3 Chapter 3: Aftermath

After the dance, I decided that I would wright a little in you, diary, about my crush at the dance. Now when I say "at the dance" I mean how he was dressed up, how he behaved, and possibly even what he said to me. But first a little recap on our friendship.

We first met when I was 7. He was going to a drawing competition, his life goal is to me a nationally recognized artist, and I was in the front row next to him in the audience. When they came around to give out the prizes to the winners at the end he got the prize for first place. With a brilliant smile on his face, he turned around to search for his mom. But instead our eyes met. He asked me if I saw his mom around and I asked what she looked like. He said she had short brown hair, a pearl necklace, and was in a green sweater and jeans. I looked around the crowned for his mom but wasn't able to find her. When I turned around I shook my head no, I didn't see her. So we walked outside since my parents where the judges for the competition and I had to wait for them. We sat under the tree and he pulled out a sketchbook to draw in. As he searched for a blank page, I got to see some of his pictures. No wonder he got first place! He was amazing!

I found out a little later that we went to the same school and where the same age. So we decided to meet up at recess to hang out a little. After that his mom came and got him and my parents came and got me. The next day we met up at recess and continued to do so until we where 11, when we where put into different classes. Then we gradually started to drift apart, no longer best friends but still close enough to say "oh ya i know him" or " oh her? ya i used to know her". He never found out how much I liked him and I will probably never tell him.

So now, at the dance, he was dressed up as a skeleton and was almost perfect at playing one too. It could have been better if he didn't eat so much but still pretty good. He came over to me and my friends once, during the slow song, but then didn't say a word to us after that. He was friendly to everybody, hence the fact why he is considered popular, including the grouchy chaperones. Witch is also why I like him. He always has a smile on his face. But I have to go to bed now. Mom is taking me to go shopping at 12:00 tomorrow!! In my opinion that's too early for anything. Well, good night Diary!
