The Loft Prequel - Falling more in love with you

First day of this year, me, Alice Gallaghan, I'm in HIS class. Although I was in extension class last year I still couldn't believe it as the teacher said his name and mine, entwined in the same sentence. I was really excited. I knew that he had broken up with Amy. I am really happy about it. I know that this is sad and all, but it's true. As we walked into the classroom, I couldn't keep my eyes off his beautiful face. At once, his eyes met mine and we had a silent connection for a minute. Never before have I ever thought of the possibility that I would like someone this much. It's something new to me. Never before have I been unable to find the words for anything. He said 'Hi' to me but I forgot how to speak, so I waved. This was going to be the beginning of something new.

Last year, I couldn't muster up the confidence to say anything other than 'Hi' but this year is going to be different. Alexis is really good at talking to him, maybe it's because she can actually talk to him without muking up what she says. I have NEVER been unable to talk to someone. You could say, he took my breath away.

The only time I find the confidence to talk to Zac is this term, term 4. We sit near each other in math so I try and talk and it works. Our friendship is building, it's gone from 0% construction to 89%.

Oh No! Our building has fallen over because the bulldozer, Carmen Dover came along. Although she's kind of a frenemy, I guess you could say that she's kind of shy but she's a frenemy because she can be mean sometimes. She sat next to Zac and TRIED to flirt with him. I never noticed the warning signs such as,"Watch out! Bulldozing in session." or "Caution! Alice's tears! Wet floor!"
I was focusing on the bigger bulldozer, the mother of all bulldozers, Kayla Mayfair. Kayla Mayfair recently moved to California and decided to join our group. To tell the truth, she's a really, super extremely, mean, leaving-out-people, attention-seeking person. She has OFFICIALLY flirted with every guy in our school. Everyone says that there's no competition between us and that I'd win by far. I don't believe this. I don't think it's true. Zac is so smart, popular, good-looking, musically talented, artistically talented, style co-ordinated and the list goes on and on.

"See you next year!!" I shouted to Zac as he walked home with his crowd. "Yeah see you next year!!!" he yelled back. My heart raced, almost as fast as he runs and man does he run fast! I was dazed by the connection of our eyes once more, so dazed that I tripped over. Who does that? Well, I guess it's me because secretly, Zac, I'm falling more in love with you.
