Dear Diary,

Today is our 6 month anniversary! I am so excited! Sticks is going to meet me at Paradise Park. I really hope he likes the necklace I made him… I thought about buying him some basketball gear (something he'll use every day), but I think he'll like it—I made it with love! Haha. Tonight's gonna be special, I can feel it! I told Dad that I'm spending the night at Laura's, just so I wouldn't have to worry about curfew.


I just got back and I'm at Laura's!

The night went pretty well… But while me and Sticky were playing 5 questions… he got really mad because I asked about his mom. I don't understand why he won't open up to me. I feel like he should trust me and be comfortable telling me anything… I've told him about my mom! Why can't he do the same?!... But I guess there is nothing I can do about it. Still, it bums me out that he gets so angry anytime his mom is brought up in conversation. I'll just avoid it from now on… I'll wait until he's ready to bring it up himself.

The rest of the night was better… After I told him that I'm just worried about him bottling things up inside, Sticky told me that he never wants us to get messed up. That made me really happy. He's never really said anything like that before… So I took a chance and told him I love him! Despite our fight, I was really happy that Sticky revealed how he felt about me. That moment was so perfect… and we fell asleep under the tree, happy.

Then Sticks walked me to Laura's and told me he's going to basketball camp this summer! It's really really exciting! I hope we can go to the same college when the time comes… Somewhere not too far, like USC or UCLA. I'm so excited just thinking about our future together. But it is still a while away… so for now, I'm just really happy we're going to see each other more this summer.

Love,
