**Beep, Beep, Beep** I freaking hear you alarm. I got up and turned my alarm off, today is the first day of school and I am not really looking forward to it. I got dressed and then went into the kitchen to make myself some grits and toast with butter. Once I ate I went and brushed my teeth and then got my bag ready. I told my dad bye and headed to the bus stop which happens to be the stop sign where I can see Brooks's house from. While I was standing there I saw him walk outside with his younger brother. I smiled when he waved at me and I waved back. As he was turning to go back inside he blew me a kiss and it made my morning. When the bus pulled up I got on and found a seat. I took out my schedule and looked over what my first 2 classes were. When we pulled up to the school I followed everyone into the gym and waited until they released us to our classes. I had to ask a teacher where my first class was. I was right about this place. All the kids seem stuck up and no one has even sai

**Beep, Beep, Beep** I got up and got dressed and ready for school. After I ate and brushed my teeth and I headed to the bus stop and there he was again walking his brother out and he waved just like yesterday. I blushed and waved back. As I was sitting down in a seat his brother walked past me and told me Brooks liked me. He took the seat behind me and I asked what he meant by that and he told me Brooks never walked him outside for the bus before until after he met me so he had to like me for him to do that. I laughed and said I doubted he liked me. His brother said, "by the way my name is Jonah." I said my name is Crystal. He said, "I know." I asked how he knew my name and he said," this is probably going to sound weird and I may end up getting beat by my brother for telling you this but my room is next to the bathroom and I can hear him while he is in the shower saying your name and sometimes if I am walking through the hallway I can hear him say it while he is in his room."

School was going to go by so slowly today and I am already dreading getting off the bus and seeing Brooks if he is out there. I didn't even bother to look back this morning to see if he walked Jonah out. I'm scared he is going to say something I am not going to want to hear and I'll end up with my feelings hurt. Finally, lunchtime and I sat by myself again today I didn't want to talk to anyone or be the main joke of the table. When I finished my lunch I took my tray to the window and sat back down waiting on the bell to ring. Once lunch was over I headed back to class and went ahead and put up what I didn't need out anymore and waited on this period to end. I was finally in my last period and I was getting more nervous as the school day was coming to an end. When I finished my assignment I sat there for the rest of the class period mentally kicking myself for writing that letter and giving it to him. My nerves were worse right now than they were on my first day here. The release bell

*** Beep Beep Beep *** Ugh, I don't want to get out of bed. Thankfully today is Friday and I can sleep in tomorrow. I got up and got ready for school. When I got to the bus stop I looked down the road and saw Jonah walking toward me. I looked around but didn't see Brooks. Jonah came up to me and said, "he stood by the door this morning." I said why did he stand by the door? He said, "I don't know. He was up most of the night talking to himself again but I couldn't make out any of what he was saying this time." I said well I hope whatever is going on with him, he is ok. Jonah shrubbed his shoulders and said, "he is just weird." we got on the bus and when I got to school I sat with Kinzlee and waited on the bell to ring. Kinzlee asked what was wrong with me because I was being quiet and I said nothing. She looked at me and said, "Crystal, something is wrong. You haven't really said anything since you got here." I sighed and said I wrote Brooks a letter and told him how I felt

Brooks and I lay there for about 30 minutes just staring at each other and smiling. I sat up and said just curious but where is Jonah? Every time I come up here and I come inside, your mom and Jonah aren't here. He sat up and told me that his mom was at work and Jonah goes with his dad for a few hours after school. I asked if he had a good relationship with his dad and he told me that he and Jonah have different dads. He told me that his dad died when he was little and he didn't really know him and that Jonah's dad was a decent stepdad while he was married to his mom. I told Brooks I was sorry about his dad and he told me it was ok and explained that his dad suffered from depression and it got the better of him and he took his own life. I told Brooks that I know what it is like because I suffer from it and he pulled me into him and told me he would always be here for me. I nestled my face into his chest and closed my eyes taking in his scent. After a few minutes, I pulled away and sai

My first 2 months of school have been ok I am glad we will be hitting fall break next week. I can't wait until I can sleep in and just be lazy for a week. I am finishing up my test in my last period so I can sit back until school is out. When the bell rang to load the buses I headed to my bus and took my seat. Jonah didn't get on today which I found weird since he has ridden every day and he was on this morning. I thought about going up to his house and checking on him to make sure he wasn't sick or something. When I got off the bus I saw Brooks getting out of his SUV and I walked down the road toward him and said hey is Jonah ok? He didn't ride the bus this afternoon and I just wanted to check on him. Brooks turned to face me and snapped at me and asked why I cared if Jonah is ok and asked why I have been talking to his brother so much. I looked at him and said excuse me but I am his friend and I wanted to make sure he was ok sorry for having a heart and caring. I turned around and s

Finally, it's the last day before break, and I and can't wait. My butt is going to be lazy and sleep in. I am headed into my second to last period to take my test and then sit and do nothing until the end of the school day since I took my test for last period last week. When the bell rang I headed into the hallway and saw Kinzlee. She waved at me and motioned for me to come over to her and I did. She told me she was throwing a little party Friday and invited me. I told her I didn't think I'd be able to come and she said to call her if I could and she gave me her phone number. I headed into my next class and ad sat there writing in my journal until school was over. When I got off the bus I didn't see Brooks's SUV. when I got home my dad was already home which wasn't normal. I walked in and asked if he was ok and he laughed and said he was, then asked me why I asked. I told him it wasn't like him to come home early unless he wasn't feeling good. He told me he came home early to pack. I

I called my dad and asked if he was ok and he told me he was fine. He said he was almost to the Florida state line. I told him to call me when he got there. When I hung up, I went to my room and finished cleaning it. I waited until my dad called and let me know he made it into Flordia and then I called Brooks and told him my dad was in Flordia. He said he was getting some clothes and then he would meet me at the backdoor. When we hung up, I started to freak out a little inside. I went and put my clothes in the dryer and started another load. I figured if I had laundry to put away it would keep me busy for a little while so I wouldn't be just sitting there. As I was coming out of the laundry room there was a knock at the backdoor and I froze for a moment. My heart started pounding and felt like it was going to come out of my chest. I walked to the door and opened it. He smiled at me and said he was excited to spend some alone time with me. I gave him a half-smile and said I was too. He
