Priscilla: Mysterious pouch arrives

Now it seems almost everyone's liking Qiu now. I dunno and dun understand what the hell is going on? Love triangle? I think more like rectangle, and even seems Jerry was a bit shaken too. I dunno.

The following day afternoon, a pouch arrived for me from South Africa. Qiuru took it for me from the FedEx guys. I came back from school, let Ben take my bag up to the room and I headed to the kitchen.

"Hello." Qiu said.
"Hi, is there something that was supposedly for me?" I asked as I open the fridge to pull out a quickie meal and some fruit juice.
"Ya, I was just about to tell you that." She said, and handed me the pouch.
"What's inside?" She asked.
"Diamonds." I said, taking the pouch from her and put it under my arm, as I stack the leftover pasta into the microwave.
"Hahaha~ Very funny." She said sarcastically.
"It's fine if you don't believe." I said, continue to move around in the kitchen for stuff.
"It's really diamonds?" She asked, interested.
"I thought someone thinks it's a joke?" I said, settling down by the table with a glass of fruit juice.
"BEN~ My tools.." I shouted.
"Here, Miss." Ben said as he hurriedly brought my tools to the table.
"Thanks." I said.

I opened the pouch and inside the envelope is a small black velvet pouch. I pour out its contents onto the mini black velvet padded tray. I took the tweezers and pick up a diamond.

"Ben, take notes, will you?" I asked.
"Yes, Miss." He answered. I took the mini scope-lens and examined the diamond.
"1.01 carat. Cutting: round brilliant. Colour range, hmm.. F; clarity grade: VS2..Fluorescence; none." I said. Then I put down the diamond.
"Polish and symmetry: excellent." I added.
"Thanks Ben." I said as Ben handed me the written notes. Then I picked up others one by one to examined.
"Wow.." Qiuru said.
"Where did you learn that from?" She asked.
"Experience." I said.
"I used to work at a jewellery shop." I added.

DING~ The microwave was done. I put down whatever I was doing and went to retrieve the food.
"So, what are the diamonds for?" She asked.
"Some for the meteorite ring, the rest I'm going to set them in rings, for myself." I said.
"Hey.." She said.
"I haven't finished," I answered, "and you." I added.
"That's better." She said.
