Dear Journal,
We had two games tonight, but I forgot to tell you something. On Saturday, before coming home from the final game, the guys were hungry, so we stopped at McDonalds. Peyton and I let the guys off first. Coach Walker said to us, "I feel sorry for the two of you having to put up with these guys."
I said, shrugging my shoulders, "I go to school with them."
Walker then said, "I know," almost like, 'you brave souls.'
Jake was in the doorway, and Coach Walker patted him on the back and said, "Except for Jake here, he's a 'please' and 'thank you' man."
Jake kind of blushed, and I smiled at Peyton. I'm not the only one who thinks he's a sweetie (or at least a nice guy).
Thursday, Mr. Jagelski asked if my dad works at the Quick Mart. He also asked my name.
TODAY – Mr. Jagelski said hi to me, and asked if I have a job this summer. I definitely know why Jake's such a great guy. I found out why Tom's name is Captain Grumpy – he never has a smile on his face. Whitey's boy's name is Alex (AJ), Erik asked him what the J stood for. He said "Jon."
Jake said, "What is it?"
"Jon."
"Jonathan?"
"No, just Jon."
"Yeah, it's just Jon," Erik said.
Nathan then said, "I was going to name my kid Alexander Steven. Just for kicks."
I wasn't really thinking about it until Junk said, "You'll call him AS, right?" I thought about it then, the three initials together, A.S.S. Before Junk made his comment though, Coach Thompson said, "First you have to have a kid." (or something like that) Nathan smiled, laughed, and said, "Yeah, I know."
Mr. Jagelski asked me what grade I'm in, I think it's kind of weird.
The guys are proud of me. I know when to write SAC (sacrifice), Jason patted me on the back, and I heard several cheers.

Dear Journal,
Well, this should be a very brief entry, makes up for all of my long ones. All I could think about today was Jake. I AM obsessed!
