Gray walked by me at my locker today and nudged me with his arm. A friendly push. When I looked up to yell at whoever was shoving me, I saw that it was him and felt my face grin like a fool. He was walking away like he didn’t even notice me, then turned his head back and gave me an evil grin so gorgeous, my heart actually skipped a beat. Oh man, he is too cute. I’ll say it, I wish he was mine.

No, I haven’t talked to Mom yet, but I will, I will (Heather has been missing for a week – no new leads, just lots of theories at school). No, I haven’t started my career list yet either (I have a whole week for that). Hey, I’ve got stuff to do…lots of important stuff….like, uh, seeing if Gray is online.

I did finally talk to Mom about Tessa Prince’s thoughts today. She had me tell her three times exactly what Tessa was thinking. She said give her a little time to think about it and talk to Dad. I feel really relieved that I told her. Now, it’s like her problem, not mine. But I can’t help thinking about it. I think about Heather all the time. If she was supposed to call Tessa, then at least she’s still alive, right? I hope so. I just wish I knew where she was, and if she’s okay. Hurry up, Mom.

Ten days of school left (last day, May 29)!!!! Two measly little weeks! I can’t wait! The teachers are all trying to pound that last little bit of learning into our heads before they have to let us be FREEE for the summer. Don’t they realize we’re already gone? Anything we “learn” now will be gone as soon as finals are over! The sad part is that in two weeks Gray will be gone for most of the summer…two whole months. Sophie, being Sophie, says I should just tell him that I like him…she’s nuts! No way am I going to tell him anything about how I feel. She thinks there’s a good chance that he likes me back…shhheyeah, right. I think we might bebecoming friends, though, and that would be okay by me. Really though, why am I so excited about school being out…that just means yard work in the hot sticky heat all summer. Dad told me today that I get to start this Saturday, because business is really picking up….oh joy. I just have to keep reminding myself….new clothes, new shoes, new clothes, new shoes, new flip-flops, new tennies, new boots for fall…sigh. (still no list….who cares!) Friday night, going to Sophie’s to hang out. Mom said I can sleep over. We’re going to watch reruns of “Project Runway” and make fun of the designers and their awful (sometimes) creations. Love Heidi Klum though! Maybe we’ll check to see who’s on Facebook too…you know, like just to see.

Spent most of the day mowing grass. Too bad I’m not allergic. But I earned almost $50, so I guess I’ll live. The whole summer stretches before me, hot and sweaty. Ick. At least I have Sophie to suffer with me, although being a babysitter she gets to suffer in the air conditioning. Lucky! Of course, I don’t have to corral brats all day, so I suppose it’s a trade-off. The only nice thing is that taking a shower after a long hot day mowing or pulling weeds is like heaven in the summer (or going swimming, but not much time or chances for that). Mom’s calling…I’ll bet she and Dad are wanting to talk…I hope.
