Thirteen
DECEMBER-16 YEARS OLD
School started and again I’m trying to avoid James. I think he knows it though, because when I do see him he looks annoyed with me.
I open my locker quickly and a piece of paper falls to the ground. I don’t know how, maybe it was just hope, but I knew it was from him.
Kelly,
I wonder sometimes, why the sun shines so bright on school days, but it rains most weekends. Just a thought.
James
Did he mean to give this to me? I look back at the note. It’s addressed to me. I smiled a little. Clever. When I first started reading it I thought it would be poetic like, “I wonder why the sun shines only when you are around.” No, that’s not James’ style. Then, when I finished reading it, I thought it had to be given to the wrong person. Look again, nope, it’s for me
