Chapter 2.

Dear Diary,
The moment we have been waiting for finally arrived. Jonathan has realised that I’m the only girl for him. I can’t wait for tomorrow, till we show the whole school how we feel about each other.
Our day has finally come!
- Kate.

As I arrived to school the next morning I couldn’t help but smile. This infection could not be wiped from my face. I walked into class and saw him there. A spare seat next to him. Jonathan saw me enter and rose from his chair; he stood behind the one next to him and gently pulled it from under the desk. I sat, and blushed. I could feel the whole class looking at me. All the girls wishing they were me. I was finally that girl. After all these years of being invisible, of sitting by myself, I have finally been blessed with what I have always wanted. Him.

I decided I was not going to let a boy come in between me and being valedictorian. I continued to pay immense attention in class, as usual. I blocked out all the sounds except for Mrs. Brokenshire’s voice. Biology is my favourite subject. I would often stay in the classroom at lunch and eat with Mrs. Brokenshire, but I won’t have to anymore, now that I belong. As class began to come to an end, my heart rate began to rapidly increase. Our Biology class knew, now it was time to let the whole school know about our love. The bell rang, and before I had time to pack up my books, he was there, packing them for me. I looked up at him and he smiled, then I melted into my chair, lost in his eyes once more. Once he was done with my books he pulled my chair out and lifted me from my seat. As we left the room he carried my books. We walked towards my locker, where we stopped; I turned the knob and entered my code. I put my things in my locker and then we began to walk to the courtyard. As we neared the doors he took my hand. When we entered the courtyard I felt everyone’s eyes on us. It is an unexpected relationship – but not impossible. We walked over to wear all his friends sat. They welcomed me, smiling so widely. I knew I belonged.

As the lunch came to an end he walked me to my next class, how I have always imagined he would. He gently pecked me on the cheek. This moment could not get any better. He was what I wanted, what I needed. He made my life worthwhile.
