   Chapter 10
   I got home that night around 11:30 and quietly went up to my room so I wouldn't disturb my mom who must have been sleeping because I didn't see her anywhere around. I started walking up the stairs when I saw broken glass on them. I stepped around them and continued walking upstairs. When I got up there, all of our windows were shattered and everything was a complete mess. I went into the bathroom and all our medicine was gone. I went into my mom's room, she wasn't there. Her room was also in shambles, I in her jewelry box which her great-grandmother gave her many years ago and all the jewelry in it was gone. Whoever it was even took the television she had in her room. I was scared to look, but I went into my room. I had many valuables in there and when I went to look sure enough, everything was gone. My radio, jewelry, television--oh my God, no... sh*t no. They took the only thing I ever cared about having. My grandmother died of cancer and before she died, she gave me a silver bracelet with charms on it. Each charm represented something about me. I loved that bracelet so much and it was gone in a matter of seconds. I slid my back down my wall so I was sitting on the floor with my back against the wall and cried. Our house was wrecked. I pulled out my phone and called John.
   "Hello?" He answered.
   "John, oh my God, is there any way you can come back to my house. You'll never believe what happened." I could barely talk, I was choking everything out between sobs.
   "Is everything okay? What happened? I'm on my way right now." I felt so bad for making him worry, but I was scared that whoever robbed our house was going to come back.
   "I'm fine, just come quick please." I hung up the phone and walked downstairs and out the door. I sat on the stoop in front of the front door and put my head into my hands. It seemed like forever, but John pulled up in my driveway. He got out of his car and ran over to me. I stood up and hugged him. As embarrassing as it was, I cried into his shoulder. He held me tight and whispered in my ear that everything was going to be alright.
   When I calmed down he asked me, "What happened?"
   "Someone robbed my house, everything's ruined and they took all of our valuable stuff including my bracelet that my grandmother gave me before she died." I put my head back into my hands trying to hold back the tears.
   "Oh my gosh Kara." He hugged me again.
   "I'm sorry for making you come back here, this is so embarrassing." I hugged him back.
   "It's fine, I was still on the road anyway if it makes you feel better." I had to giggle at that.
   "Thanks." I smiled at him.
   "Anytime." He smiled back. "You know I'm always here for you."

   Chapter 9
   That night, I was invited to go to the beach... can you guess who invited me? Yeah, John. I was almost going to say no but I accepted at the last minute. Maybe it'd be fun? He picked me up and we drove down to the beach. I was wearing shorts that came to my mid thigh, flip flops, and an opened zippered sweatshirt with a purple shirt showing under it. We walked along the beach and it was still a little light out. He reached for my hand but I quickly pulled it up and pretended to fix my hair. Don't ask me why, I just did. When I put it back down, he grabbed it. His fingers intertwined between mine and they fit like puzzle pieces, perfect. I enclosed my fingers over his hand too. We walked for a little more and he finally stopped before a bunch of rocks. He sat down on one and I sat next to him. he looked me in the eyes and said, "You look really pretty tonight."
   I smiled, "Thanks I guess."
   "Anytime." He smiled back and put his hand to his face. "Kara?"
   "Yeah?" I replied.
   "Will you, will you be my, my girlfriend?" He stared into my eyes with affection.
   I could tell he was nervous. I looked back into his eyes and said, "I uh... yeah." My smile stretched from ear to ear. He smiled back and kissed my cheek. We sat there talking for a little and everything about it was perfect. Even though we were sitting down, he still grabbed my hand and held it tight. We finally got up and went over to put our feet in the water. It was getting dark, but I didn't mind and I don't think John did either. Before I knew it, John and I were in a "splash fight" I guess you could call it. I stole his hat and placed it on my head and ran around with it. He chased me and finally got hold of my waist. He held me in a hug so I turned to face him. Our faces were close, really close. I looked him in the eyes and smiled as he was leaning in to kiss me. I closed my eyes, waiting for our lips to meet but instead, he grabbed the hat off my head and started running away. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
   "Good one." I stuck my tongue out at him.
   "Oh, I know." He smiled. I ran over to him and he sat down in the sand. I sat next to him and laid my head on his shoulder 'playing' with his fingers. He put his arm around me and we stayed sitting there in that wonderful moment that I never wanted to end.

   Chapter 8
   The next day, I woke up feeling terrible. I had a bad headache and a stiff neck again. It hurt so bad when I got up and jerked it to the side, I started tearing up. Cold be worse. I thought to myself. I managed to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I decided to stay in my pajamas until at least the headache passed. I laid on the couch for about an hour watching television. Since nothing good was on, I decided to go see Anne. I walked to her house and rang the doorbell -- no answer. I went around to the back to see if she was in her room and she was. I called her and she picked up. "I'm outside your house, answer the door." I hung up the phone, walked back around to the front door and she let me in. She was home alone, as usual. I hugged her, I could tell she had been crying.
   "Wanna talk about it?" I asked. I didn't want to force her to tell me, only if she wanted to.
   "He cheated on me Kara, and you'll never guess who." She started crying again. I felt so bad for her.
   "Who? You don't have to talk about it, it's fine really."
   "I'm okay. He- he cheated with Kasey." Tears were streaming down her face.
   "Oh my God," I was so shocked he'd do something like that. He knew we weren't friends at all with Kasey. "Anne, hey, you're too good for him. Come on." I led her to her room upstairs and sat her on her bed. I sat down next to her and she leaned her head on my shoulder and continued to cry.
   "I love him, Kara, I really do." I could tell she really did, the way she used to look at him with such affection in her eyes. Even Blake looked at her in the same way.
   "Want to go get some ice cream?" I needed some way to cheer her up.
   "Sure," she said. Her tears slowed down. She stopped crying when we got in the car. We arrived at the ice cream shop that was only five minutes away from us and ordered our favorite flavor, moose tracks. I was able to make Anne laugh a little and it got her mind off of Blake. Right as we were about to throw our trash away, John walked in with his six year old adorable niece.
   "Wait here Anne." I ran over to John and Sara, his niece, and greeted them. John hugged me and I bent down to talk to Sara. I had met her a few times before and she loved seeing me, just as I loved talking to her. "What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" I asked her.
   "Vanilla!" She exclaimed, giggling. I laughed and stood up, rising back to John's level. He was only a few inches taller than me, which I liked.
   "I'll call you later." I smiled at him and walked back over to Anne who was looking at her phone. "Let's go back to my house." With that, Anne and I drove back to my house and stayed in my room blasting music and jumping around like idiots, and even though my neck was still kind of hurting, I sucked it up for her.

   Chapter 7
   When I was about to get out of the car, John stopped me.
   "What?" I asked talking slowly so I could be with him longer.
   "Nothing, I just needed to see your face again before you leave so I can have a fresh thought of it in my mind until the next time I see it," he smirked.
   I laughed and smiled. "Take a picture, it'll last longer," I said sarcastically. Just then he pulled out his phone and set it to camera. "I wasn't serious," I said laughing.
   "I know, but since you mentioned it I thought it'd be a good idea." He made me smile and he snapped a picture of it. I could feel myself blushing and I hoped he wouldn't notice.
   "Am I free to go now?" I asked, playfully of course.
   "Nope," he said.
   I sighed. What was he going to try to pull now? I thought to myself. "What then?"
   "Kara, I know I've already said this, but you're the only thing that's been on my mind, and I can't shake the thought of how much I want to be with you. Please, I'm looking for an honest answer. Do you feel the same way?"
   I looked down, thinking of what to say. I'll admit it, he has been all I've been thinking about lately. Finally, I decided I was going to tell him how I felt. "To be honest, you're what I think about a lot too lately so I guess maybe you could say I feel the same way." I quickly said that and opened the door and walked in my house leaving him sitting there speechless. Before I shut the house door, I managed to get a quick look at his face. He was smiling to himself. I waved to him, not expecting him to get out of his car, but he did. He came over to me and hugged me tightly and I hugged him back. The smell of his cologne filled my lungs. We stood like that for awhile and the only reason we pulled apart was because I could see my mom's car in the distance over his shoulder. "That's my mom." He released me from his embrace and I let go of him. He kissed me on the cheek and got in his car and drove away. I walked in the house and went up to my room, replaying in my head everything that happened.

   Chapter 6
   I got to my house and took a quick shower. When I got out, John called me.
   "Hello?" I answered.
   "Hey, I just got done at the gym. I'm gonna go home to shower quickly and I'll pick you up at 3, we can get lunch together."
   "Okay, see you then." I hung up the phone and dried off. I changed into jean shorts and a light pink flowy top. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and applied some mascara. By the time I was done getting ready, John had arrived. Since my mom still wasn't home, I left a note for her.
   Mom, out with friends. Be back later. ~Kara
   I walked out the door and was greeted by a smothering hug from John. We got in the car and started driving.
   "Where do you want to go?" He asked me.
   "No where fancy," I laughed.
   "Pick a place, I'm sure you don't want to leave the deciding up to me." I had to admit, he usually ate gross food.
   "Okay, how about um..." I paused. He looked at me and then back at the road. "I don't care, you can choose," I said, defeated.
   "How about we go on a picnic." He smiled at me. I agreed to it and we went back to his house to make sandwiches. We drove a little ways and parked at the bottom of a hillish area. We got out of the car and walked to the top of the hill. I set out a towel and sat down on it. John sat right next to me and opened the box that contained our food. I ate the peanut butter and banana sandwich and John ate his. When we finished we had some chips. Once we were full we just talked.
   "That was good." I looked up at him as he stretched.
   "Yeah, since when do you make sandwiches?" I replied.
   "Ah, I usually don't." He chuckled. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. I smiled and looked down. He smiled and let out a laugh. "It's so cute when you do that."
   "Thanks," I sighed and stood up. John got up too. Right near the hill was a pond so I walked over to it, John following me. I knelt beside it to see if I could see any fish swimming around. John came up beside me and pushed me a little but then grabbed me again so I wouldn't actually fall in. I got up and he started laughing. "What the hell!?" I said laughing along. I punched him playfully and he rubbed his shoulder where I hit him and put a sad face on.
   "Ow, that hurt."
   "Aw, I'm sorry." I said sarcastically. I hugged him quickly. All of a sudden he held his eye and let out a yelp.
   "Oh my God, a bug just flew in my eye." He said still holding his face.
   "Are you kidding me?!" I laughed thinking he was joking.
   "It's not funny, I'm serious. It really hurts."
   "Aw, let me see." I was starting to believe he was actually hurt. I went up close to his face and unclasped his hand from his eye. It looked fine. "There's noth-" He cut me off with a kiss. When we finally pulled back, I looked into his electric blue eyes.
   "I know." He smiled looking into my eyes. "I just really needed to do that." His smile grew wider. I couldn't believe that John, yes... John, stole my first kiss. Most of me didn't mind though. I just smiled back. "Let's go," he said starting to walk back up the hill. He took my hand and our fingers intertwined. We walked back up the hill, packed everything, and drove back to my house.

   Chapter 4
   The next few days went by really fast. I hung out with a few friends on Sunday and had a good time. We went bowling and we talked about how this summer was going to fly by. I knew it was going to. Monday, I hung out with Anne after she got out of work. She ended up sleeping over my house so that we could get ready together and go with each other. I woke up with a stiff neck. I put icy-hot on it and it calmed down. We quickly changed and met John and some other people at the beach. We put all our lunches and drinks in the cooler and the cooler into the back of John's jeep (the top was off). I put sunscreen on and set out my towel. Anne did the same and we laid side by side trying to tan. Before long, I was over John's shoulder and thrown into the clear sparkling water. I immediately jumped out because it was so cold that I was in shock. I swam over to John whose back was turned to me. I casually pushed him over and laughed. He popped up laughing and smiled at me. I smiled back.
   "Not so tough now, are you?" I said playfully.
   "Guess not." He winked at me. Woah, wait... he winked at me! My stomach fluttered.
   "Well I'm going back to the shore to dry off and get back to tanning, enjoy that water." I smiled at him, starting to make my way back to the shore.
   "Wait!" He yelled after me. I turned around and he waved at me to come back over.
   "What?" I asked coming a little closer. He started walking toward me. We were then face to face. He put his hands on my waist.
   "Dance with me," he said smiling. I couldn't say no.
   "In the water?" I asked laughing.
   "Sure, why not?" He said.
   "Alright, sure then." I smiled back. I placed my hands around his neck which brought us a little closer.
   We were swaying back and forth, probably looking like idiots. I didn't care though, it felt good to be wrapped in someone's arms. He hugged me for what seemed like forever and then I pushed him back looking into his eyes and him looking into mine. I smiled and looked down, my hands still around his neck and his hands around my waist.
   "You have the prettiest smile I have ever seen. Your eyes are amazing, I get lost every time I look into them," he said to me, making me blush.
   "And you're the craziest person I've ever met!" I said laughing. "But thanks, it means a lot coming from you."
   "Anytime, beautiful." He let go of me and we talked for a little while longer.
   "I'm hungry, let's eat!" I said.
   "Sounds good, let's go." We started walking back to the shore and Anne was still there tanning. I nudged her and she opened her eyes, looking at me. She gave me a look and I knew that she had been watching the whole thing. Since she was pretty close to the water line and we were only up to our waist in water, I guess she would've been able to see. I just smiled at her as John put a sandwich in my hand. I unwrapped it started eating it. Once it started getting late Anne and I rolled up all the towels and packed out stuff away in my car. We stayed a couple hours longer and once it started getting cold we all went back to John's house for a bon fire. I didn't bother stopping home for any reason so we just went straight there. By the end of the day it was only Anne, John, and me around a toasty fire. I forgot to bring a sweatshirt and was freezing so John gave me his. It smelt like Hollister, so good. It ended up being a really fun day and it wasn't stupid or anything, just fun.

   Chapter 3
   About half way through the movie, John pulled a move. He put his arm around me and brought us closer to each other. I could feel my heart racing. I didn't know why but butterflies formed in my stomach. I sat there for a little and tried to make him think that I thought it was just a friendly gesture until he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek, thank God. If he really kissed me, I don't know how I would've reacted. I could feel my face get hot, but luckily it was dark so John didn't see. I didn't want to but I shifted my weight over to the other side of the seat so that his arm wasn't wrapped around me anymore. I could feel him looking at me. I made like I was actually watching the movie, but really I was thinking about him and hoping that I wasn't making him feel bad. When the movie was over, we walked out of the theater in silence. I don't even know what the movie was about because I barely paid attention to it but oh well. I felt kind of stupid rejecting him like that but I didn't want him to know that I sort of liked him. He thought it'd be funny to take pictures in the photo booth thing so I went along with it. He put the money in for it and we picked the setting for color and the border that said "dumb and dumber". We smiled for the first one, made stupid faces for the second one, he hugged me in the third one and I just smiled, and for the last one we looked at each other as if we were crazy. Since two printed out, I kept one and he kept the other. After that, we went out to his car so he could drive me home. In the car, we talked a lot. We talked about how the summer was going to be and that we should hang out a lot. I agreed to it and we planned that on Tuesday we'd get a bunch of friends before everyone went on vacation and camp out on the beach all day. As soon as I got home I called Anne.
   "Hey Kara!" She screamed into the phone.
   "Hey oh my God do I have a story for you," I chuckled. "So you know how I told you that John asked me to go to the movie with him tonight and I agreed to it?"
   "Yeah, what happened?!" She said.
   "Well before the movie started he told me that he really liked me and he wanted to know if I felt the same way and I just told him I don't know because I really didn't at the time but then during the movie I really thought about it and I think I like him..." I trailed off so she could say something.
   "Aww! That's so cute!" She said in admiration. "So did anything happen after?"
   "Yeah, like half way through the movie he put his arm around me and then kissed my cheek. I shifted the other way though because I don't want him to know I like him," I answered.
   "HAHAHA" She laughed into the phone.
   "Shut up! I really don't know what to do Anne!" I said back. Anne, for whatever reason, was an expert about boys and knew what they like and all that sh*t.
   "Well first of all, since you know he likes you and you like him back, you have to like keep it chill between you guys. Don't lead him on or anything but when he tries to talk to you and stuff obviously you should answer and I don't know, maybe try to flirt a little?" She always had the best advice.
   "Thanks hun! Oh yeah, by the way do you have any plans for Tuesday?" I asked.
   "Nope, I'm free like most of the week, except when I have to work. Ugh." She said.
   "Good, you're coming to the beach with me and John. Invite anyone you want I don't care who comes, just as long as you're there," I replied, laughing a little.
   "Sounds good, see you then! Love ya! Bye," She said.
   "Talk to you later, love ya too!" I hung up the phone and fell onto my bed. My phone buzzed, incoming text:
   John. I opened it and read it.
   John: I had a great time tonight, why didn't we ever do that before?
   Me: I did too, and maybe cuz I always rejected you when you asked (;
   John: Oh yeah, haha right. So I can't wait for Tuesday <3
   Me: It's not a date haha but same here. Anne can come and I told her to invite anyone she wants so yeah
   John: Okay, good. I gtg talk to you later (:
   Me: Alright, bye!
   I didn't want to flirt too much and lead him on, but at the same time I wanted to. I guess I don't know what
   I want to do. I was kind of tired so I decided to go to sleep. I fell asleep within a minute after my head hit the pillow.

   Chapter 2
   When I got home I was greeted by my mom who was sitting at the kitchen table reading a magazine.
   "How was your last day of school?" She asked, not looking up at me.
   "Same as every other day I guess," I replied, starting to walk up the stairs. "Mom, I'm going out with some friends tonight, I won't be out late." I yelled down the stairs.
   "Okay sweetie, have fun." I heard her yell back to me. I changed into capris, flip flops, and a nice-ish shirt. Okay, I admit I was a little nervous but it's not like we were actually dating or anything. I applied a little more makeup and laid down on my bed for a bit.
   I got a text from John: Pick you up at 8 :)
   Me: Okay, see you then ;P
   Since it was 6:30 I decided to eat something. There was left over pizza so I ate a slice of that and drank a glass of water. I went back up to my room and went on Facebook. I checked all my notifications and talked with Anne and some other random people saying that we should hang out this summer and stuff. I sat on my bed so my back was against the wall and read my book. Before I knew it, John was knocking on my door and we were off to the theater. We got our tickets and picked out seats. The previews were on so I decided to start a conversation with him. "So... have any plans this summer?"
   "Only if you want there to be," he said smirking. "Hey, can I ask you something?"
   "You just did," I said jokingly.
   "No, seriously. I really like you Kara. I know I didn't have a great history with girls in the past, but that's the point, it's the past. I've liked you all year and I really just want to know if you feel the same way about me," he said, looking into my eyes the whole time.
   I had to admit, I was flattered and my heart started racing. I didn't know what to say. I just sat there for a bit and then said, "I don't know, I guess kind of but I don't know, it's complicated. We're just really good friends though," I smiled at him. I didn't know what else to do. Finally, as if to save me, the movie started. I didn't really pay attention to it at all. I thought about John and what he had said to me and how I felt about him. I think I actually did like him, sort of? My thoughts were swirling around my head and I was lost in them. I finally decided that I did like John, but I wasn't going to tell him.
