"Okay Annie, here's the deal. I kind of let it slip the other day that one of my girls in the section liked Richard...to the devil himself." Olivia said to me during the first quarter up in the stands.

"You WHAT?!" I screeched.

"Oh he doesn't know it's you. He just knows that one of you does. He keeps bugging me about it!" She said.

I took a bite of my apple, feeling my face burn. Mina slid down and sat next to me.

"So...since he's bugging me so much, can I tell him? I promised I'd ask you, and now that I've asked..." She trailed off.

"Is he single?" I asked, swallowing my bite of apple. Mina giggled.

"Yes, though I'm not exactly sure if he's looking."

I gave it a few minutes silent thought.

"Okay."

We went down onto the field and did our halftime show. I didn't screw up either, but he was watching me from the side lines, and all I did was look at him.

The 4th quarter rolled around and we were kicking some major ass, the football team that is.

"So when are you gonna tell him?" I asked excitedly. I was actually looking foreward to him finding out.

"Listen little girly," Olivia said. "I don't have to tell him. I never have to tell him." I stared at her blankly with a pinch of hurt. She smiled.

"I told him right before half time." She said.

My dad has a picture of Richard. He took a picture of him at the football game for me. He's so wonderful....

He's all I can think about, and it's terrible. I want to be with him, and I really couldn't tell you why. He's a senior, is it totally useless to want to be with him? Would he ever want to be with me? I'm a sophmore. I'm at the bottom of this food chain called high school.

Then again, I am in band, and serious about it. Yet, through all that, I manage to have fun with it. Okay I'm giving myself too much credit.

~Sigh~ Useless Annie...it's useless.

Olivia is taking me to a party next week after the football game. I get to spend time with Richard...

DAMMIT! How can you get someone out of your head?
