....But there was nothing I could do. I was..lets say..desperate and obsessed.

But mainy desperate. I always go through these sponatneous periods of lonliness when I'll just sit alone, read depressing old books, and look for potential friends. So I observed Jack.

I was actually kind of proud of myself for stepping outside of my comfort zone. I mean, I was actually considering being friends with Jack Keller! Exciting, outgoing, social-butterfly, Jack Keller! But the only reason I pursued this friendship was because, after he performed in the musical last year, he stopped talking to Mitchell and Zakariah and Alllison and all of them, and closed up alot more.

Plus, he was really naturally beautiful, and I know it sounds really cliche but he was also on the football team. But he wasn't the typical "all-star qurterback", he was the middle linebacker.

SO yeah, he wasn't my typical potential friend material, but I had reached my limit of the number of how many times a month I could read "Flowers for Algernon" and "My Sisters Keeper".
