Diary of a 6th Grade Girl(6)

Day 15


                Dear Diary,

                Kyle is going to a party this weekend, and he invited me to come as his date! So, I am officially his date. It’s going to be a party with a bunch of people from our Middle School, so I’ll get to show everyone (especially Kristy) that Kyle wanted to go with me. It’s going to be really fun.

                I’m surprised that my mom is letting me go, but she said since there are going to be adults there, it’s okay with her. I just have to be back home by 10:00! That’s a lot later than I’m usually allowed out.

                She’s met Kyle before though; when she drove me to school a few days ago (I forgot to tell you about that—I missed the bus because I slept in!). She really likes Kyle, and thinks he’s a nice boy, so she trusts me to go to the party with him and come home okay. His parents are driving us, so I’ll have to meet them. I’m just a tiny bit nervous about that.





Day 16


                Dear Diary,

                I just got home from the party, and I can’t believe how much fun it was. We played games, and we danced, and we hung out, and I actually made a lot more friends. Kyle introduced me to some people who I have seen in classes, but haven’t had the chance to talk to. And we held hands, and Kristy saw, and it didn’t even bother me when she came over to tell me how ugly my dress was, because Kyle was holding my hand and smiling at me.

                His parents are really nice. They picked us up at 9:30, and they said that I was welcome to come over to their house any time I wanted to hang out with Kyle. I don’t think I’m ready to go to his house yet though.

                But I have some very special, important news to tell you. At the party, I got my very first kiss on the lips. I’ve been kissed on the cheek before, but it’s very different when you get kissed on the lips.

                Kyle and I were outside, by the cooler, and it was dark out. We could see the stars, and we were holding hands. It was very romantic. And I turned to look at him and say something, but he was a lot closer than I was expecting. I forgot what I was saying, and I just looked into his eyes, blushing. Then, I can’t even believe that I did it, but I leaned in all the way and kissed him on the lips.

                It was really sweet. He kissed me back for a minute, and then we went back inside. I can’t believe how wonderful it is. I guess that kiss made it official, and we’re boyfriend and girlfriend now.

                I can’t believe how well Middle School is going. I’ve already learned a lot, and it’s only been a few weeks. I think the most important thing that I learned is that it’s not important to be popular. It just matters if you have friends that you like and get along with. I’m glad that my friends, especially Sharon, like me for who I am. I don’t have to be like Kristy and wear clothes and do things just because it looks good. I can be me. And, even though Kristy is popular, my friends are real, and I have a boyfriend. This is going to be a very good year, I think. I can’t believe I was scared about starting Middle School.
