Okay, I made Sara a heart-shaped cookie. I’m not sure why. I mean, I know she has a thing for Springsteed. I know that. And I’m not trying to keep them apart. I’m really not.

Actually, it’s cute that she likes him so much. I hate admitting that—big time. But it’s true. She’s always giving him these love-y looks—like her world wouldn’t be complete without him. It’s cute. Especially because she’s never even kissed him—ever—she just seems to enjoy breathing the same air as him or something.

But then, yesterday at the skating rink I saw that Nina chick with her arm around Springsteed, and it had Sara frowning. And it was sad. Made my heart kind of drop and get all twisted. I’m not exactly sure why she’s able to do that to me—get my heart pounding so hard. And making me care so much. Too much for my comfort. I mean, what exactly is happening to me? Getting all soft for a church girl that blushes if I just look at her. (Okay, it’s adorable. Man, it really is.)

But it’s crazy. Crazy to care so much about her, since yeah, she’s totally, completely into Springsteed. So she can’t be mine. Which bites, because man, I’d like to get to know her better. And okay, kiss her. Definitely. Actually, lately that’s my biggest dream—like my top fantasy of all time—kissing Sara Taylor. Her sweet lips letting mine press against hers. The thought gives me excited shivers. But then, so does the thought of just holding her hand.

See, I’m really going soft for her. In a huge, kooky way. And I know I shouldn’t come on so strong—I know that—but I really can’t help myself sometimes. I mean, there are just some girls I like to get a reaction from. I crave it. And it doesn’t really matter if they have a boyfriend—because I’m not trying to become their boyfriend. I just want to be around them. And make them smile.

But it’s different with Sara. She’s so cute and shy. Only … well, she’s not really shy. Not really. I mean, I watch her sometimes. She’s not shy at all around her friends. Or Springsteed. And actually, she’s not exactly shy around me. She’s pretty spunky, actually. And funny. It’s just that blush. Mmm. It gets to me. Makes me want to do whatever she wants. And when I was being her fake boyfriend—I was in heaven.

Anyway, whatever. I shouldn’t think about that stuff. Because she’s into Springsteed, and she’ll get him … or Springsteed is the biggest idiot on the planet. But she wants him—so I’ll help her get him.

But as I was saying, for whatever reason, I really can’t take seeing Sara frown. It gets to me. Big time. Usually she doesn’t frown, though. Ever. She’s a really happy person, always smiling her cute little smile with her eyes twinkling like her life is all full of hearts and flowers.

So yesterday, seeing her look all hurt and sad while
