Odd ran into His and Ulrich's room with a black leather book in his hand. Ulrich was playing with Kiwi when Odd ran in with a ear to ear smile.

"Ulrich! Look what I found." Odd said. Ulrich looked at it.

"It's a diary." Ulrich said. Odd started to pick at the lock. "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm opening the diary." Odd said as the lock broke off.

"Now you've done it! You owe the owner of the diary a new lock." Ulrich said. Odd was flipping through the pages and stopped and looked up at Ulrich in alarm.

"It's Yumi's!" Odd said. "I must read it!"

"You cann't do that!" Ulrich said.

"Look, do you wont to know how she feels about you or not?" Odd asked.

"OK, as long as you replace the lock before we return it to her." Ulrich said.

"No problem, I'd like to keep my body in 3-D anyway, Yumi would kill me if she found out." Odd said as he flipped through. He started to read the page out loud.

Dear Diary,

How long is Ulrich going to keep me waiting? Everyday I wait for him to say something! Anything! But no, Silent Stern has to keep his mouth shut about everything! If he doesn't say anything, one day, I will weather he likes it or not!

These Words

These words are my own

Threw some cards together

the combanation D-E-F

It's who I am, It's what I do

And I was gonna lay it down for you

I try to focuse my attendion

But I feel so A-D-D

I need some help, some insperation

But it's not coming easily

Tryn' to find the magic

tryn' to write a classic

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

waste bin full of paper

Clever rhymes, see you later

These word are my own

From my heart flow

I love you, I love you, I love you

their's no other way

to better say

I love you, I love you

Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats

Recited it over a hip-hop beat

I'm having trouble saying what I mean

With dead poets and drum machines

I know I had some studio time booked

But I couldn't find a killer hook

Now you've gone and raised the bar right up

Nothing I write is ever good enough

These words are my own

From my heart flow

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

There's no other way

To better say

I love you, I love you

I'm getting off my stage

The curtains pull away

No hyperbole to hide behind

My naked soul exposes

Whoa… oh… oh… oh… Whoa… oh…

Trying to find the magic

Trying to write a classic

Waste bin full of paper

Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own 

From my heart flow

I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

There’s no other way

To better say

I love you, I love you

That’s all I got to say

Can’t think of a better way

And that’s all I’ve got to say

I love you, is that okay?

Odd finished reading the page and looked at his friend.

"Told you." Odd said. Ulrich played the song in his head.

"What's the date on that?" Ulrich asked.

"A few weeks ago." Odd said. Ulrich smiled.

"Yumi's still going to kill us." Ulrich pointed out.

"Yumi's been avoiding the gang for a while. Mabe she write some thing in her diary why she won't talk to anyone." Odd said as he flipped the page.

Dear Diary,

Why me? Why is it ALWAYS me? My parents get a devorce and don't tell me about it untill after it was dicided! My life is OVER. And my dad leaves when everyone, including my mom, needs him the most! Now my mom is thinking 'bout dating again! God my life sucks!

Because of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did,

I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery,

I will not break,

The way you did, you fell so hard,

I’ve learned the hard way,

To never let it get that far

Because of you,

I never strayed too far from the sidewalk,

Because of you,

I learned to play inside so I don’t get hurt,

Because of you,

I find it hard to trust not only me,

But everyone around me,

Because of you,

I am afraid

I lose my way,

And it’s not too long before you point it out:

I cannot cry,

Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes,

I’m forced to fake,

A smile, a laugh,

Every day of my life,

My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you,

I never stray too far from the sidewalk,

Because of you,

I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt,

Because of you,

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,

Because of you,

I am afraid

I watched you die,

I heard you cry every night in your sleep.

I was so young,

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else,

You just saw your pain,

And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing

Because of you,

I never stray too far from the sidewalk,

Because of you,

I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt

Because of you,

I try my hardest just to forget everything,

Because of you,

I don’t know how to let anyone else in,

Because of you,

I’m ashamed of my life,

Because it’s empty.

Because of you,

I am afraid.

As Odd finished the page, Ulrich snapped his fingers.

"So that's why she's upset." Ulrich said.

"Told you reading her diary was a good idea!" Odd pointed out. Odd flipped a head a couple of pages.

Dear Diary,

My Life is OVER! With a capital O. William tried to flurt with me in front of Ulrich, and we all know Ulrich, he ran off without me explaining. Why am I the one suffering? Everyday somthing goes wrong and most of the time, I only make thing worse. In my dad's eye's I'll be nothing but unfaithful. Mabe that's why he left.

Unfaithful

Story of my life

searching for the right

but it keeps avoiding me

sorrow in my soul

coz it seems that wrong

really loves my company

he's more then a man and this is more then love

the reason that the sky is blue

the clouds are rolling in

because I'm gone again

And to him I just cann't be true

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying’

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

Every time I walk…out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be...A murderer

I feel it in the air

As I'm doing' my hair

Preparing for another date

A kiss up on my cheek

As he reluctantly

Accepts I'm gonna be out late

I say I won't be long

Just hanging with the girls

A lie I didn't have to tell

Because we both know

Where I'm about to go

And we know it very well

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

Every time I walk out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be...a murderer

Our Love...his trust

I might as well take a gun and put it to his head

Get it over with

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

Every time I walk out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be...a murderer

Odd looked up at Ulrich.

"Her dad called her unfaithful." Odd said.

"That has to hurt." Ulrich said to his snoopy friend.

"And to think we're reading her diary." Odd said. Ulrich had forgoten he was reading her diary. It made him think more about her, like a novel was written about Yumi's life. Odd skipped to the last entery in the diary.

Dear Diary,

If my hand writting is shaky, it's because my hand is shaking, my whole body's shaking. My mom's new husband is an abusive person. He beats me until I cann't stand for myself. I HATE him. I miis my real dad, but when ever I bring him up, my step-dad beats me to a bloody pulse. My mom doesn't believe me when I tell her he beats me. God everything ruined. I Didn't write a whole song tonight, my hand's shaking to much.

Runaway Love (Yumi's edited)

Tryn' to figure out why the world's so cold

Why she's a loner and nobody really like her

Alcholic step-dad alway's ready to strike her

He yells and abuises

leaves her with some bruises

now shes has to face the world alone

forced to think h--- is a place called home

now the only thing to do and get her clothes and pack

she says she running away and never coming back

Odd looked up again, this time a little scared.

"Yumi's new step-dad beats her?" Ulrich asked.

"Yeah." Odd said. He closed the book and got up.

"We should return this to Yumi." Odd said as they both walked out of the room to see Yumi leaning on the wall next to the door. Looking very angery.

"Why do you two clowns have my diary?" Yumi asked angerly.

"Yumi, we just needed to find out what was wrong. And when we read about you step-dad we stopped." Ulrich explained. Yumi grabbed the book from Odd.

"Who bright Idea was it?" Yumi asked.

"Odd's!" Ulrich said quickly. Yumi slapped Odd across the face, hard. Ulrich could here the loud slap and Odd's face was stinging red.

"Yumi, we're sorry." Ulrich said.

"I know." Yumi said and punched Ulrich in the arm. "NEVER do it again."

"I'm going to the nurse to see the damage." Odd said with a hand on his red cheek.

"Yumi, we needed to know, I'm really sorry." Ulrich said. Yumi calmed down.

"It's OK." Yumi said placing the book under her arm. Yumi leaned over and kissed Ulrich on the cheek.

"I should of told you." Ulrich begain.

"Told me what?" Yumi asked as Ulrich kissed her. She kissed him back. Soon they both heard Odd howling at them. Yumi pulled away ang growled at Odd, who ran around the corner to avoid gettin hit again. Ulrich laughed as the two started walking into the woods.
