Chapter One ~ the Journal

Elizabeth Banks lived in Los Angeles, California. She went to Eastside High School. Her crush, Jason Kane, graduated from there last year and was now in college at the University of Michigan. It was odd that he ended up there because it was so far away, but he was an exceptionally good student, so it'd make sense for him to go to a good school. But because he was on break, he came back to visit his old high school.

When Elizabeth, who was a blue-eyed, skinny, tan, blonde hair, 5 foot 9 inch, cute girl was walking down the school hallway, she dropped her journal. This journal had all of her private secrets in it. She didn't know at the time that it was missing. And who should pick it up, but her crush, Jason Kane. Jason was a tallish 6ft 0 inch guy with golden-like, sandy, blonde hair with chocolate brown eyes. He had a tan and was well muscled, especially in his arms and chest, because he worked out every day.

He opened it to find out who's it belonged to and found that it was Elizabeth Banks, the girl who he had for the longest time a crush on! Out of curiosity, he started to flip through it until he came to a part called, "May 1st, my dream crush!" With a vague interest to know more, Jason began to read the entry. When he finished he felt like he had been shot by Cupid's arrow!

"Wow! I've never thought about how cute she is until now! I wonder where she is," thought Jason. "I think she has a crush on me!"

The bell then rang for the next class of the day. It was English for Elizabeth or at least according to one of her friends Jason had talked to. He planned to ask her who she liked by getting her out of English.

But then he thought, "What if I'm not the right one she's in love with? Then she'll get suspicious for me asking and look for her journal. She won't find it and she'll think I took it. But then again, she could answer me! It could be me; I hope it is!"

When the bell rang, Elizabeth was digging in her book bag trying to find a pen. After she found one, she put it on her desk to take out the binder and textbooks, but while doing so, she accidentally knocked her pen off her desk and it landed right in front of Jason's foot!

"OMG!" she thought. "Now I've done it!"

"Is this your pen? I thought I saw it fall off your desk," Jason spoke with a cool tone.

"Ummmm….yeah it is. Thanks for getting it for me," Elizabeth stammered.

She started to blush like crazy and felt like crawling into a hole. The teacher then told them to quiet down so that class could begin.

Jason, then, talked to the teacher to get Elizabeth out of class because he used to be the teacher's favorite student, so he could get anything from her.

Jason asked, "Who do you like that is or was at this school?"

Elizabeth asked shocked, "Why do you want to know?"

"Because one of my friends told me that you had a crush on some guy that was in your grade or older now. I forget which," Jason replied blushing.

"Oh okay, but do YOU like anyone?" Elizabeth asked worriedly.

"Yes," Jason said avoiding her gaze.

"Who is it?" Elizabeth asked sweetly with a pleading look in her eyes.

"I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you'll get embarrassed!" he said back.

"I'll try not to, okay? And if you tell me who you like, I'll tell you who I like. Do we have a deal?" inquired Elizabeth.

"Yes and ummmm…. I kinda sorta…. like you!" Jason said excitedly.

"Wow, you do? Well….um…. I like you too! Sorry if that embarrassed you," Elizabeth explained shyly.

"You're most definitely not, why would it?! And wow, I didn't expect that!" he said somewhat sarcastically. "Well, before you get back to class, are you doing anything Friday night?"

"No, I'm not doing anything then. Why do you ask, stalker?" Elizabeth snapped sharply.

"Well, not being a stalker, I was wondering if you… um… well, wanted to go on a date with me. We could have dinner and a movie or do something else if you wanted to," Jason offered sweetly.

"I would love that!" she squealed excitedly. "Pick me up at my house at 7. I can't wait!"

They were both smiling when Jason handed her his phone number on a sticky note and Elizabeth went back to her class and "paid attention" for the rest of it. Jason left and went home, his thoughts being consumed of Elizabeth and their date later that week.
