March 26, 1998

Today at lunch, I sat with Erin, Shauna, and Melanie. They are really nice and cool. Even though they are not the most popular group, they aren't losers, and I think I like them a lot more than I liked hanging out with Lisa, Emma, Hannah, Catherine, Hailey, Kaylee, and all them. Let them have their own little "popular" group. Who cares? I don't need them. [That's the spirit!]

Jenna finally realized they don't like her, and so she's ditching them to bond with me. Also, even though they seem like best friends, Jenna and Erin hate each other. Of course, they don't know the other person hates them. But they both tell me.

Today in the hall near the art room, I saw Aaron. He smiled and said, "Hi, Emily." I said, "I'm mad at you." He said, "Why are you mad at me? Matt told me you said you hated me." I stared at him. "Matt told me that you said you hated me!" [Oh, that Matt. Always stirring up trouble.]

Zach walked by and Aaron saw him. He said really loudly to me, "I'll call you, okay?" I beamed. "Okay!" Aaron is so cool, that he would do that to make Zach jealous. But he didn't call.

In gym class today, Maggie said, "Zach is going to fight Scott after school!" I turned around and asked Zach, "Are you going to fight Scott?" He looked thoughtful. Then he said, "No, probably not. Maybe on Monday." [But it depends on my schedule. I have "Fight Scott" penciled in.]

I said, "Do it in the graveyard." He smiled. "Yeah! We'll fight in the graveyard after school on Monday." [I was full of good ideas.]

So Zach was actually being friendly towards me today. He thinks I'm the moody one. And maybe I am. Sometimes I fake being pissed off, and other times I act like a ditz, and sometimes I act all deep and mysterious, and other times I laugh hysterically at all his jokes. I'm so in love with him. [As demonstrated by my emotional instability.]
