Homecoming is over, and there is to be no more school spirit so intense to be seen for another year. When I think about it, actually look on it and see all those whose last homecoming this is, it really kinda breaks my heart. Olivia, Richard, Valerie, Austin, Garret, Linton...they're seniors, and it was their last homecoming. It's the begining of the end for them.

Dinner was fun. Along with my stir-fry, I recieved a Jones soda, ever so aptly named. Inside of the cap was a fortune which read "You will have a pleasant surprise soon". I like pleasant surprises. ^_^*

I feel so guilty, making Linton go with me, someone he doesn't even like. Sure, he put his arms around me when a slow song would come on.

The last slow song came on, and I looked up at him and he smiled at me. He curled his finger to pull me closer. His arms fit around my waist, my arms on his shoulders. Throwing caution to the wind, I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes. I could feel his head rest on mine.

I can see myself with a future for the first time in my life. I can see myself with a job, children, a house...I can actually see it in my mind's eye. Before this year, it was just a bunch of jumbled information. No pictures. My future involves Linton. I want him to be in it.

His clique can think I'm a bitch. My group can think I'm crazy. I know my group has it right. I'm absolutely mad for this guy. He's all I ever think about anymore. And I know I am crazy for even considering staying here and not exchanging if he didn't want me to go. I would stay here, missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime, just so I could be with him.

As Fuka so kindly puts it: "Damn girl, you got it, and you got it bad."
