Boys can wait
Remember the boy I thought I loved? Well, we had the same English class together. But my English teacher decided to develop another class for gifted students and she told me she wanted to put me in it during the next trimester. My first reaction was devastation. I wasn’t going to have class with my locker buddy boo thang anymore! Tragic. But even as a seventh grader, I wrote “It will probably be better for me, so I won’t get distracted and think that I shouldn’t do things because I think he’s watching me.”
