I’m crazy. I must be. Linton is now going to homecoming with me and on top of that, he took me home after homecoming activity night. I’m still shaking, and he dropped me off about 45 minutes ago.

These girls were in the car…one of which I can’t get along with, and they were smoking. Linton wasn’t smoking, thank god. I’m not sure what I would have done if he had lit up. Everyone was dropped off after we went cruising around downtown with the radio blasting. First Katie, then Sarah, then Crystal until it was just him an I sitting in his truck.

“I’m going to ask you something I don’t really even have the balls to ask, but I’m going to anyway.” I said. “Are you going to homecoming with me because you like me or because you can say you went with someone?”

I think he said because I asked and he thought about it and he wanted to go with me. He never said he liked me. I don’t think he likes me…. I yearn for the affection I give him.

“When me, Mina, and Brittany, were walking to my car, Linton was kinda near us and we're like ‘hey Linton, Annie’s looking for you," and he got like this big smile on his face.” Valerie said.

Why…why? I want him to like me!
