My English teacher was proud of me today. I've only been speaking English for the past 5 years of my 12-year life, but apparently I am doing well.
English is one of my favourite subjects; I enjoy writing poetry, but not so much can be said about reading it out. Miss Wayne always tells me to speak louder, but I'm not very used to that. I don't like speaking loudly - I prefer a quieter life.
Mum and Dad should be proud of me. And they are, I think, but are just busy with their own affairs at the moment. I do well in all subjects, rarely falling below second highest place of the class in tests. I'm in the best school in the area, and I am keeping up with homework, have friends, and at school, my life is pretty good. My teachers are nice (to me, at least) and I feel like I'm getting closer to my friends every day. They make me laugh and I feel safe and secure around them.
I'm so lucky to have such good fortune at school. I'm so lucky in general, really, to have a home, food, heating, electricity, daily necessities... But I know that I'm always wanting more, though... And it's greedy.
I always wish that Mum and Dad would get along better than they do right now, but sometimes I wonder - if they do, if my wish comes true, what will I wish for next? It's just human nature to always want more and more, even when we have so much already.
Human psychology interests me, actually. I'm always asking questions, always wanting to know why. My teachers call it intellectual curiosity. My classmates call it annoying.
I think Mum and Dad had another argument while Kaito and I were at school today. Dad's left cheek is an angry bright red colour, and he's taking more pills than usual. I won't ask why, though. It's not really my business to know.
Father has been taking a lot of pills recently. He's also out seeing the doctor a lot more. At least, that's what Mother used to say when we asked. She used to say it was depression. Now she just says that he's just busy with a sort of dull, "couldn't-care-less" look on her face, which I don't really appreciate.
They're meant to be married. They weren't put up to forced marriage or anything, either; apparently, they married for love... although I'm beginning to think they might have made the wrong choice with that.
Well, of course, I'm glad they did, otherwise Kaito and I wouldn't be here - but still. Considering they married for love, they aren't really showing it so well.
