Finally im gonna get the hell out of this place. There has been too much drama and im just ready to get out. I've been avoiding Sam and colby all year the best i could. I feel lonely because i have no friends. Jake is literally my only friend but he cant be constantly coming up here. Also i really want to bring him to prom or homecoming. But that would be weird considering we are about to be step siblings. Yes you heard me right, step siblings. Our parents met during the summer and hit it off really good and now i cant actually date him. Plus i think that would've been a disaster.

It's homecoming week, basketball season, and i had asked Jake if he could come up and he did. We had a blast. Word got around that i brought a boy from another town to homecoming and soon that got to Colby.

After the dance, we decided to go to McDonald's and grab some food. We sat outside because it was a very beautiful night. But i really couldn't enjoy it cuz i had Colby on my mind the time. Ugh why can't i stop thinking about him? Jake pulled me out of my thoughts and asked what was wrong and i told him everything. Then the words he said caught me off guard, "you like him". What? I don't like Colby, do i? Oh my god i don't know anymore. We headed back to my brothers house and went to bed.

A couple months later, it's spring break. Zak, Reggie, Jake and i all decided to meet up and stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We were always swimming. One day, i decided to go down to the sweet shop on the ground floor and get something sweet to eat. I heard my name being said and i ignored it but they kept saying my name. Before i walked in, i looked around and colby was right there. He was smiling and in his swim trunks, shirtless. Damn he looks hot, nope i don't like him. I greeted him and he stood in line with me quietly. Once i paid and grabbed my food, we left. We sat at one of the benches overlooking the water park on the second floor. We talked about life and just my luck Jake texted me while Colby was talking. I told jake i was in the lobby and i was fine. Colby asked who texted and i hesitated but told him it was jake. He looked away clenching his jaw. I grabbed his hand and told him to listen to me, and he did. I told him everything. He calmed down and was happy again.

I apologized to him for keeping it a secret and i scooted closer to him. He put his arm around me and we cuddled. I miss these moments so bad. I mumbled "i love you" and that caught him off guard and he asked what i said. I said it again and he smiled. We hugged and he kissed me. We were walking back to my room and i asked why he was here, him and some guys from school were staying there the whole week. We got to my room and turns out he's right across the hall. We kissed again and made plans to met up for breakfast. I unlocked the door and kinda waved at him and walked in the room. I couldn't help but smile. Jake saw me and asked who it was. I said it was nobody. He didn't believe me. I climbed on the bed and Zak walked in and saw my shirt was wet. He also asked who i was with. Now all 3 of them were going insane asking who i was with. I finally broke and told them. They got so excited because we finally made up.

I met Colby the next morning for breakfast and we just hung out the whole day. This is what i missed so bad. His company. We decided to go to the gift shop and he excused himself real quick. I found a skittle dispenser machine and got a container full of Skittles. He soon came back with a container and i didn't ask about it. We got matching sunglasses, jewelry, we were those people lol. He paid for it all and we left. We went to his room and chilled out for a bit. I was laying on the bed while he was sitting crisscross applesauce. I layed my head on his leg. Then he grabbed the box and gave it to me. I sat up and opened it. It was a very decorated doughnut. Flowers, sprinkles, chocolate, everything. It had a white chocolate sign that said 'Prom?' On it. I smiled and started crying. I said yes and we hugged. We were still hugging when his door opened and we heard all kinds of responses to us. We pulled away and Colby was trying to explain what was going on and they just kept going crazy. They were so annoying. We grabbed our stuff and left. We walked to my room instead. We sat down on the couch and cuddled. We ate cookies from last night, talked, oh and made out, a lot.

The next few months of school were ok. We were still friends but we went on dates. We weren't dating officially. Zak took me prom dress shopping and we found the perfect dress. He said it matched Colby's suit very well. Prom night came around and i did my hair and makeup and zak had to help me put the dress on. He's such a great brother. Our mom passed away when i was 12 from cancer. So zak just kinda started taking care of me since then because our dad is a major lowlife. Anyways, Colby picked me up, we took pictures and Zak drove us to the school. We had a great night together. So much fun. I'm glad i got to enjoy my senior prom with my best friend.

Now its graduation. Jake's family came up and we had a huge but great graduation. Sam, Colby and i mixed our parties together. Yes Sam and i are on good terms again. We all had a blast. Highschool was a major rollercoaster and now we are getting on a more intense ride called life.
