FIFTH GRADE

Fifth grade had just started, I had only a few friends, and we had started drifting apart over the summer, but that all changed because of the Pokemon Club. We had only about 10 members, and three of them talked about Yu-Gi-Oh. I made 3 best friends, Jen, Tess, and Jacob. Plus a good acquaintance named Mason. It was an awesome year.

But then, something strange happened to me. I noticed myself getting nervous around Jacob, but I had no idea why, he was my ultimate best friend. One, day, he asked me to a dance, and I got serious butterflies.

"S-sure," I stuttered. And to be honest, I had been hoping for him to have asked me, but I still didn't know why, and it only got stranger.

"Man, I wish Kalei was here," I had said one day. "She's an awesome friend

"Yeah, me too. You know, I used to like here a lot. And before her, it was a girl named Lacy. But now, I really like you," he had replied. It was like a happiness punch to my stomach, I was blushing like crazy! But I STILL didn't know why. That's when I decided to get some help from my other friends.

"OK," I said, " Why am I getting butterflies, stuttering, and blushing when I talk to Jacob?"

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! You like him!" Tess and Jen said excitedly.

"Well yeah, he's my best friend" I responded

"No, you LIKE him, you know, romantically?" They explained.

"What?" I asked, confused.

"You're in love with him" They explained further.

At that moment, I found out. I loved my best friend. I decided to wait until 6th grade started to tell him. At the dance, he didn't even dance, and kept running away from me. On the last day of school we gave each other a hug and I said, "See you in 6th grade."

Again, sorry for the short chapters, but I kinda hafta make them short since they each are 1 grade.
