"But it's my life you're playing with!"

"You just need a little help, that's all."

'A little help? I can't even kiss a girl!"

I'm losing it. I don't want to lose it. Maybe in front of Lonnie, but not in front of her.

"You may think you're beyond help, but everyone else thinks differently. Samantha Spinner invited you to her party this weekend, remember? That's something."

"I don't care."

"You're hot now."

'Aren't you listening? I said, I don't care." I hate the tone I'm using with her, but I'm basically at my wit's end. I peer at her to see how out-of-line I am. She doesn't look angry. She looks concerned.

She touches my hair. I wish she'd stop touching me. It only makes things worse.

"Please give it more time. A few weeks? Please, Reed?"

"Okay," I mutter in defeat.

Has Ronnie ever noticed she can make me do anything she wants?

. . .

I've always liked Ronnie. A lot. A whole lot.

But that doesn't mean I ever expected anything.

She kept getting prettier and prettier, more and more popular, more and more desirable, more and more out of my league.

She's always hugged me, touched me, kissed my cheek, played with my hair. I knew she meant nothing by it. I was probably like another brother to her.

I had resigned myself to the fact that I'd never get her in a million years. I had accepted it.

Until now.

The fact of the matter is, she's the girlfriend I want at the end of this dumb Girlfriend Project.

It's no contest.

I would never have allowed myself to think this before all of this started. But now I can't help it.

I can't stop thinking that maybe I have a chance with her now.

Maybe.

On the other hand, she has a serious boyfriend. She's always had serious boyfriends.

I suppose I could get into other girls. I would've liked kissing Rhonda Wharton. I liked Marsha Peterman for years. I thought Janet and Sarah were both cute.

But Ronnie's the one I really want.

Ronnie's the one who's always been my friend; the one who sent me Valentines, the one who saw beyond my glasses and braces and dorkiness, the one who saved me from drowning.

Literally. And in general.
