Diary Entry #15

  Dear Diary,

  I think I like Jonas. Even though I know I shouldn't.

 After we had a presentation about the United Nations. I took a brief glance at his attire, he had a suit on along with suspenders to complete the entire look except he wasn't bald like Luther himself. He cleaned up well in my opinion. I wore a Wild West costume while Marie wore a purple Indian costume. Ruby hadn't worn anything but her casual civilian. We were together in the group. After that, I talked to him and asked him how the speech went.

 "It didn't go too bad in my opinion but the guys were just laughing their asses off and it got me a little worked up but I couldn't do anything about it. One second it was in my mind then the next, my mind was blocked." I giggled at his experience, he stuck his tongue out at me childishly.

 We began to talk openly about other things, such as his secret hatred for Sean, how cocky he was when it came to volleyball but I couldn't help but be empathetic towards Jonas because it was true. 

 I asked him which college he would like to apply to and he told me that he wanted to go to Southampton in Massachussetts. My eyes enlarged in surprise. That was a good place to go, they had a lot of scholarships to offer. Maybe he could work harder in his studies and acquire one?

 "Then when I'm through with all this dreaded education, I'm going to be famous and hot." I laughed even harder when he didn't mention his height. When I calmed down, he was staring at me.

 "What are you looking at me for?" I questioned. He just smiled.

 I was taller than Jonas by three or four inches more and he's been complaining about it ever since I transferred here. I could recognize the gleam in his eyes.

 "Don't act like you're all innocent, Jill!" He exclaimed, I chuckled. I leaned my head on my elbow and waited as he continued with his rant.

 "When I become a six footer, you're going to be drooling," I rolled my eyes at his life-long wish. Little did he know I wasn't drooling but wishing for a chance. For him to be taller than me was a bonus but to actually have a chance would be life-changing for this life. Then maybe I'd be able to put Allan behind my back.

 Suddenly, he put his forehead near mine and whispered, "I promise you, Jill, when it happens, I'm going to ask you out." My heart began to beat furiously in my chest. It would be visible to him if I weren't controlling myself. 

 Scooting more near to him, I said full of faith, "I'll be right around the corner when it does," Then I walked away, trying to clear my thoughts of Jonas and his stupid promise.
