must go for a while, though I will write more in a bit.
4:18
Hello again! Ahh, I guess it would be nice to catch up on everything that has occurred within my life over the years? Well, I was able to graduate from high school, and now I am taking a few college courses in architecture. Wow, the things that have happened over these years. To think someone like me was once bullied day in and day out, and is now preparing to earn a Ph.D in architecture. You never really know what can happen in such a short time-span.
Well, I have to go once again. Hopefully, I can get back into writing in this journal. I would enjoy to come back to this in my old ages, and read about my adventures through life.
So, I will see you soon!

Hello again Quincey. How have you been? Mom just got you for my birthday. And I have something to tell you. I'm growing up! My new teeth have come in, I'm sooo excited. And in school I made a new friend. My brother doesn't like her, but hey, what can you do. I approve, but my bigger brother doesn't. He says to run while I still have the chance. Because life isn't going to be the same after this.
What do you do Quincey? Oh, and my brother is taking me out hiking to see the stars. I wanted to bring you with me, but alas, bro said if I wanted to keep you until I get old like ma, I need to keep you here. But don't worry, I'll hide you under my pillow for safe keeping. When I get back I'll tell you all about my trip. Bye Quin!
[Later this evening -- 7:45 pm]
Hi Quincey, I'm Carnage, what most call me anyways. I am not some stupid, extra terrestrial Kia with a mean/lean side to him. I'm laid back enough. But this one day, before I realized that the ''tough people'' life wasn't for me, but more for my older brother, I had gotten himself hurt and while out on a hike with my big-brother-saviour. The realization that I may never be able to see the spotlight again, made me think a little deeper about myself and find out who I am inside.
It's not the appearance of people that should matter. It should be how they respond, think, and act towards you that matters. Right Quincey? Like I was telling you before, today, I fell off a ledge and got hurt. And my brother saved me. Wanna hear it Quin! I love my bigger brother soo much! When I see him I tell him I love you. Even when His friends are over. I still do it. He thinks I am out to bug him. But I'm not, I really love him. Ok, here goes:
Quin, you wouldn't believe it. It was so hot out there. I couldn't stand it. I was literally going to rip and claw one of these trees off and use it to fan myself in a minute. Or pass out from exhaustion and die of heat stroke. I never, ever, remembered it being so hot. My brother walked with pride. Like there was An invisible forcefield around him and everything was just bounding off it. Leaving him untouched, unscathed, and defiantly, unphased by this notorious weather.
''Bran! Come on, let's go.'' I remembered hearing him bark to me, a ways ahead of me. I was a little wobbly. ''I'm coming bro-brother!'' I told him with a chirpy voice, quickening my pace, trying to catch up with my brother with those little legs of mine. Once I got to him, his gaze was downcast. I was panting hard. All he did was turn and continue on. I groaned, I was too tired Quin. ''We have to make it to Cross Point before sundown. Or risk having to return home.'' There was a pause.
''I thought you wanted to see the meteor shower tonight?'' He growled to me. He glanced back at me out of the corner of his eye, it was kind of scary. There was something gleaming in those eyes of his that just made me shiver. I nodded. I did, but, I was just soo tired. All I remember was walking up a ledge, and something shifted out from under me. I slipped and fell off that high rock ledge. I didn't even have time to scream.
Everything went silent and I remember this confusing and hurting pain that just hurt, hurt, hurt. After a bit, I remembered waking up and looking up into my older brothers eyes. Their blue and pink vivid depths were swirling with emotion. Concern, anger, and a little bit of respect. My body filled with pride. My brother respected me! It's what I lived for. What I strived for. I tried to sit up only to realize that I was sitting up, well propped up against a rock.
Quin, I tell you, I felt like I had another saber ram me in the bosom with those fangs of his a thousand times. And I still lived. My brother was murmuring soft words of encouragement. He was washing my leg. It hurt so much I cried. But my brother looked at me again, with only a grin this time. Honest, I thought he was chuckling at me. I think my brother blushed at me. In one of those ways where my eyes go huge and I pout. That way.
I noticed it was dark out and we were at Cross Point. When I tried to ask him how we got there, he just covered my mouth with his tail and 'sushed' Me. I saw something flicker across the sky and see the sky and the land in my brothers eyes. It's reflection mirroring in his eyes. It was pretty. I could just watch them. I looked at the sky when he raised an eyebrow at me. The meteor shower started. I remember we watched it together and I fell asleep on him.
And then I woke up here. I think my brother loves me now. Despite his tough guy disguise. I saw through it. Quin, I hope you get to meet my brothers diary. He says he doesn't have one, but it was big and it had words in it. Like words I don't understand. It was heavy. It said ''History.'' It must have been a diary of his history then.
[April 18 -- 5:35 am -- age 19]
Hello again Quin. I haven't seen you in along Time. Glad to see you again old friend.
Trust me, I haven't forgotten about you. But now, there is something I want to tell you. I've gotten bigger and I am 19 now. I don't ever wanna leave you home, so you come and hitch a ride to work with me. Now, I'm probably guessing your wondering what happened to my brother. He's fine, all well and happy, though mainly he's gone off on his own and I have too. Now back to the real deal.
Quin, I'm in love. I found a Kia that I love soo much. But the thing is, it's a guy. To be honest I... I really don't know what to do. He doesn't know it, and I don't want to be picked on because I'm gay. But it's just another preference. Like people are apart of one religion all together and they just broke off into separate ones. But in a way we're all the Same. Quin, I want to ask him so bad. He was such a nice friend to me back throughout school.
And you build those relationships throughout school. So I'm going to go ask him. Thanks for your help. You've been there for me for so many years. Thanks.
[Later this evening -- 6:23 pm.]
I'm so glad. He accepted me for who I am. He said yes, although I'm skiddish with going through this relationship. I have such a good friend. Well friends. You and him. I talked to my brother about it and he doesn't seem to mind. He says it's ''a bit Wierd but if it makes me happy then I should go for it.'' Last month yesterday was my birthday. I was soo happy my family and friends came.
I was nervous about doing a party but my brother and friends nudged me along. I'm not even twenty, and life is already interesting. Honest it is. Now, saying that, I don't know how he will react to me having a diary around with me. Your my friend and I may let him read you one day. Granted, I let him read it. I'm sorry to have written so much in you that I have to add paper to you alot.
I just love you. Now onto my worries.
Quin as you can see, I'm getting older and almost out of school. I was having trouble and ma held me back to two years. Anyways, I'm having problems with talking to people. I had been bullied through out school. I'm sorry I never told you. I just thought..... no, there's no excuse. You deserve to know. Some people are calling me gay. Like in a bad way and picking on me. They are so mean. They were picking on my eyes and my fangs and even my feathers and my brother didn't help me.
He stood there and watched, like he was fighting a waging war with himself on weather to claw them or help them out by shouting insults. It hurt. I thought brothers were supposed to stand up for you and love you no matter the cost. Well, that didn't happen here. I hate him for iTunes, but I forgive him in a way. Because if he did he would ruin his reputation of being the school bad boy, and get picked on for helping some looser like me.
When we got home that day, I didn't talk to him. I knew he felt bad, but to be honest, I...... He just.... made me sad. I locked myself in my room and buried myself in my sheets and cried. Not to be all sappy or anything. I cried because everyone cries now and again. No matter how tuff they are. And it's true, everyone has a breaking point somewhere. We just have to break it. Find the key and unlock it.
[August 24 -- 2:24 am]
I'm broken hearted now, my mom died. It.... it's hard now. I miss her alot, and now, my brother has moved back home and I broke up with my boyfriend. The pain is killing me. It hurts woo much. Oh Quin what do I do!? I can't go on. And Big Bro says Suicide is out of the question. Now what? Everything hurts. I haven't slept or eaten in days and I'm skinnier that a twig. My brother knew what was going on.
He told me to take it easy and he'd help me through it. To be honest I wasn't to sure of that. I.... I'm alone now. bro says I'm too big to have you any more and says that I have to get rid of you. I refused though. Your my love. I love you and that's all that matters. I just hope we can move on. Your my best friend Quin. Any days I'm sad I will go and read you over again.
He also says that my feathers remind him of the beach so when I'm feeling better were going to go there to relax and try to get rid of some pain. I'm looking forward to that. Thanks so much Quinn for helping me though those tough years abs beyond. I love you Quin. Stay with me forever will you? Don't ever leave me like big bro and mom did.
