Give a round of applause to DemiFan7 for being my first reviewer! Thanks to you I'm going to keep writing! I should probably stop talking now. Hope you like chapter 2!

-Chapter 2-

I yawned as I finished seeing the entire video diary. It was exactly five hours. I never imagined it to be this long. Well, at least it had all the information I needed.

Teddy said I had to start talking to him more and find things in common. She also said never to invite a guy to your house if you want to be alone. Family just messes things up. Just like Mom and Dad messed up Teddy's date with Spencer. The only problem was I don't know things we have in common. August's gorgeous. I'm not even close. He has a great sense of humor. I can't even make a baby laugh. He's cool. I'm lame, etc.

I needed more than to find things in common. Maybe I should change my look. His girlfriend wears short skirts, tight tops, and a bunch a makeup. In second thought, I rather stick with my skinny jeans. I hate wearing makeup. It makes you look like a clown.

I yawned one more time and checked the clock. My eyes went wide open. I can't believe I spent all night watching this. There's only thirty more minutes until school starts!

I quickly went upstairs and entered my room. I got out of my PJs and put on some nice clothes. August had to think of me more than a friend. He needs to know how I feel about him. Finally I grabbed my phone and backpack, and went back downstairs.

"Do you want breakfast sweetie?" Mom called out from the kitchen.

I ran towards the door. "No thanks Mom!" I yelled back. "I'm going to be late for school!"

Mom said something else but I was too in a rush to hear. I hope I don't get count tardy again.

"Okay class," Mrs. Jordan began. "This week you're going to be assigned a partner for a science project. It's going to count for fifty percent of your grade so I hope you put a lot of effort on it. Check the list on your way out." Did I mention that Mrs. Jordan is a very peppy person? On the first day of school she made everybody stand up and say their name. Do you know how embarrassing it is to stand in front of the whole class!

The bell rang. I grabbed my stuff and quickly walked towards the door. I hope I got a nerd. I needed to pass this class. I suck at science and I couldn't afford to fail another test.

I had to wait a few minutes to see. There was a big crowd around the door. When I finally got a glimpse of the list, my eyes went wide open. The list read: August Jeffries & Charlotte Duncan. I can't believe my partner was August!

How could this happen to me? I get all nervous when I talk to him. Imagine being with him every day after school working on the project!

I turned around and saw August walking towards me. "Hey Charlie," he said. His perfect smile made want to smile. This is going to be our fourth conversation! "We're going to be partners."

"Y-yeah," I stuttered. "I-I guess we a-are." I put a strand of blonde hair behind my ear. I do that when I get nervous and I'm especially nervous right now. I can't believe August Jeffries is my science project partner. It's going to be impossible to talk to him while we're working. I always stutter.

August placed his hands in his jacket's pockets. "So when should we start?" he asked. He was so cute. Unlike me, he's not afraid to talk to anybody. I always stutter when I talk to boys.

I let out a shaky breath. "I-I don't k-know. Y-you decide," I said.

He rubbed his chin with two fingers. "Hmm. Let me think," he said. I stared at him as he thought. He has a great sense of humor. Why did I have to fall for him? It's pretty obvious that he doesn't like me. He's always with his stupid girlfriend Jessica. They're always holding hands between classes. I can't even stand thinking about them together.

"How about tomorrow after school at the library," he finally said.

"S-sure," I kept stuttering.

"But I could only stay for an hour. I have a date with Jessica at six tomorrow," he added. That brought my hopes down. This showed that he didn't like me more than a friend even more. Jessica's the luckiest girl in the school. She has August all to herself.

"Okay," I said sadly. It disappointed me to be such a loser.

"Great!" he exclaimed.

Jessica suddenly grabbed August by the hand and pulled him away. Well, that was a rude thing to do. Didn't she see that we were talking? August put his arm around her shoulders and walked away with her. I hate her so much. She turned her head and gave me as nasty look. The look that meant 'Stay away or you'll get hurt.' I can't believe he likes Jessica. She's such a jerk. She doesn't even let her friends get close to him.

I sighed and walked towards my locker. I can't stand any more of this drama.

Like it? Hate it? Please tell me what you think. Reviews make me want to write more. Just press the magic button and make my day!
