PROLOGUE

Everyone but me knew Danny would ask me out. Even my occasional acquaintances. I was so clueless, or maybe I was afraid. Each day we would have talks, not big talks, but enough. And each day he changed. We lived almost right next to each other. Danny came over to fix my bike often. Sometimes I would ask him for help, just so he'd come over. I think he eventually caught on. I still remember the day he asked me out. He was so shy about it. On September 23 I went over to Tucker's to play soccer. His family was a huge soccer team. Thankfully he was a neutral friend between me and Danny, and also lived across the street from me. Tucker always tried so hard to push us together. Little did I know there was no need. Weeks after that day Danny mentioned how he's like me since the school year before. We had the best time. Though he was really the only one actually playing soccer. Well him and Tucker. I was with the little kids. I'd rather not play sports, especially when a cute guy was around. It's like an unwritten girl rule for those who hate sweat. It also helped I guess with my 'playing hard to get'. Even though He still knew how I felt. I had to go home early that day so I went to talk to Tucker. He was all excited, saying things were going to change. But I'm not naïve. I refused to listen. Danny barely said goodbye. I thought it was rude but he later informed me that he was just extremely nervous. After I got home I called Tucker, and found out that Danny also went home. Tucker then told me he was planning on asking me out, he never exactly said it, but he got the message across. I knew how embarrassing it could be to for Danny, since if he did ask me out I would be more then a friend. So I texted him subtly. After about ten minutes I could barely contain myself. I get like that a lot, I was so anxious. I explained that Tucker insisted to believe that he liked me and that he had something to ask. There was then a five minute pause between chats. It only takes about a minute for a normal response. Danny eventually fought back with an agreement. I was so excited. I could not believe it for the life of me. So of course I texted back saying that I had a mutual feeling. He then asked me out via text and I screamed my heart out. That was one of my favorite days, but we both now agree Danny should have asked me in person or at least called. For the rest of that night we texted back and forth. I really wanted to call but I was afraid to ask. It took me a week to build up the courage. I made him watch a special on Vh1. It was the top 100 songs of the 80's. I'm not sure why I'm trying to record this history besides the fact that I record everything. I could be because I love him. Or because Danny truly loved me. Either way, I plan to write every moment. So the events leading to the present, the events marking the rest of my life. Before this, my life was meaningless. And as the days went on, he gave me more love then I would ever imagine. And now in the present everyday I will write one moment with him, because I'm hoping that since I won't live forever, that these words will.5:34PM
