We are okay.

When we met

From Laura's journal she had in High school.
__When they were in high school__

Today there's a new kid at our school.

And everyone seems to be flocking around him like vultures.

I'm not going to lie, I was interested at first, but then I gave up, being to lazy to find out more.

During my lunch period I went into the band room to pick up my piano sheets so I could practice at home.

And I just had to play,

I mean, no one was there, of course I had to.

The soft ballad of Homeward Bound always made me happy.

But I pounded on the keys in surprise to see the new kid standing at the band room door.

"Sorry, I was looking for the Science room."

He seemed so cool.

Like seriously, he belonged in Hollywood at performing arts school for modeling or something.

I didn't even say a word to him, I was trying to act cool so I just kept playing, just a bit softer this time.

"What'a your name?"

His voice sounded cool too.

And I tried so hard to be cool, but of course I became a stuttering mess.

But he just laughed, and I'm hoping he found it cute.

"My name is Ross."

His name sounds cool too.

Ross. The new cool kid.

Laura's thoughts.

I hate reading this.

I was so stupid,

Going on about how he's soo cool.

Yeah, he's so cool that he broke your heart without even blinking.

I wish I never met, Ross, the cool new kid.

Based on something personal...

But they basically jammed while he skipped his science class during her lunch period.

And I sang homeward bound for a solo and scored the highest out of the pioneer league, which is the biggest school performance competition in Kansas
