I’m not as happy as you’d think about February Vacation. I mean, it’s a good break and all, but not if you have no one to text.

I woke up this morning to the nice surprise that is was Sunday, the last day of Vacation. I couldn’t wait to just get out of this class and head back to school. As crazy as it sounds, it was true.

So today was the first day back, and it went great. No, perfect. It started out with Rae hugging me.

Later on at lunch, Emma talked to me. She told me she was sorry, and she thinks we should be friends again. I hesitantly agreed. We hugged to make up.

But I don’t think I’ll be friends with Courtney anytime soon. She tries so hard to not look at me at lunch, even though we sit at the same table.

The only reason this happens is because I have nowhere else to sit. Trust me, if I had other friends, I would go to them. Even Megan sits at our table, and she always complains how she hates Courtney.

I think she’s just kidding around, though. Even when Courtney and I were still friends, she favored Megan more than me.

I never understood that, because I’m always there for all of my friends, including her. Courtney always tried to get Megan to like her better, since the beginning of eighth grade.

Anyway, back to my perfect day.

I got my algebra test back, and I aced it. This was my first A in algebra all year long. I was so excited.

After school, I saw Alex unlocking his bike off of the rack. He looked so cute with the snow under his feet, so concentrated on the rusty hook. I wanted to go over to him, but that clearly wasn’t an option.

Ugh, why do I have to like him so much? Help me.
