Skyler's Journal 4/26
4/26
Today something peculiar
happened. Lusis and I were walking to gym together, as we always do, but Ginger
was sick so she wasn’t tagging along. Around the cafeteria entrance, I dropped
my colored pencils. Of course Lusis helped pick them up, THAT didn’t surprise
me a bit- but when he was handing me some of the pencils and thought I wasn’t
looking, he looked at me the same way that Roslyn looks at Jonothon.
“What?”
I asked him. He looked confused.
“What
what?”
“You
were looking at me… in a different way.”
“No,
I wasn’t.” His blush was as red as a rose from the rose bush. To save him, I
left it at that and finished picking up the pencils before standing up and
walking the rest of the way to gym.
Why
would he look at me like that? I try to push to the back of my mind that he had
a crush on me, because there is no getting my hopes up since a crush could fade
in days. But why would Lusis having a crush on me get my hopes up. It’s not
like I would date him if he asked me- I wouldn’t! But maybe I just want him to
be an option when I’m older. Prepossessing boys are in short supply in Mill
Halley, and Lusis could go quickly. But why would I want him to stay single?
I’m so selfish, and I can’t swim any deeper. I have to get some air.
