Leah: Well, the time has come for us to get back on the road. I've really enjoyed staying here, so it's kind of sad. But, I know how happy my best friend and her big brother will be once we find their parents. And, supposedly, we'll find mine next. Speaking of my best friend, she's been very quiet this morning. Sure she's not the noisiest person normally, but she initiates conversation. We were sitting in the living room drinking the Starbucks that Gigi got us, and I asked her "What's wrong Veggie Girl?" She smiled slightly at the nickname but it quickly disappeared. "I overheard Mr and Mrs. Froud talking about my parents." She said. Oh no, I've read some rumors on the website, but no one knows for sure. "They're divorced." She choked out, and then burst into tears. I squeezed into the chair that she was sitting in and hugged her. She cried for a while, until she got up and went to her room. She walked past Ian on the way out, and he turned to me. "What's wrong with her?" I don't know if she wants me to tell anyone, so I just shrugged. Then his eyes became unfocused, and he became very still. When his eyes refocused they were full of... lust?! He walked closer to me, and before I had time to back up, he kissed me. It was actually kind of nice. Who am I kidding, it felt great. We just stood there for a while, until he suddenly pulled away and said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" but I cut him off by saying "It's totally fine." Then I kissed him again. But he ran away. I guess somebody's playing hard to get. I can do that. I've been wanting a boyfriend for a while.

Ian: It is horrible! First Sandy, and now Leah. What, is it going to make me kiss Carly too?! Ugh, knock on wood. To be honest, I kind of find both girls attractive. But attraction and want are two different things. I don't know who to go for, because It obviously is fine with either. Maybe It will leave me alone if I date one. But then again, this could be Its sick plan. I hope we can find my parents soon. If I can just ask Mom if she had to deal with It, then I'd feel alot better. But if she didn't, I might just be going insane.
