Class had began at 1:00 and it's already 2:05. Now we have Advanced Biology, I hate this class; but I have to pass it this year, I barely did last year. This is Michaels favourite class though, he's really smart and cocky sometimes. Thank God this class isn't so long. I sat with Roxy today cause she asked (PLEADED) for me to sit next to her. All we did was hand out homework and we could work on them if we liked but I didn't; of course. I just started drawing random stuff that came to my mind. I even drew Mickey Mouse. When class ended, I was beyond (!) excited! I ran out the door to my locker; only to find the one and only, Lou Henderson. When he saw me coming, he smiled.

"Whadda ya want Lou?" I asked, coming closer to him.

"Have you thought about it?" He asked coming closer to me this time. I forgot all about it, I was busy at the time.

"Oh, er. Bout that..." I said awkwardly.

"I was gonna think about it at home." Rescuing my plunge.

"I should come with," He smiled at me and in return I rolled my eyes. "I won't leave you alone until you let me come with." He crossed his arms like a child which made me laugh a little.

"Fine, if that's what it takes. But I'm going to the tryouts for the musical first. And we'll take my car and that's final." I said this acting like I was his mother since he was acting like a child.

We made our way to the school auditorium. When I walked in, Mr. Gallagher was saying a little speech; I'm not sure. I went to one of the seats and waited. After 7 people auditioned I thought that I shan't wait to be last! So I went up on stage next and saw Mr. Gallagher's face light up.

"Ms. Johnson, please sing Skinny Love for me." I loved this song and I was so happy when I figured out he put it in the musical.

"C'mon Skinny Love just last the year.

Pour a little salt, we were never here.

My, my,my, my,my,my, my, my,my,my."

I sang until the song was finished and I was actually proud of my performance. Mr. Gallagher gave me a smile and gave a gesture meaning to go. After that I went to Lou who was waiting patiently. He actually auditioned for this and I might say he was good. I saw Hiatt and the gang in the crowd smiling at me. I even saw Tyler and Kathy sucking some face. I almost puked out my lungs right there on the spot. I made my way to Lou I tugged on his arm.

"Let's go!" I yelled.

"Lead me!" He yelled back. We went to the school parking lot and went towards my car. It wasn't too far, thank ya Jesus. It took us only 10 minutes to get to my apartment. I lead Lou into the living room and told him to sit on the couch.

"So lets get to thinking!" Lou said enthusiastically, rubbing his hand together.

"Okay, I'm gonna lay out the pros and cons on this note pad and you can look over them after." I said a grabbing the notepad and pencil. I started writing right away. In only a few minutes 'til I was finished! Lou quickly swiped the notepad out of my hands; surprising me. I really didn't want him to see what I put...

"Pros: He's sweet, good looking, nice smile, lovable like a puppy..." He went on with the rest of my Pros, when he got to the Cons, I got a little afraid.

"Cons: He can be a dick, cheated on me, he's lied to me, made me cut, made me depressed-" he cut himself off and looked at me with sad eyes.

"I-I did this?" He asked looking down at the paper.

"Uh, yea..." I'm afraid of telling people thinking they'll be all judgmental. That's why only told 1 person, not counting Lou. And of course it's Hiatt.
