Jake. I love the kid but boy can he be loud. I sat up, startled and a little angry, and saw all my friends in front of me.

"Ugh, you guys'll be the death of me I swear." I said, looking around to see that many more people had gathered for the festival.

"But you love us!" said Jules smiling, in her usual happy tone.

I looked around to see the smiling faces of my six best friends, and thought of how much I really did love them.

We sat in a circle and talked for the 75 minutes we had left of the day. We didn't bother going on the slip and slide that the grade ten's had organized and weren't really in the mood to take place in the tug of war or other boring games they had going on.

So, on our last day of school until September, we talked. We made fun of each other and our weird habits, and planned the wonderful weeks and weekends that were to come during the summer.

I realized then, that maybe I should change a little. Maybe I could find out what makes me happy in a guy, so I can stay with him. I'll be Alex except with a hot boyfriend!!

wait. Scratch that.

Alex with a mediocre boyfriend!

The new Alex is setting her standards low.
