I got a B- on my geometry test. So much for Yale or Princeton. Actually, I'm relieved. I thought I was going to fail the test so a B- is much better.

I ran into Josh as I was leaving school today. He said that he and some friends were going to go out to dinner before choir practice tonight and asked if I wanted to join them. I can't begin to describe how painful it was to say no. If Jennifer were in my position she'd be bummed out because she was missing an opportunity to hang out with a senior who is Mr. Popularity. But me...well, I'm bummed out because he's not only adorable but also the sweetest, funniest, most talented guy in school. I don't care that he's older and popular. I don't care that he's cute. I just think he has the most incredible way about him and it kills me that I can't be his friend.

Alex told me again that I shouldn't let Jennifer dictate my friendships. I wonder if it's really obvious how disappointed I am that I have to keep my distance from Josh. I mean, is it written all over my face? What does he think when he sees me? I say hi and then brush him off. It's so not cool, especially since he's such a great guy. It breaks my heart to have to walk away from him.

Alex says that if Josh were in my position he would tell Jennifer to take a hike. I know Alex is right. Josh sort of is in my position. Molly hates Jennifer, but Josh told her to butt out and agreed to go to the prom with Jen anyway. Maybe Josh has more character than me. Or maybe Josh has better footing here than I do. I don't know...I just know that I wish I were going to dinner with him tonight.

Okay, no more pity party. I don't want to go to choir practice feeling sad. There is good news...Natalie convinced her parents to let her visit me! Yea!!!! She's flying up here on my last day of school. I'm so excited! I'll finally get to have some fun here in Pennsylvania!

Well, I should finish up my geometry homework before dinner so that I don't have to worry about it after choir practice...
