lara jean covey's pov:

"say cheese!" my dad says snapping a picture. "11th grade and 6th grade i can't believe my little girls have grown up so fast." he smiles tears in his eyes. me and kitty hug him tightly before getting in the car.

"ready?" i ask her.

"wait." kitty says putting in a helmet.

"seriously?" i roll my eyes.

"seriously."

once we get to school, i hug kitty good luck and we go in our seperate ways. in the hall, i spot josh and awkwardly wave at him. oh my god. my locker is next to a snake, Gen. she was my friend in middle school but now she's just a snobby bitch, because for some reason she ditched me in 7th grade.

"hi lara jean!" she said, pretending to be friendly.

"hey gen." i mumbled back.

"so... i saw your drive her in a car. hopefully you didn't kill anyone. shouldn't you be playing it safe with that cute sparkly blue bike you have?"

i roll my eyes "bye gen." i slam the locker door shut, and she giggles. i walk away, looking for my only friends christine, but i call her tings.

lj-where are you?

i text her.

tings- class!

lj-lunch?

tings- course!

lj-see ya later

tings-see yaaa

i head to class. as usual, i take a seat in the back row.

RING (the bell rings)

just as the bell rang, peter, as in peter kavinsky, my ex-crush walks in class.

"sorry im late." then he takes the last open seat, the one right next to mine. he smiles at me and i smile back.

you see, back in 7th grade, i had my first kiss with peter. we were playing spin the bottle, and i kissed peter. it was a mistake because gen liked peter at that time. it worked out for her though, because now she's dating him.

the rest of the lesson dragged on, and finally it was lunch.

lj- tings! where r u?

tings- mc d's?

lj-TINGS!

tings- im so sorry!

i sighed and went to the bleackers. i was looking for josh.we used to always sit on the bleackers. and there he was. he was listening to music like always.

he waved at me, so i waved back and sat next to him.

"can i?" i asked.

"course." he said giving me one of the ears from his ear phones. we spent the rest of lunch listening to his music.

after school, home

i hate school. i can already tell this is going to be a long year.

"lara jean?" kitty asks, knocking on my door.

"yes kitty?"

"will you watch golden girls with me?"

"is that even a question?!"

me and kitty end up watching golden girls for 3 hours as we eat a bunch of junk. i love my little sister.

kitty's pov:

as soon as lara jean fell asleep, i ran up to her room and got the blue box in her closet. oh wait, did she not explain it yet? basically lara jean writes a love letter every time she has a crush. she has written 5 in total, one for peter kavinsky, high school jock, one for josh sanderson, margots ex boyfriend, one for kenny from camp, one for lucas krapf from homecoming and one from john ambrose from model un. my sister—-she's kinda lonely, so yes i sent the letters out. all 5.
