I stared at the blackboard, past 'Mrs Dumbbum' thinking.
I wish Mr S...Dewey...was still our teacher...
"Tamika! What's the answer?"
"Uh...orange?"
There were giggles round the classroom.
"No Tamika, 0.1 x 60 isn't orange. Now pay attention please!"
I rolled my eyes. Through the summer vacation, I'd shot up at least 5 inches taller, and lost a load of my baby-fat. I also excercised more, so I came back to school being 5 stones from 9 1/2!!! All of the boys were finally noticing me. But the only guy I wanted was Dewey Finn.
I know I'm kidding myself. But I really like him! It all started at band practice...
"Hey Tamika can I have a word?"
"Sure."
"Look, I need to know what you've been eating to make you this thin girl!! 'Cause let me tell you, I need some of it. You're making me look like Fatman Scoop out there!"
"Most of it was baby fat. But dancing around while singing helped burn my carbs."
I smiled at Dewey's face. He always makes cute faces.
"Well, Tamika, I think every boy that sees you up there is really gonna wanna know you...if you know what I mean!!!"
He laughed.
"So you got your eye on any guy?"
I smiled and paused, looking around the room before settling my eyes on his face again, so it wasn't too obvious.
"Yeah, there is someone pretty special..."
"Alright guys let's rock!"
I smiled to myself.
"And I'm gonna get him!"

"Well you think you'll be just fine.
Without me but you're mine!
How can you kick me out
Of what is miiiine?!"
"Ok, and girls you've gotta be ready then to do your bit and then the second time round Tamika, you do a solo ok? Good alright well uh, I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"I have to do it now!"
"No Tamika. You can't. I mean, what's he gonna say?!"
"Alicia. I don't care."
"Alright but, I can't watch."
"Uh, Dewey. I gotta tell you something. I...I...I like you...as more than a friend...."
I looked at him. He opened his mouth to tell me something.....
