Just thinking about Will - Maya

Dear Diary,

You've got a lot to catch up on.  During the last couple of weeks many think have happened: new ninja, dates with Will, the double date with Lyn and George and my first kiss (yes!!).

Basically, Wu and Garms (yep, that's what we call him) decided on recruiting a new earth elemental master without our consent.  Her name's Lilly.  She's rather quiet but trust me, she's unbelievable.  I mean, on her first day this trembling 15 year old performed spinjitzu better than the rest of us.  She claims to have never done any sort of training before but I think she's lying.  The rest don't think so, and I quote George's words: "She's too small and timid to do any harm.  She can't lie, even if she wanted."  I can't say I'm not a bit jealous.

Speaking about George, Lyn now has a huge interest in him.  He's ok.  A young, generous and kind master of smoke and carpenter.  Will and I even went on a double date with the two.  Usually Lyn is the joker around here but the funniest thing that happened was that George forgot his wallet and Lyn had to pay.  You should have seen his face lol.

Now, my relationship with Will... is FANTASTIC.

We totally got a lot in common: we both love music, we both know how to play the piano (although he prefers the guitar), we both live away from our parents, we both like horror movies and novels, we both enjoy cooking.  The only thing he doesn't know is that I'm the water ninja and I'm not planning to tell him soon.

We started out with calls, then lots of dinners and dates.  But yesterday was the best one of all.

I took the risk and we spent our date near the monastery.  It's such a beautiful place, especially at night and I wanted him to experience the feeling.  I told him this is where I have kick-boxing lessons (a big fat lie as you can see).  We ordered pizza and sat down by the blossom tree near the monastery, eating and star gazing.

"Can you see that star?" Will said, pointing at one of the smallest stars in the night sky.

"Yeah.  Though it would be better if it was closer," I replied quickly.

"Maya, no matter how close or how far, I will always love you."

I stared at him.  That was the sweetest thing a boy has ever said to me.  I then kissed him and he did the same.  Will placed his arms around me and I dived my hands under his soft red hair.  Our eyes both shut, sucking our lips together, I couldn't stop myself, my temptation for more.  We were just like magnets.  Attracted.  I can't stop thinking about him now.

And that was when Wu showed up.
