Dear Diary,
I go back to school tomorrow, I feel sick.
My phone vibrated at 6:51 this morning.
Tyler texted me.
I felt sick again. I read the message and felt even sicker. I didn't know that was possible.
Tyler: Hey! You seemed upset yesterday just wanted to check on you.
I didn't know how to feel. He texted me a second time. My hands shook.
Tyler: I'm heading to the park since it's so nice today! Wanna join?
I said yes.
I smiled gently when I saw him sitting on a bench, he waved and smiled
I waved shyly and walked over slowly. I felt like crying I was nervous. Shocker.
He asked me if I was okay. I said yes. The answer was no. He talked, I listened. He laughed at his own joke.
His laugh was pretty.
My mom called, he got quiet.
She told me that she was going out and to be safe. I replied back with okay.
Tyler was smiling at me. He smiles a lot. It made me feel fuzzy
I talked about flowers. We sat for another hour.
He bought me lunch and walked me home.
My heart was beating so hard it hurt.
Goodnight
-River A.
