But I'm REALLY busy right now. Can I IGNORE you some other time?!
But /just said it inside my head, so no one else heard it but me.
And if all of that isn't enough TORTURE, the annual WCD Halloween dance is in three weeks!
the biggest event of the fall, and everyone is. already gossiping about who's going with who.

And today I had a sneaking suspicion Brandon was going to "pop the question" about the Halloween dance.

The school day seemed to drag on FOREVER.

Which might actually be true. But STILL!

By the time I got to biology class, I was a nervous

Suddenly a very troubling question popped into my head and I started to panic: What if Brandon

I do NOT appreciate that girl BLABBING about my personal business.

This morning she was even more vicious than usual.

only thought of me as a lab partner and nothing.

more?

That's when decided to try to impress him with my charm, wit, and intelligence.

Mackenzie and I do NOT get along. I'm guessing it's probably due to the fact that she
