Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

So on my way home today, I couldn't stop smiling. I tried but then my face started twitching and I looked like an idiot, but that's besides the point. I left speech and debate pretty late and saw Mark and some of his friends just sitting outside behind the library. I was going to say hi, but I couldn't catch his eye and didn't want to make a fool out of myself. As I was about to enter the library, Aminta came out  with a cupcake from the library bookstore grand opening and we waved to each other. I walked through the library hoping my dad was already waiting outside, but he wasn't. Luckily, a bench was open. As I was about to sit down, a random guy also sat down. I was fine with it since I had at with strangers most of the summer. He offered me a cookie he had from the grand opening, but I didn't feel like eating anything with my sweaty hands and since it seemed weird to accept it. I took out my phone to tell him, since we were talking. Then I opened up Clash of Clans, and the guy said, "No way, you play clash of clans?" I was already used to that reaction from just about everyone so I just said, "Yeah". I wasn't exactly expecting a conversation since most people I met at the library wanted quiet. Strangely enough that wasn't the case. I learned that his name was Jeffrey. He graduated from the school I'm currently going to. He was starting college in a month. He learned that my name is Jessica. I'm a freshman and my cousin is his age. He learned that my cousin is going to a different college. I don't know what had me tell him about my week in college, but I guess I was more comfortable with it after telling my friends in English about it. I also don't know why it made me happy. I guess I was just glad there are some good people in this world.

Getting happier and happier,

J
