Dear Journal,

I met a boy today. He sits next to me in Literature. He's quite cute.

Dear Journal,

The boy from Literature class now has a name. It's Nathan. I think it suits him.

Nathan came over to work on a book report we got assigned. He accidentally stumbled upon my room. Said he's impressed by my book collection.

Dear Journal,

We got an A+ on our report. Nathan suggested we get celebratory milkshakes at the diner. It was fun. I hope he had a good time, too.

Dear Journal, 

 I took baby Angela to the park today. We ran into Nathan. He stayed to help me take care of her. He's really good with kids. I think Angela likes him more than me now.

Dear Journal,

Nathan just left. He'd come by to return a book I'd lent him. I invited him to stay, and we ended up watching cheesy horror movies all night. They were so bad. I may have lost a few brain cells.

Dear Journal,

Things have been weird since Halloween. I can't stop thinking about him. It's annoying.

Dear Journal,

We passed a few notes in class today. I think he was... flirting? No, I'm probably thinking too much into it. Anyway, we got caught. We have to stay in detention tomorrow.

Dear Journal,

Detention wasn't so bad. Nathan talked the coach into letting us leave a couple hours early. We went to an arcade. Turns out I'm a pro.

Dear Journal,

Today was Thanksgiving. Nathan dropped by for a few minutes when I wasn't home. He gave my mom a letter that he wrote for me. I'm gluing it in here for safe keeping.

Dear Journal, 

We almost kissed today. But we got interrupted. I don't know if I'm grateful or upset. What's wrong with me?

-Olivia

Dear Journal, 

We haven't talked since New Year's Eve. Which sucks, because I realized I like him. A lot.

-Olivia

February 20, 1999

Dear Journal,

I finally cornered him. Turns out he likes me, too. He was just too scared of ruining things between us. So, I kissed him.

I almost told him today. But I got scared. What if he doesn't feel the same way?

He loves me, too.
