1/30/04

Thank god it's Friday! I really hate school. I can't stand it anymore. The popular people are fuckin' mean! Especially the jocks. They feel the need to call me names every second of the frickin' day. I just can't take it!

Anyway, I still am banished from my house. Even with Mrs. Conlon trying to get my mom to let me move back in, she still ain't budging.

Today, I knew my mom would be at work all day, so me and Spot put our 'Operation: Get Stuff' into action. Yes, I handed in my key to my mom, but she ain't all that smart. We have a keypad to get into the garage, and she didn't change the code. Also, she still had the key hidden in the same spot in the garage! So of course we got in.

We ran quickly up to my room, which was miraculously untouched. Spot opened the suitcase we had brought and we started throwing everything and anything into it, including my laptop. Soon, the suitcase was full. I took one last look around my room, making sure that everything I wanted was packed.

My eyes stopped on my old, ratty teddy bear. I had had that bear since I was born. I slowly walked over to it and bent down to pick it up. So many memories, good and bad, were etched into the old ratty bear. The first time I went away to camp, my mom had to drive three hours to the camp site to bring me my bear after I had forgotten it. Also, whenever I had a bad day, I would always run up to my room and sit on my bed, hugging it. When my parents announced they were getting a divorce, even though I was sixteen, I still hugged that bear as I cried. How did I forget him in the first place?

After hugging the bear again, I stuffed it into the suitcase. Then I turned toward Spot and sighed.

"I'm ready. Let's go."

He nodded and started down the stairs.

When we reached Spot's house, we both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Operation: Get Stuff is complete!" Spot said, high-fiving me. "Boys! What's all this noise? And why do you have a suitcase?" Mrs. Conlon said, walking into the room.

We both looked at each other and cracked up.

"What did you two do now? Race! Spot!" She called to us as we made our way upstairs.

"Nothing, Mom." Spot called over his shoulder.

We went into 'my' room and dumped the suitcase. As we were sorting everything out, Spot said to me,

"Race... I'm really glad you're here. That we can help you out."

"Yeah, me too. I just wish...." I trailed off.

"She'll come around. I know she will."

"Hopefully." I said, walking over to Spot and putting my arms around his waist. "I'm the luckiest guy alive to have you beside me."

"No, I'm the luckiest guy to have *you* beside *me*."

With that, he kissed me. And that turned into a full-on make out session, only interrupted by Hailey bursting into the room, screaming at the top of her lungs that dinner was ready.

Yeah, we started cracking up as soon as she left the room.

Living at Spot's house is great. I miss my room and my house, but I really don't mind living here, for the obvious reason (oh shut up) and the fact that his mom is so loving and nice.

Later!

Wow, this week end fast! I'm still living with Spot, but I don't care. It's fun...

Speaking of fun, last night was awesome!

There was nothing going on with our friends, Spot and I decided to have a movie night. After about a half hour's worth of trying to decide what movie to watch, we finally picked out Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Then Spot got a brilliant idea... Let's make cookies!

So there we were, slicin' and bakin' the Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies. Well, not really... more like slicin' and eatin' the batter! And then we had a mini-food fight. We actually only made like ten cookies. Oh well, making them was fun!

And the movie? We barely watched it. (What did you expect?) I was in heaven all during it. God, he is such a great kisser!

Anywho, Valentine's Day is next Saturday. This will be the first time I will actually have a Valentine. And I have no clue on what to do! Help me!!!
