Oral Diary/Soliloquy from Philip’s point of view. Spoken into his handphone at 3A.M. He can’t sleep and can’t stop thinking of everything that has happened to him. His only chance at redemption is to explain and apologize. He sends his finished diary to Miss Narwin.
Dear diary,
It is now 3 a.m. in the morning but I still cannot sleep. The scenes of the whole incident keep flashing in front of my eyes, haunting me endlessly. Right now I'm still on my bed, restlessly fidgeting about, trying to get some sleep. Right now, I realize that my only chance at redemption is to explain the situation and apologize to you, Miss Narwin. So I am going to confess to you right now.
The truth is, I hummed along 'the star spangled banner' during class not because I was being patriotic, but because I wanted to annoy you as I hated you. I hated you because you failed my English and that resulted in me not being able to enter the school track team. I also hated you as you are so old-fashioned and that I felt that you are not understanding enough. It was bad enough for you to have been my English teacher and when you turned out to be my new homeroom teacher, I was determined to get out of your homeroom class or even your English class. And so, I decided to annoy you to have my homeroom class switched. That was my only intention. I never had the intention to blow the whole matter up or even to get you fired. I was just being selfish.
I have realized my mistakes now. I am the only person to blame for all that has happened to me in the end. I hope that you will forgive me, Miss Narwin.
