Journal #1

I don’t know what to write. My favorite food is pistachio gelato. My favorite movie is Scarface because that’s a dude who’s about his money. My favorite color is green. My favorite subject is math. My favorite animal is the whale shark.

I hate crabs, Pokémon, and people who talk with their hands.

Justin Shaw is my best friend. He’s known me the longest. We got secrets I wouldn’t even write here.

Nobody thinks I have deep thoughts, but I do. The judge in my last case barely even looked at me. Didn’t even hear me out. He said I’ve shown a “pattern of stupid decision making” so it was no surprise that I was standing there in front of him. He basically called me stupid. Like I never got an A in math or “mugwump” on Jeopardy! before.

People think that because they got a position that’s higher than yours they’re better than you. That’s what gets me the most. I’m supposed to bow down to somebody just because they got a position? They never made no mistakes? Their shit don’t stink?

I want to get rich. If I was rich, I wouldn’t even spend all the money on myself. The first few things, yeah, of course: nice house, nice car that could become a boat or submarine. But after that I’d help everybody else out. I’d get Mamá a house just for her paintings. I’d get Papá a new muscle car with real brakes. I’d get Tomás his OWN bed!!! The whole team would get new uniforms and we’d always fly private jets to games and we’d only eat at Olive Garden. Not to mention women galore. Little robots that did your chores for you. Everybody would be living good, and when somebody needed something I’d take care of it, no problem. All they’d have to promise is that they’d have my back if something happened. That’s the most important thing to me—loyalty. If you don’t have loyalty, you don’t have nothing. Doesn’t matter how much money you have.

Running out of ideas now. I’m good at telling stories, so maybe I’ll write one. Tomás eats my stories up, even the bad ones. For example, that Batman story is crappy but he loves it. I got stories way better than that. Maybe I’ll try something new. Sci-fi or Western. Ever since I saw Gattaca I’ve been wanting to write a sci-fi story. What I won’t write is no love story. That’s not what I do. And what if this thing got into the wrong hands? Now the whole world knows Frank Torres writes love stories in his journal like a girl? Never gonna happen.
