CLARA'S DIARY

LEO'S POV
I woke up feeling relieved, the pain reliever I took had subdued the pain. After few minutes of lying on the bed, with my eyes open thinking about how lonely I had being for years, I heard some strange noise, it was definitely coming from my stomach. I picked up my phone to call Mrs. Kate.
" Mrs. Kate, am I supposed to call before my food would be brought? " I asked, looking at the clock to check thr time, it was 9:30pm. I slept for long geez.
"Sir, I was told you were sleeping and I kept your f"
" Prepare pasta and hurry up because I am damn hungry" I interrupted her and ended the call, I couldn't bear to listen to whatever Mrs. Kate was about to say, she talks too slow.
I had nothing to do, I was so bored. I didn't have friends to chat with plus I wasn't really a social media type. After few seconds of doing nothing, I got up from my bed, walked to the window, the star and the moon was shining so bright in a very beautiful way. I took my time to stare admiring. I quickly grabbed a bottle of water and went back to the window, this timr opening it, the fresh breeze that entered the room was refreshing, I took my time to inhale the fresh air. After standing there for a while, I was about to close the window when I saw two maids coming into the house through the back door. I wondered what they were doing outside by this time. I thought of calling Mrs. Kate to know who those girls was and what they were doing outside by that time. I couldn't trust anyone, I made sure I took note of every suspicious movement.
After much deliberation, I decided to let it go, they might have just been running some errands, there was no need to exaggerate. I closed the window and went to sit on my bed, pouring my self some wine that I found on the table beside my bed. I sipped slowly as I got up and walked round my room. I noticed my bag was on the floor, I pick it, not knowing it was open, within a blink of am eye all my books were on the flow. I bent down to pick it, but something caught my attention, it wasn't looking like my book. I dropped my cup of wine on the table, but it fell crashing on the floor, I hadn't places it on the table well because of the damn book that I was so curious and in haste to see, I was so angry. I kicked the books in frustration, turning to go back to my bed then I saw it book again. It was the Clara girl diary.
" Shit, was this thing still in my bag? How do I even return it? " I went over to pick the book up before going to sit on my reading chair turning on the lamp. I opened the book and the first thing that I saw was " Yoooo diary, whats up, things didn't go as planned today, turns out Martin wasn't actually crushing on me, I fet so sad when he told everyone openly that he actually had crush on Vivia, all thanks to the stupid truth or dare game played. Why must it happen today, the day I planned to tell him about my feelings, everything sucks diary"
" Geez, such a pathetic girl, why would you tell a guy you like him first?." I didn't even know when I said that aloud, flipping through the book. I kept on wondering, if this was what people do, talking to a book? Telling it your problems and your daily activities, I couldn't help but laugh it was hilarious. I opened the book to continue reading but I was interrupted by a knock on the door, I closed the book immediately putting it inside the drawer.
" Yes, come in" I said with a frown on my face, I hate whenever this maids come into my room, they always have this look of fear on their faces and was always in haste to leave. I liked it anyway, I wouldn't like to be around them.
" Drop it over there and leave" I said without looking up at them.
" But sir, we have to "
" Out! " They ran out without looking back. From where I sat, I could perceive the aroma coming from the food, it wasn't smelling like anything Mrs. Kate prepared. This was definitely not Mrs. Kate pasta. I got to check it out then I noticed the broken glass cup on the floor, I forgot to tell those maid to clean it up. I picked up my phone and dialled Mrs. Kate number while I walked over to the table where my food has been placed. She wasn't picking her calls, I wondered why this was weird. After calling for about 5 times, I called the general line for the maid, I instructed them to come clean the mess that I made.
I bowl of Pasta, I stared in awe and hoped that it taste just the way it smells, I didn't know when I began to salivate, I couldn't wait to taste it. I took the fork, putting the four pointed end into the pasta, I turned it round until I got my desired quantity and it went into my mouth as I chewed with my eyes closed smiling excessively.
" Oh my, this is heavenly who the hell prepared this?" I found my self asking rhetorical questions as I kept on enjoying the meal, not until I heard a knock on the door. The maid were here already.
" Hold on" I shouted, not wanting them to interrupt my heavenly pasta. I needed to finish it before allowing them come in. After I was done, I found my self craving for more,.
" Oh gosh, I need more" I said inaudibly placing the fork on the tray gently. I got up and went to sit on my bed, I thought of what I could do now thenI remembered the diary. I hurriedly went go get it and continued reading, I found my self laughing when I was done with reading the two pages. I flipped to read the third page when I heard a knock on my door.
" Sir, can we come in now ?" I had forgotten about the maids, they had been standing outside for over an hour.
" Come in" I shouted as I hurriedly put the book under my pillow. I kept on staring at them with a from on my face as they entered, I couldn't help but wonder if they had heard me laughing. But I guess they didn't, it wasn't possible because my bed is quite far from the door. I watched them as they parked the broken class and cleaned the floor. One of them went over to carry the plate I had used.
" Where did Mrs. Kate go to? " I asked just as they were about to leave but they didn't reply, I looked at them waiting for a response but I didn't get any.
" Who prepared the pasta? " I asked, but they didn't answer they kept on looking at each other, behaving like I about to killl them. " Are you guys deaf? " I shouted angrily, why can they just answer my question?
" Sor..ry sir, hm.. m Mrs. Kate hm... Sh.. S"
" Get out all of you. out now! " I was so angry and irritated, what was it going to take them to answer my question, they stood here shaking like fishes that has just been brought out from the water and were struggling for their lives. I took a deep breathe with my eyes closed as they were leaving.
I didn't even wait for them to close the door properly, I brought out the diary immediately and continue reading, I was definitely not returning it until I was done with it.
" Geez, you are so lazy, why do you keep on going late to work everyday . Crazy Mr. Mark keep on shouting at you hahaha, you would definitely get fired on day" I said aloud. " Oh no, you are crushing on another guy. Hahaha is this how this crush thing works? " I laughed out " Few days after your crush openly said he had crush on someone else, you are crushing on another guy you met in a bus, yoo. This girl must be crazy being " I smirked, wondering if I should also have a diary. I kept on reading the diary until I was sleepy, I checked the time, it was 1:59am. I had been reading this diary for about four hours. It was funny how I enjoyed reading someone's diary, ahe her craziest secret. I tried to fight back my sleep but I was over powered.
