THE DIARY OF LIA MARK
(Dear Diary )
BY RUTHIE LEE
EPISODE 3…
Derrick and I finally got down the stairs and stood before my
parents and “his” (Logan’s) parent
“good morn—-
“oh Amelia it’s so nice to see you again” the old woman said
cutting me off and hvgging me.. She let’s go of me but kept on
smiling but sat down everyone eyes went to Derrick who was
actually kind of nervous, then back to me
The young lady among then stood up and smiled,
“so dear, today’s the day”
“the day for what?” I add sarcastically thinking no b©dy heard
me but I was wrong, I quic-kly realised it, as my dad sh0t me a
glare..
“today’s the day you’re getting married” she said with a small
smile
wait!! What?
“I thought it was like two weeks after or three, but today I’m
not even re-ady at all” I said and moved my hair back
“oh dear, you don’t nee-d to be re-ady this is an arranged and
secret marriage” the old woman suddenly said and stands up
Secret? Secret marriage, I wanted to ask why secret but I
decided to keep it to my self..
“secret?” Derrick said out loud and everyone turned to him
except Logan who was busy with his phone, point of
correction crown prince Logan brown kludge
Yeah right, *whatever*
“yes, secret! Do you have a problem with that” the old woman
said rudely to Derrick while he faked a small smile and Said
“no.. No ma’am” ..
Okay this old lady should just watch it, if she’s gonna get all
rude to my best friend I might have to get rude too
“but why secret” I asked suddenly,
“it’s best you don’t know now, but after the wedding which will
take place this Saturday” the old woman said smiling brightly..
“for now you both are getting engaged” the middle aged
woman said and a man in suit who was standing behind our
thirty-two million dollar couch brou-ght out a small but not too
small box and handed over to the middle aged woman who I
just found out that her name is Morgan after the old lady said
“Morgan do the honour” ..
Morgan stood up and turned to Logan.. “Logan!! ” she called
Logan looked up and re-moved the head phone around his
n£¢k, his eyes suddenly fli-ckers around Morgan..
“Uhm yes..” he said while Morgan smiles warmly at him
“could you stand up plea-se” she said while he sighed rolled his
eyes and stood up..
“okay I’m up what do you want” he said somewhat rudely..
“Logan!!…” the youngest woman among them said in a
warning tone glaring at Logan, whom I think is Logan’s mom.
Cause they both look like so alike..
“sorry” Logan said quietly to the woman and she sighed and
shook her head negatively
“Amelia dear, you and Logan are going to exchange this rings
placing them on your fourth f!nger” Morgan said, still with a
smile bringing out those two little of those boxes they sto-re
rings and giving me one and Logan one..
Okay this is Like the weirdest marriage I have ever seen, and
the most weirdest that has ever happened to me..
My mom gave me a look telling me to go ahead and open the
box, I opened it a shiny diamond ring la-id inside the box, and
it looks very expensive.
“Now you both must place those rings on your f!ngers” Morgan
said and I suddenly looked up, Logan threw the box away and
sighed heavily he walked closer to me with the ring in his
hand and pu-ll-ed my hand forward, he gently pushed the ring in
my fourth f!nger and sighed again..
I took out my ring and take a glance at it, there goes my social
life.. I’m. Getting engaged to a boy I don’t know and at
seventeen
Could my life get any worse?
… I bit myl-ips as I pushed the ring in his f!nger and sighed
sadly as I was done..
Morgan and the old woman cl@pped happily while his mom
just smiled briefly..
“so can we go now” Logan ask picking up his headphone
“where are you running to young man we are not done taking”
his mom said and he gro-an ed lowly and sat down back on the
couch ..
“Amelia, plea-se sit!” Logan’s mom said and I looked around
beside all the couch looked occu-pied but luckily I found space
beside Derrick
I sat down there beside him
“we’ll be back on Tuesday today again to get you prepared for
the wedding but for now you can never tell anyone you’re
getting married, and don’t even mention Logan’s name to
anyone, we’ll you two why we’re ma-king this marriage a secret
after your wedding or the day you’re getting married..
un-derstood!” Morgan said while I nodded slowly
“I dont know who he is but I don’t trust him” the old woman
suddenly referring to Derrick, I quic-kly held his hand and said..
“I trust him, he’s my best friend he’ll never tell” Derrick nudged
me pla-yfully and we shared a brief smile..
I looked away and suddenly made eye contact with Logan
who arched an eyebrow at me and I gave him my “what-is-it-
look” he looked away rolling his eyes
“okay then we’ll be talking our leave” Mogan said and they
stood up and Logan quic-kly walked away, his mom sighed
heavily and said “take care then, Amelia” she smiled shorty
and they all walked away after the old woman gave Derrick a
glare..
“that old woman hates me” Derrick said with a laugh after they
left
I laughed with him shortly but stood up and walked to my
room
I sat down on my be-d and stared at my ring,
This ring is like a curse, Logan doesn’t even like me, and I
don’t think I like him either, worst thing that has ever happened
to me is this, I gr@bb£d my pillow, pressed my face In it and
screamed loudly..
When I moved the pillow from my face, I saw Derrick standing
in front of me, I sighed and said “what are you doing here, you
wanna get married to me too, don’t worry you’re free”
“Ha-ha not funny princess, i mean come-on Lia you should be
happy about this” he said
“too bad I’m not” I said sarcastically rolling my eyes
“it’s your fate Now, you have to learn how to leave with that,
not even learn you’ve got to Leave with that” he said and
sighed,
They’ve been a lot of sighing lately I hope it ends soon …
“since you’ve canceled school today I’m gonna go home and
change” Derrick said and walked up to the door,
“wait! You’re leaving me here” I said standing up
“I’m coming back I can’t be in my school uniform walking
around all day” he backfired
“well can I come with you, I can’t stay here alone” I asked
“did you even had to ask” he said rolling his eyes and I smiled
and trailed behind him.
We were alre-ady at the door when Delia my step mom walked
up to me
“hey where are you going to” she ask
“oh I’m just going over Derrick’s house to stay for a while” I
said while she nods and take a step closer to me
“look Lia, I know this might be the ha-rd est p@rt in your life right
now, you just have to take it in and accept it okay” she said
and sighed
“I know, I can’t do anything I’m engaged right?” I said waving
my. f!ngersin the air, she laughed and nudged me pla-yfully
“so what do you think about Logan isn’t he a charm” she said
in a teasing and S-xy tone
“yeah real charm” I replied sarcastically rolling my eyes ..
She laughed lightly and said “okay have fun at derricks”
“thanks mom” I said and hvgged her,
I walked out the door and caught up with Derrick, his house
wasn’t too far, so we got there in no time..
Derrick got to the door, opened it and walked in and I
followed him, “I’m home” he announced
His mom suddenly c@m£ out from. The kitchen I guess
because she was holding a small knife..
“you’re home? Why aren’t you in schoo.. Oh my goodness is
this Lia, ” she asked coming closer to me and i could’ve help it
but smile ..
“hi Mrs yvonne” I said and g@sp surprisingly as she pu-ll-ed me
in quic-kly for a hvg..
“wow it has been so long since you c@m£ here, but why aren’t
you guys In school” she asked dis£ngaging the hvg
“something c@m£ up” Derrick answers for me
“I didn’t ask you” his mother said
“he’s right something actually c@m£ up” I quic-kly said
“w-well what is it” she asked In a motherly concerned tone
Oh no why is she asking me… I have no choice than to tell her
I’m getting married..
“i-i.. I..
“oh yeah Lia there’s something I’d like to show you” Derrick
quic-kly said and dragged me upstairs to his room..
“okay I just saved your bu-tt from my mom you owe me one”
Derrick said the moment we stepped In his room.
“oh quit blabbering” I said and climbe-d on his one person be-d
and la-id on my stomach, he moved to his closet and took of
his shi-t while I sighed and ru-bbe-d my gaze to my “ring”
I ca-ressed the ring softly wishing it isn’t, with myl-ips pouted I
pu-ll out the ring and stared at it Even more
“stare at it a million times you’ll still get married to him” I
heard Derick’s annoying voice behind me
“shut up Eric” I said while he chuckled
“take put it on” I said handing him the ring
“why?” he asks
“well I don’t want to wear it it’s itchy and uncomfortable” I
replied
“what is your parents going to say if they don’t find it in your
hand” he asked
“don’t worry I’ll take it back when I’m going back home, and
that’s not until nighttime” I said
“wait you’re staying here till nighttime” he asked, excitement in
his voice
“y-you don’t want me here?” I asked packing my hair in
ponytail
“of course I do, first of all let’s go and have breakfast, ” he said
and dragged me downstairs..
That day pas-sed like the breeze and Derrick and his mom
really made my day, I love them..
.
The next morning I woke up and got re-ady for school, and me
and Derrick went to school together,
I got to clas-s and sat down Tiredly, today’s Wednesday damn
it three days to my wedding..
I began to stare at my ring again sighing softly
“what’s that” a hvge voice shakes me and I turned
“N-Noah” I called, I almost forgot about this Prince Charming
“hey any good morning to you too” he laughed and sat down
“so why weren’t you In school yesterday” he asked
“oh o i-i well it’s complicated” I said and he shrugged and
turned to look at my ring again.. Which diddly hid behind me
“okay I saw that, why are you wearing it anyway” he asked
“this?.. Um.. I.. I-i..
A teacher suddenly walked in “look a teacher I guess I should
just shut up now” I said and laughed nervously..
.
We got impacted that morning and we went out for break, I
stood to go Derrick’s clas-s when Noah called me and said
“Uhm Lia, let’s have lunch together”
“oh really!!, I’ll just call Derrick first” I said and walked out of
the clas-s but he still followed me
“wait! Let it just be the two of us” he said with pleading eyes
“Uhm.. I always eat with Derr..
He shut my mouth with a k!ss
I quic-kly push him away
Way to ruin my first k!ss.. Or not.. Maybe I’ve k!$$£d Derrick
before, I’m not sure.. But what the hell
“what’s wrong with you” I yanked
“I guess I like you lia” he said sympathetically
“I’m sorry Noah but it can’t work I’m getting married” I said
while his mouth dropped open
“that’s what the ring is for, you’re actually getting married? ” he
asked
Oh no way to go Amelia..
