Eggs,
   This one should be either really long, or lots of parts.  I guess to understand now, you have to understand the past.  Let's start at the beginning.  The first day of seventh grade, August 18, 2015.  The day was slow, I got lost and fell down a lot.  Science class came and suddenly everything changed.  I had been very timid that morning, you see (yes, see and not understand this time!).  I hadn't known anyone in my classes.  Lollipop and M&M walks in and suddenly it was okay.  Then there was you.  I had kind of seen you off and on all morning.  There are two things that I seem to remember very clearly.  One, whatever you were wearing was purple.  I'm not sure why I remember that, but I do.  Two, I remember you taking my book that I was reading and telling me that I was antisocial.  Which led into Shila Buff.  That kind of made science class what got me through the morning.  Yes, choir was great, but it wasn't the same.  Soon enough there were small interactions.  Honestly, I didn't know your name for the longest time.  I think you should know that it wasn't a gossip session with my friends.  It was subtle smiles and they asked.  I said I didn't know.  I highly doubt (and hope) that you will never read this book because the things I will say about this is not limited.  October was when I realized that I liked you; or at least that my heart rate sped up and I temporarily couldn't breathe whenever I saw you.  October is when I realized that maybe, just maybe, there was hope for me.  I remember meeting Horse November 2, and the first thing we talked about was guys.  I didn't even have to tell her.  She could just tell.  Could you?  Soon enough, Dead Tree found out and that's when I started worrying. Lizard, Horse, Mouse and I all went dress shopping together on the 10th.  Then they thought something was up.  So, November 12, Horse and Dead Tree asked for your number for me.  I actually didn't know what they were doing.  Dead Tree said 'give me your phone'.  I hid in the stairwell confused.  I remember being so mad at them for doing that, because I had wanted to but couldn't bring myself to.  Then we were talking, everything was fine.  And then I tried to explain things to Dead Tree.  But I accidentally sent it to you.  Then on Monday (the 16), we had the dreaded conversation by the library.  That I understood.  Not knowing how you feel is fine.  But then, literally 3 days later, you ask to "hang out" at the dance.  That quickly changed the game.  Soon enough there was a plan devised between the girls and I to have the perfect night.  Lollipop, Dead Tree, Horse, Lizard and I all got ready at my house.  The point was that we all had something to help each other.  Lollipop was calm and confident.  Dead Tree was straightforward and honest.  Horse was supportive and loyal.  Lizard could make anyone into a princess for the night.  So that's exactly what we did.  Later on, we never really "hung out".  It was more the occasional stop-and-try-not-to-fall-down game.  As you can imagine, it did not succeed.  But then, the next day you had asked if I had wanted to meet up and hang out sometime.  Obviously, I texted Korn, Horse, Lizard, and Dead Tree.  Soon after, I replied.  Not that it mattered anyhow.  Then it was kind of a questioning stage for a while.  Then December came.  December will require its own chapter.  -Brianna Michelle
