Today was a VERY busy day. I had two reviews today for tests tomorrow (easy-peasy), band was crazy as we had our last concert of the year tonight (with the choir too), rushed to appointment with Headcase (she was happier about me telling Sophie my secret than me!), rushed home and wolfed down some dinner, changed into something nice (eh, who cares), then rushed off to the concert. Mom and Dad were both there (Matt wouldn’t set foot at one of my band things, unless they made him…he had to work, aw rats). I knew (you know why) that Mom was planning to get me to introduce Gray to Dad, so after the concert I said good-bye to him in the band room, and rushed my parents out of there with the excuse of needing to study (which was very true!). Crisis averted…whew!

Now it’s 11:00 and I’m pooped. But I went over my review notes for English and Science, and I feel pretty confident. If I do well on the Science test, I will definitely pull out a Bfor the quarter and semester. That’s all I ask, please God. English is no biggie, since the test only covers “Huckleberry Finn”, and I’ve read that at least three times. I also have a math test tomorrow, which most people are sweating over (I had to help a couple of people at lunch with their practice problems), but that will be a breeeeeeeeeeeze. Now I’m going to bed (yawn). Only 2 1/2 more days of school, then Gray leaves. :(

Tests, tests, tests…my brain is tired. I think I did okay on the Science test, kind of holding my breath. I need at least a B+ to definitely have a B in the class. Aced the math test, and I only had to guess on a couple of questions on the English test. Not bad, overall. Of course, Sophie did fine. She aces everything. The girl has a memory like an elephant. I think she’s gotten straight A’s since third grade when they started giving grades. Gray said he got stuck on just one of the math problems, but he managed to finish the test right when the bell rang. Jon couldn’t care less. I think he gets mostly B’s, but he doesn’t study at all, and barely does the homework. I’m confident he’ll be a janitor some day!

Speaking of Jon, I probably shouldn’t have said anything to him about Sophie. He’s acting even freakier than before! The past couple of days I’ve managed to touch him a couple of times, you know, all casual like, and he has got it bad for that girl. That’s almost all he’s thinking about, but he’s scared to death to say anything to her. He’s so nervous when he’s around her, and since we’ve been hanging out with him and Gray so much, I’ve hardly heard him say two words. Poor guy. I wish there was something I could do to help him. Today he pulled me aside and asked me how I knew that he likes her, and I fudged and said I had just noticed that he gets really quiet when she’s around (which is true), and had put two and two together (with a little help from his brain). I promised him I wouldn’t say anything to her unless he asked me to, and he heaved this big sigh of relief. I’m not sure he’ll ever get up the nerve to even talk to her! I’ll have to come up with a plan…I think they’d make a cute couple and wouldn’t it be fun for best friends to be couples together!
