Ugghhh, Molly and I got detention for talking in class today. The teacher warned us to be quiet but we kept it up. We got a second warning so Molly wrote it down and passed it to me. That's when we got it. The thing is that Molly was telling me something about Josh and Jennifer that happened last year that I didn't know about. I wanted to hear the whole story and then the bell rang and class began and I kept pressing Molly for info. Anyway, because of it, we're both going to be sitting in detention on Monday. My parents are going to flip. I've never had detention before. I'm sure Aunt Lu won't be too happy either. :(

Molly told me, or rather, confessed to me the whole story at lunch. Apparently last year Josh hadn't asked anyone to the prom. We're not sure why he waited so long. Anyway, Molly saw him talking to me and assumed that he was going to ask me. At the time she didn't really know me but she hated Jennifer and decided to antagonize Jennifer. She cornered Jen in the bathroom and told her that it was rumored that Josh was going to ask Jen to the prom, but it looked like Josh was going to change his mind and ask me instead. I guess that's what got Jen into a tizzy and made her tell me to stay away from him. Molly was really upset about it and was apologizing. I'm not really mad at her. She didn't know me at the time and she wasn't trying to do anything to me. I'm just glad she told me because now I understand what made Jennifer so possessive of Josh back then.

Alex has moved back to our lunch table now that he and Becky are over. It's nice to have him around and I know Molly likes having him there, but we can no longer talk about him so the conversation has turned to them bugging me about Josh. Alex says I should just tell Josh how I feel. Molly says I should stop pretending that I don't know how to drive. Alex, of course agrees with her.

I totally see where they're coming from, but I don't want to lose any opportunity I can get to be near him. When I get my license I'll no longer be able to snag a ride from him, or get him to take me out to practice. Right now it's perfect. When we're in the car it's just the two of us and that's what I want. Call me crazy, I don't care. It's working. Josh picked me up at school today and drove me to work and he's taking me out to the party store on Sunday afternoon.
