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.
