Dear Diary,
Fun and laughter at the 海滩 today, I can tell you! While we were swimming in the sea, this monster wave came along and knocked David and Nani off their surfboards and the rest of us onto the beach. I had my hair all in my face and seaweed in it too. Of course, everyone laughed, and then I threw the seaweed at David and he pushed me in. Nani berated him for it, of course. “A gentleman wouldn’t push a lady in,” she said, and then she started splashing him until he apologised. It was ok, though. I know it’s just David’s jokey way; he’s always like that.
Belle had her eyes on Shang all the time. Honestly, I know she and 花木兰 are my BFFs but when will that girl learn to start flirting? I mean, I know Shang likes her too in that way – it’s totally obvious to anyone but Belle, it seems. And he’s not really one for flirting, so she may never find out unless she does something about it. Of course I’d never say to her “Belle, ask him out before someone else does,” because then she’d get embarrassed and I would never want to do that to her 或者 Mulan.
Afterwards, Nani invited us all to hers for a coffee, but the others all had stuff on, so I went to hers without them. Nani’s 首页 is right near the beach, she’s so lucky. She shares it with her parents and her little sister Lilo, who’s a little odd; no, odd’s the wrong word, unique, that’s a better term. But she’s a sweet little kid and she likes fish; she believes that there’s one called Pudge that controls the weather. It’s best to just humour her there. But as I said, she’s cute enough, although she sometimes she drives Nani crazy; but then what sisters don’t do that? I mean, I have six sisters and we all drive each other nuts. I did try pointing out to Nani that she’s lucky not having six sisters, and only having to put up with one, but she 说 “Yeah, but you’re the youngest, so 你 don’t know what it’s like having a younger sister.” I had to agree with her there.
Anyway, her parents were out and Lilo was at her hula class, so it was just us at home. Nani wanted to know about my new job at Smith’s Shipping Supplies.
“I can’t wait!” I gushed. “The guy who runs it, John Smith, is so hot! And he’s really nice too!”
“Whoa, there, girl!” she laughed. “Don’t go falling for your employer before you’ve even started the job!”
I laughed. “I’m not falling for him, Nani! I’m just saying. I met some of the guys I’ll be working with; some joker called Jim Hawkins and a girl called Cinderella; she didn’t say what her last name was.”
“Maybe she doesn’t have one,” Nani suggested, “Like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Hey, are there any other positions open there? My Mom’s nagging at me to get a job too.”
“I could ask,” I said, “but I didn’t think that 商店 work was your thing.”
“I’d take anything right now,” she sighed. “Although, David did say there was some work going down at The 火, 消防 Hut, waitressing and stuff, so maybe I could try there.”
So, I helped her send off an application form. I can really see Nani as a waitress. But I guess I won’t know anymore about that until she gets a reply from them. I can always ask John Smith – what a lush name, John Smith! Yeah, I can always ask him if there’s any extra work going if Nani doesn’t get the job at The 火, 消防 Hut. Oh, he’s such a nice guy! And I wasn’t joking about him being hot! Tall, lean, athletic- ish – and blonde with really deep blue eyes; oh! I think I can feel the 蝴蝶 in my stomach just thinking about his smile!
Ah! Better put this away now. My sisters have just got in. They keep nagging at me to let them see this. Why should they? My diary is private! I won’t let anyone see it, ever! It’s mine! I’d better put this under the 床, 床上 where I always hide it. They never think to look there for it. I’ll write 更多 tomorrow, when certain unwanted parties aren’t around.
Tootles for now
