A/N: Sorry about the confusion of the "she/he" teacher in chapter one. I'll try to fix it:P If you see anything like that…review or message!

Two years have passed quickly in this place. The eleventh grade isn't really as special as I thought. Nothing has really happened except for the occasional make-out (but that only happens when we get drunk). Summer hates me and we're competing for top in the class, Tomika is my best friend and a lot more confident, but my best best friend is Freddy. I hope he feels the same way.

Journal,
I've never done this, but I've got to tell something. In the ninth grade year, Lynn Green moved from West Sussex, England. Her and I became very close very quick. But…she's so amazing. I wanna be hers and for her to be mine, but I'm too afraid. It started out with a kiss. How did it end up like this? She's had one or two boyfriends since then and it tore me up and made me actually get physically sick. It was only a kiss. It was only a kiss. I think I love her, but I can't be sure.

Journal,
I haven't done this in a while, but I have to tell something. In the ninth grade I moved from West Sussex and I became really close with Freddy Jones. A rebel with a cause and a hot one at that. We know how that goes. But…Freddy's different. I think I'm in love with him. I wanna be his and for him to be mine, but I'm too afraid. It started out with a kiss. How did it end up like this? I've had one or two other bfs, but I only wanted Freddy. It tore me up. It was only a kiss. It was only a kiss. I think I'm in love…but I can't be sure.

Later that week (Friday), I got to a male/female sleepover that Freddy goes to as well. "Okay, guys! We're playing Seven Minutes in Heaven! Woooo!" Our already drunk host announces. The odds of me getting Freddy are high, so I sit against the couch with my knees hugged tightly to my chest and my chin rested in between them. It's his turn. He reaches in and I hide my face in my knees so I don't have to see the lucky bitch that gets him. I feel him stand, but I don't feel him move.
His knee pushes me over. "Lynn…let's go." I look up and he has his hand out for me to take. I get up on my own and he pulls me into the closet. "Lynn, we need to talk." I nod.
"Yeah, we do." He takes a deep breath, as do I.
"Lynn/Freddy, I love you." We say in unison. I smile. "Really?" He nods.
"Since the first kiss." I nod as well as "Fireworks" by The Plain White T's comes on outside of the room. "Our song, okay?" I smile and wrap my arms around his neck as he pulls me close by wrapping his arms around me.
-Outside-
"How did that happen?!" Summer yells. They pull out another identical bowl.
"We rigged it. Look, we all know they love each other and they belong together. We're…just helping them along." They switch the bowls back and throw away the excess papers.
"But that's not fair!" Summer yells again.
"Get over it, Summer. They're meant for each other."
-Inside-
We're deep in our make-out session when the one minute warning is heard. I pull away and begin to straighten myself out. "Lynn…will you be mine?"
"This is gonna sound corny, but…I was yours from day one."
"Aw, how corny!" He coos. I chuckle and the door opens.
"You guys are done, I assume." We nod.
"Yeah, thanks, Zack." We exit the closet.
"So…what happened?" Marta enquires
"Not much."
"Did you two finally get together?" Tomika asks. I nod and they all cheer.
"They rigged it!" Summer yells out of nowhere.
"I figured as much." I smile and look over at Freddy. "And I'm glad they did." He pulls me against his side and kisses me passionately as the chorus of "Forever" by Vertical Horizon kicks in.
