Author's Note: Ok, I know it's been like forever. Actually, it's been like 5 months or something, but yeah.... well... yeah. This isn't a real chapter, just a sort of interlude type thingy. It's not crucial to the story, but it does raise some questions and drop some hints. Hope you enjoy, however brief this is.

Diary of Jewels 1
The first day of the cruise went pretty much normally. Tink was prety fast to find me, I think she set a new record. Of course, Chris and Andrew showed up pretty soon after, Chris toting his new exploit proudly. Rebecca I think was her name. Anyway, we all chilled for a little while before heading down to the youth meething they have every time. That was when the day started to get interesting. There was this guy... he joined our table with his younger brother. They were talking to the other girl there that none of us knew, and I caught his name. Alex. He really was a cutie. I wanted to do something to get to know him, but besides Tink none of the others know... Anyway, they went swimming after the meeting and I made my excuses from the rest so I could folow them. Alex looked like a fish in water he swam so great. I just got back from 'reading' by the pool and I have toget ready for dinner tonight. I keep feeling like He's gonne show up. I don't want to see Him. Not after...
Tonight was... fantastic! I knew it, I just knew he was-- sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Alex and his brother (his name's Danny) and that girl, Claire were looking for a table to sit at, so I waved them over without really thinking. Chris started to whine about it but he shut up before they got near enough to hear, especially after Tink jabbeb him in the ribs. I guess I was still a bit paranoid that He might turn up, but I don't think anyone noticed. At least, I hope no one noticed. Anyway, Alex sat right next to me this time and I had such a hard time eating and trying not to be too obvious in looking at him. I got a bit sad cause it was clear the chick was into him, but he didn't seem to be returning the attention. That made my hopes soar.
The Teen Scheme manager came out again and did his routine telling the kids about the cruise. I have to talk to dad about that... It gets more annoying each year. Anyway though, when Danny heard about the Karaoke he got all excited. When Alex announced that they were gonna go, I saw my chance and took it. I was going to just spend the whole night sitting next to him, getting him buzzed and then start hitting on him, but it turned out I didn't need to. After a few drinks and intervention from Danny, we got Alex to go up and sing. He looked stunning, with the lights on him. He sang one of the standard Karaoke songs, but it didn't matter. He was amazing. They even let him to an en-cour. I recognised it imediately. "In Your Eyes" by Kylie Minogue. He started pointing out across the room with the song so I looked about me. I figured it must have been Claire. It's weird, he's not what I'd usually go for. I mean, yeah he's cute, like really cute, but he's pretty small. Ben was--- nevermind.
Anyway, after he finished, he was coming to join us when Chris almost ruined it all. He made some comment about Alex being a fag and he heard. He just turned and ran. I could have punched Chris. I went after him, but not before threatening Chris. I found Alex out on the balcony and he got real mad with me and then shouted that he was a fag. That was all I'd been waiting to hear. I just grabbed him and kissed him.
The look on his face was great! He looked like he'd died and gone to heaven. We split without even telling the others (Tink is sooo going to kill me tomorrow, but it was so worth it!). We got in the elevator and I got the shock of my life. I remember a ltitle while back, my dad did some buisness with the Parker family and they all came over for a dinner. But their son, Jason I think was his name, was in the elevator and some gorgeous guy. I never even suspected Jason was gay, but the way those two started kissing didn't leave much doubt. I totally have to catch up with him later.
Anyway, I'm about to crash. I have to get up early so I can find out which is Alex's cabin and give him back his shoes. I hope it wasnt just a one night thing. He really is adorable.
Sorry, that's all there is for this post. Next time I'll have a real chapter for you. (hopefully). Send your complaints, comments and questions to ArchangelMatthew72@Hotmail.com
