Diary of a Rose

Dear Diary,

My first entry in this new diary. I normally don't keep one of these things but, thought I'd be a good idea. It's been about a year since Seth was sent away for Ashford and I've been completely miserable. I've been stuck with my parents and of course, they hate me. Oddly enough, they seem to have starting acting warmer to Seth...Then again...he is a prodigy. We've been getting reports of what a great prefect he is...That's Seth for you. I really miss him. The good news is that the new school year is starting soon, and I'll be attending Ashford as well. Only thing about it I'm looking forward to, is seeing Seth.

Dear Diary,

It's been a few weeks now and the new school year is starting. I just got to the school...where's Seth? I was supposed to meet him at the front so he could show me around. Yeah, apparently prefects are in charge of all that too. The Adults at this school really don't seem to care too much. Looking around, I see other students giving me funny looks. It's probably because of this silver insignia on my jacket....Well, I see Seth now. So that's it for this entry...wish me luck.

Dear Diary,

This is why I hate unpacking. Something always manages to get lost and unfortunately it was this diary. I eventually found it mixed with some old photo albums I brought with me. It's been almost a year now since I got to Ashford....and a lot has happened. The first few weeks were miserable for me. While sure, I'm more advance than other students in terms of power training, I've been having a hard time keeping up with work. Prefects have a lot of crap to do....thank god I have Seth. He's always willing to help me out. Could i be any luckier? The Prefects themselves are horrible though. They do everything they can to suppress students and those who try and fight back. Afterall...we all know that we're going to become government tools some day and that was all we were good for. My parents said that straight to me once. It was while Seth was already away though. When they told me that, I just knew that I couldn't go through with it.

But..besides that...something really serious has happened. I was wandering around the school one night and somehow ended up in the West Tower. I followed some student in and...when I entered....there were students everywhere. As I soon found out, I had gotten into the Battle Front, a rebellions, hide out. They were pretty shocked I did. Apparently they didn't know what to do with me. As I've heard, hardly anyone, let alone a prefect has made it inside. They looked like they were about to kill me. Then, he came in. The battlefront leader. He said he saw potential in me, and his dream, this idea of a world of equality and freedom. It's intoxicating. He asked me to join as a spy, and I accepted.

I don't know how I'm going to do it...I'm going to have to lie to Seth for the first time in my life. Anyways, I gotta go. My roommate is a pretty strict prefect and ordering me to get to work, better go before I get burned...

Dear Diary,

There is another guy in the battlefront. He's blonde, handsome, flirty, and a definite playboy. I don't know about him yet, something is off. Rolo likes him though, and he always had amazing instincts. If he ever tries anything on me, though, I'll hurt him.

Rolo has decided to take him on as an apprentice, just like I am. I'm kind of jealous. I don't know why. Maybe I just like being Rolo's favorite

Dear Diary,

Once again it's been a while. Freshmen year is starting soon and I had to switch rooms. Unfortunately, Une accidentely took some of my books and this diary along with it. I only got it back now. Thank god I have a lock on this thing or else my cover would have been blown. That's right. I'm still working for the Battle Front, and i'm slowly rising the ranks. Studies and Prefect things make it so me and Seth don't see each other as often as I like though...at least I get to see him at all.

Anyways. There is this new prefect today. His name is Kyle and he is...extremely gorgeous...He's the same age as Seth...and I could have sworn he winked at me earlier...

Dear Diary,

Kyle asked me out today. While sure, a few guys have asked me on dates...Kyle was the first I've actually said yes to. It's too bad I have to keep up appearances around him still. Ugh. Whatever. Being a spy really sucks sometimes. I wonder if Seth will approve. Afterall, his opinion matters the most to me...

Dear Diary,

It's been two weeks since I began dating Kyle...he's funny, charming and just amazing. I don't understand why no one seems to like him. Seth doesn't like him either...We were walking through the courtyard last night and something amazing happened.. We were just talking...and suddenly I felt his lips against mine. He kissed me...my first kiss...

Dear Diary,

It's been a month and I discovered why no one seemed to like Kyle. Today was out anniversary and I went out to surprise him with a present, as well as tell him something I had been wanting to for a while now but, instead I found him tonguing some blonde in the courtyard.

Why? Was I not good enough? Damn it...I shouldn't be crying..I slapped him...I would have done more if I could think straight...whatever...it's over. I'll get even someday..until then, I'll just focus on Battle Front work. I don't need a relationship.

Dear Diary,

Happy birthday to me. I never liked my birthday and never cared to celebrate it. Today was nice, however. I spent a day with Seth, we went on a picnic in the forest and it was nice. It was just the two of us and for once, it felt like there were no secrets. He got me a necklace, he probably made it himself. I really have the best brother in the world.

When I stopped into the West Tower afterwards, Rolo greeted me with a surprise. My own office. The room is gorgeous, it has space for me to dance, a bed, a desk, a punching bag and a special lock on the door. As he said, every future leader needs their own office.

Dear Diary.

It's almost the end of freshmen year now and Rolo officially made the announcement. Since the current Battle Front Second-in-Command has graduated, I'll be filling in his position. It'll be a lot more work, but I'll do anything to continue to fight for this cause. I guess I should be happy, proud maybe. But, I'm not. I guess...it just means more lies and more secrets....more time away from Seth. Anyways...that's it. I wonder how Kyle's enjoying the dungeons right now.

Dear Diary,

Its all my fault.

Dear Diary.

This is a followup to earlier. No words can describe what's going on right now, but I may as well try. The seniors are graduating, and we were planning a huge mission to interfere and to try and spread our cause out to the families and people coming to the graduation, getting them to see the truth.

However, the prefects were on to us. They knew. We were ambushed on sight. Bodies were falling everywhere, there was blood, so much blood. The prefects, and even some of the battlefront were out of control. Innocents were getting hit. It was horrible.

I tried to defend as many people as I could, camouflaged any BF identities. I was working with Rolo, as usual, when the worst. I turned my back, for just a second to fight off a prefect. When I looked back at Rolo, it was too late. He stood between a prefect and an innocent. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. I couldn't stop it. I couldn't. I watched the prefect attack Rolo, and Rolo fell. I ran to his side, I tried to help, tried to get him to hold on, but it was too late. He was gone. He died in my arms.

It should have been me.

Dear Diary,

Rolo's dead. I'm filling in as leader for now, as there is no one else. I can't do this. I can't even think of taking the spot that should have been Rolo's. I feel sick to my stomach, it should have been me that was killed. The battlefront is scrutinizing me, saying I will never be as good as him. They're right. This shouldn't be happening.

The only person that has been of any comfort is ,Chandler, of all people. He's an idiot...but, I actually kinda like him. I guess we have something in common, now. Our hatred for the prefects and our wish to avenge Rolo.

Dear Diary,

I'm no longer a virgin. That may be somewhat important.

Dear Diary.

Something amazing and terrifying has happened. Somebody set off a bomb near the prefect dorms. No innocents were harmed, but quite a few prefects were killed. Including Rolo's killer. The man behind is is this person called Zero, I have no idea who he is. But, he promises victory for the battlefront, most of the BF seem to fall at his feet. I don't trust him, and neither does Chandler.

In any chance, I met Rolo's brother, Lelouch. He's extremely handsome, we talked a bit. He seemed very close to his brother, there was something about him though, that was oddly familiar. I can't describe it.

Dear Diary,

Its been another battlefront victory. This Zero keeps creating more and more of these so called 'miracles'. I still don't trust him. But....he has earned my respect.

I've been spending some added time with Lelouch, he's immensely intelligent and witty, he seems troubled. Why wouldn't he be? He just lost his brother, if I lost Seth...I wouldn't know what to do. He keeps seeming like he wants to tell me something, but I can't figure out what it is. We're going to the beach today....we plan to do a small memorial for Rolo.

Dear Diary,

.....We kissed.
