The Lake

Nikki

As soon as I found out Josh was in my class this year, I freaked. Josh has been my crush since second grade, and last year when I asked him out, and he said no, I was heartbroken.

I'm determined to make him at least talk to me again.

School starts tomorrow, and I'll be on the same bus as Josh, along with Kevin, the kid that likes me. He's really nice but, he can't be more obvious. Also on my bus are Rob, and Tim. The popular ones. And last Joy. I've known all them (except for Kevin) since pre-k. I used to be really good friends with Josh. I sure do miss those days. When everyone got of the bus, he would sit with me. But this was before Kevin came around. Kevin came in 3rd grade, and he wasn't my favorite person on earth. He never talked to me. And I just found out he was in my 3rd grade class.

Josh

So, Nikki is in my class, I'm not sure about her anymore. I used to like her. A lot. But I don't know anymore, it seems she moved on, which kills me. I really like her, but I don't know anymore.

First Day: Nikki

As soon as I walked in the class, I knew right away, I knew no one. It's one of those classes where your gonna have to make new friends, which is not my greatest trait. Then, I saw someone, Josh. I hadn't seen him all summer. But right next to him was Connor, another kid I had gone to pre-k with. Our brothers were best friends so we saw each other a lot, but we never really talked. Next to Connor was a kid I never knew existed, Steven. Steven had beautiful blue eyes. And right away I knew I liked him.

Connor

Nikki looked different, she looked taller and tanner. I remember her when we were kids. She had short hair and bangs. And I could tell she had them over the summer. Her bangs were shorter. As soon as I looked at Josh, he was nervous. After all these years he liked her. And he never stopped. Steven was sitting right next to me, and he's been keeping something from Josh. Steven likes Nikki. I could tell as soon as she walked in the room he liked her. To me this is a oh God moment.

Steven

Wow, all I can say is wow. She's pretty, and cute. All in one package. I know Josh likes her, so he would be pissed if I said anything to him. Connor, Me and Josh were all going to Josh 's house after school, which I'm sure is up the road from Nikki's house. Which make me happy. Cause I need to ask if we could hang out with her.

After School: Nikki

Wow, Both Connor and Steven are on my bus. So I can tell there going to Josh 's. I've never been inside his house, but he's been to mine. Josh and my brother were good friends, but there two years apart, so that broke the friendship. Joy was sitting with me and knew I liked Josh. So she was freaking out. "Are you gonna talk to him at all?" I always hated when she does this. She has this theory that Josh and I are meant to be. I wish. Josh and I are like birds. They're friends for a while but then leave. Just like he did.

Josh

As soon as she was off the bus, Connor would not shut up about her. He thinks Nikki and I are cute. Yea right. Most kids think Nikki's weird, but to me she's perfect. When my bus stop comes I'm off the bus so fast. I'm bored.

Steven

As soon as I was in his house I asked if we could take a walk, and invite Nikki. Josh looked at me like I'm crazy, but he said fine. We headed downstairs and out the door. Nokia's use was right around the corner. I was nervous. I liked her, a lot.

Connor

It felt weird walking down that road. Knowing that if Josh found out Steven would die on the spot. As soon as Steven asked if Nikki could come I gave him the look. The look as in don't go there, but he did. Idiot.
