Chapter Twelve: Jason Reed

As much as I enjoyed my other classes, I couldn't help being especially excited for Journalism because I got to see him again.

I don't even know his name. I've just been calling him Cute Boy in my mind. I haven't even told Lauren or Megan about him yet. 

He has strawberry-blonde hair and long bangs that are swept to the side. He's tall and handsome and he has dreamy blue eyes and a beautiful tan...

I'm going to ask him his name today, I told myself as the Journalism lesson started.

Mr. Martin went on about the different types of news articles but I wasn't paying attention. 

I need a way to get his attention. Then I thought I would write a note! I silently tore off a piece of the last page of my notebook, the last page so it wouldn't be noticeable, and I took my pencil and scribbled (in my neatest handwriting) "What's your name?"

I folded up the note and subtly placed it on his desk. 

Cute boy saw the note and picked it up. Before he opened it, he looked at me and smiled. I blushed profusely. He opened the note, read it, and picked up his pencil and wrote on the note. He folded it back up and placed it on my desk. I opened it up.

"Jason Reed. You?"

"Carrie Martin." I wrote back, and placed the note on his desk. He read it, smiled at me, then wrote back.

"Nice to meet you, Carrie." The note read. I screamed internally for the rest of the lesson.
