So figuring out how to convince Alex to take Molly out the night of her party has been tough. Josh and I were on the phone last night for an hour throwing ideas around. We know that Alex would love to take Molly out, but we also know that he's too chicken to ask her. We decided that the direct approach is probably best.

I told Alex to meet me at the office to give me a ride home from work today. Josh just "happened to stop by to see his mom." We kind of pushed the idea on Alex, but it's all set. Alex is going to take Molly to dinner before the party. He's not going to ask her until next week though. I think she'd be suspicious if he brought it up now. I think he's a little suspicious too. Josh and I were pretty persistent. Poor Alex...he doesn't think Molly will even say yes! Josh and I were trying not to laugh when he said that.

Lauren is steaming mad. Apparently this guy, Greg, wrote "Lauren Loves Brett" all over her notebook and Brett saw it. Brett, by the way, is a senior and a lot of girls think he's cute. Lauren was mortified. She came into her mom's office this afternoon and was telling me about it. She has plans for Greg. She seriously wants to get him back.

Josh just called me a few minutes ago. We were supposed to go out for a drive tonight but he had some family emergency. :( We're going to do it tomorrow after school instead. It kind of works out better because Aunt Lu gets nervous about me driving in the dark - and I don't have to walk home from school. I just hope whatever is going on isn't too much of an emergency. I noticed that Mrs. Anderson looked really stressed today.
