"After school, Nora and I skipped cross country again. We don't like going on Fridays. But a LOT of people didn't go: Jonah, Dan, Sally, Erin, Aaron, and others. Aaron's toenail fell off too! We're toe buddies! So anyway, Nora and I were hanging around in the workout room with Jonah, Evan and some soph/or junior, waiting for the volleyball game to start @ 4:00 vs. Convent. We were all experimenting with the different machines, it was fun. Talking to Jonah and Evan. Sean was hanging around for a little, too, getting mad @ me and Nora for not going to C.C. Well he skips Thursdays for electric violin lessons! LOL! Then, the greatest thing happened: Jonah's like, "Hey, do you guys wanna go down to Jamba Juice with me?" Nora and I are like, "Hell, yeah!" Well, of course we didn't say that but we said yeah. So, since I couldn't find my shoes, I wore some random person's cool dark blue J. Crew flip-flops. So me, Nora, and Jonah, just the three of us, set off to Laurel Village. We talked the whole way. So Nora and I are like, "So what's up with you and Nini? Are you guys still going out?" and he's all, "Kind of"- What!? Said me and Nora in unison. "Well, we never DO anything, like on the weekends or anything. So, technically we're just going out by title." Nora and I were internally rejoicing. Lol. But he was so nice and talkative. Nora and I were so proud to be walking in public with him and kept praying we'd see someone we knew. He shared his drink with Nora! How cute is that!!!! He offered some to me but I didn't want any. He has a fake driver's license too that looks really real. So that was really fun, oh, and he kept saying how much he hates Erin, so that's a good thing. When we got back, Erin was there on the steps, clearly JEALOUS of me and Nora, and kept asking if he talked about her. We're like, 'NO!' I think Evan was mad @ us for ditching him. The game was about to start, so we went upstairs to the gym-and- RYAN AND LAURA were there on the bleachers! Nora and I ran across the gym! Paul was with them too. We took Ryan on a mini tour. Ok, so then we got ready to watch the game. Nora went and sat down next to Jonah, and Ryan sat next to Nora. Normally, I would've sat down next to Ryan, but- I sat on the OTHER side of Jonah! Heehee, I was confident. Then, Paul scooted down a bleacher. So he was next temp. So I was smooshed RIGHT in between Jonah and Paul!! HEAVEN! I twas NOT awkward at all! Whenever Michelle Tandler hit the ball, Jonah and I would turn to each other in amazement, saying 'incredible!'
