Hi! My name is Harvey Johnson and I'm 13 years old and go to Crystal Academy. My locker is 362 and the combination is 8241. I have a crush on a girl. Her name is Katie. Katie Hilling. She has dark brown hair with chestnut brown eyes. She is beautiful. We don't talk much but I put love letters in her locker. I put it anonymously as "you're secret lover". She may not know it yet but I'm the love of her life. She doesn't even know who I am and that hurts. I always overhear her talking to her popular friends about the secret love letters and laughing. I think she takes them as a joke. I hope she notices me one day. Being in high school is hard. I get picked on for my aqua blue glasses and my scruffy brown hair. It makes me feel like I am nothing sometimes but overall I'm starting not to care as much. Katie always looks at me. I can't tell if it's in a kind way or if she's just like all of the others. Either way I don't care. She's giving me mixed signals and I don't like it. It makes me worry. It makes me feel anxious. Like the smallest boy in the world. I live in Manchester specifically a very small village. There's no secrets. Everyone knows everything about everyone. There's no escaping it. It's like everyone can hear each other's thoughts. I hate the thought of that. I'm a very private person who's quite shy. I keep myself to myself and only have 1 friend. Even then I don't know if he likes me. His name is Nathan. Nathan Riley. He's quite nice and likes me but people like him for some reason. He's quite shy like me so I don't know why.  Maybe it's because he is very smart and people like to copy his work. He doesn't like it when people do that. He has bleached blonde hair that he dyed recently and has navy green glasses.My mum is always at work and my dad is always out with his friends watching football so I just fend for myself. If they are here they don't cook they just order takeaway. Although I love it it sometimes gets boring. I love them even if they make mistakes because everyone makes mistakes right? It's the last day of may half term so back to school tomorrow. I don't want to go to that hell hole again.
