This is my first piece and I'm going to try to write more every night. Let me know what you think!

I was writing my latest English piece. It was supposed to be a story about anything fictional, basically a day off on homework. My best writing

pieces usually came when I was writing with whatever I was feeling. There was that story I posted online when I felt like I was in love with Declan

and then there was the piece I wrote to my parents. Now I wasn't sure what to write about. In truth I wanted to write about what was going on

with Eli and me, but I knew that he would have to read it before I turned it in.

Sure I could change the names or make the story more 'in general'. Either way I figured he would understand what I was writing about. Somehow

he always seems to get what I'm trying to say. At the same time I wondered if it was really practical having a crush on him. Yes, every once in

while we would have these moments where we both share a glance and I can see he really does care about me even if it is hard for him to show

it. We can laugh together and talk like we've been friends since third grade. He teases me constantly but I don't know if that's just us being great

friends or more.

After I realized I'd started getting too distracted and I barely had an hour to write my paper, I decided to try a different route. There was one

thing that was gnawing on me telling me to do something and I was too shy to actually do anything about it. It took about forty-five minutes to

have it finished completely, so the paper was pretty good. I ended up writing about Jenna. Obviously I didn't use her name. But she took my

boyfriend and my best friend. It's not that I still like K.C. She just easily makes all the things I have in my life, better in hers. And she started that

rumor about me. The worst was how she pretended to be my friend and never once apologized sincerely for what she's done.

I finished it and emailed it to Eli adding that he should just tell me tomorrow what he thinks since I won't have time to check my email. When I

went to bed the last thing I thought before I went to sleep was that Eli was so different than K.C.
