Diary of a 6th Grade Girl(4)



                He reached over, and I saw his hand was shaking a little bit, and he took my hand in his. I was nervous, and I didn’t want my hand to be sweaty, but I held his hand for the rest of the movie.

                After the movie, he picked the restaurant since I got to pick the movie we went to. He chose this little pizza place farther away from the mall. We had to wait for Anna to come out of a horror movie with her boyfriend, and then we walked together to the pizza place.

                I was embarrassed that Anna had to come with us, but she gave us our space, and I was glad that I could watch and see what she did. I felt shy eating in front of Kyle, so I just did what she did with her boyfriend. They sat at the same table with us, but they left pretty soon so they could go kiss or something.

                Kyle held my hand again, and we talked for a while. He even asked me if it was true that I liked him. I told him yes, and I know my cheeks must have been bright pink. He smiled at me and told me that he liked me too, but he was too shy before to say anything.

                Right now, we’re still just friends I think. But maybe I’ll be his girlfriend sometime. That would definitely make Kristy jealous of me.

                When we went to school again yesterday, Kyle told everyone that we went to the movies and to dinner together. It made Kristy really mad, and she didn’t even talk to me! She just glared at me when we passed in the hallway. I like it this way a lot more and I hope she decides not to talk to me anymore. She can be really mean.

                Oh, I had my first science quiz today. I think I must have failed. It was only ten questions, but they were all a lot harder than they were in Elementary School. There was an essay question at the bottom that was the hardest to do, and I’m not very good at writing. I hope my grade doesn’t go down, but the teacher said it was just to give us some practice. I think that I should start studying more than once a week.





Day 11


                Dear Diary,

                I was talking about how bad I am at Science during lunch today, and another girl told me that she’s good at it. She offered to help me with Science if I help her with Math, so we’re going to study together once a week! I’m really excited, because I think she might become my best friend.

                Her name is Sharon, and she’s really sweet. She moved here a few years ago, from a completely different country, so she knows what it’s like to be the new girl. She talks with an accent too, but I didn’t know if it was rude to ask where she was from.

                I gave her my phone number, and she called around dinner time so that I could ask my mom if it’s okay for me to stay after school tomorrow. We’re going to do our studying together every Thursday, since she has something else to do every other day of the week. She dances, and she takes music lessons, and she even plays sports! I don’t think she likes to, but her mom makes her do it.

                I’m really happy to have a new friend, and I have someone who can help me with Science. Our grades and our social lives are getting better at the same time! We’ll invite the other kids at our lunch table to come too, but I don’t know if they’ll want to. They don’t really study very much, and I think that some of them might even end up failing. One of the girls at our table looks like she should be in High School, but she’s only in 8th grade. I’m determined to keep my grades up; I would hate to be held back. It would be embarrassing, and my parents would kill me.





Day 12


                Dear Diary,

                Today is Friday, and guess what?! I’m having my first ever sleepover tomorrow. Sharon is coming over, and we’re going to have so much fun. It’s going to be really nice. My mom rented some movies for us, and we’re going to order pizza, and have ice cream. We might study, if we have enough time for that.
