I Love Jake Larson

Dear Diary,

Hey. So, I decided to start a diary. I would like to thank my best friend and cousin, Lindsay, for the inspiration. I guess I should introduce myself first. My name is Lucy and I am 14 years old. I live in an enormous house on the water in Connecticut with my entire family. That includes my mother, brother, sister, five of my first cousins, 2 aunts, and 2 uncles. That makes thirteen people living under one roof. It's a lot of people, sure, but there is never a dull moment, let me tell you!

Right now, I am so in love with my cousin Jack's friend, Jake Larson. Every time he comes over the house, he always flirts with me, I swear. Let's see, when I first fell for him, I was in the living room laying on the loveseat watching Karate Kid. Jake came in and I gave him the finger, trying to be funny. He smiled and leaned against the loveseat above my head and commented on the movie. I looked up at him and his face was right there looking down at me. We looked at each other straight in the eyes and the butterflies just started filling up my stomach. Now we have this cute thing with giving each other the finger every time he comes over. It sounds kind of stupid, but it is our little way of flirting.

The other day, Jake and Kevin and Rob Leighton (2 more of Jack's friends) came over with their bikes. Me and Linds were so happy. We went for our usual walks to the end of the street. When we turned around, they were heading our way. (This was about 9:30pm) Rob yelled “I'm blind! I can't see you!” and tried to run into Linds. Then Kevin tried to run her over. They were only playing, of course. Then Jake smiles at me and says “Say I won't”. It was a little inside joke that we had from a few days before. We both kind of laughed.

Now, Lindsay is in love with Kevin Leighton. She has been for 2 years now, only she never told me until recently. He used to be my cousin Jack's best friend and he would come over every single day. Now, Jack's best friend is this guy, Jason and now he comes over every day. Jason Tork. He is the most gorgeous guy on the face of the planet, but he is also the biggest asshole. I used to have a crush on him, and so did Linds, which I will explain another time.

Today, Linds woke me up. I had slept late. Jason was over and now I completely hate his guts. We were watching this movie Clueless and this song came on about being a supermodel. I was singing along and he looks at me and told me how ugly I am and that I need to lose weight and get a nose job and a face lift. As if I needed to hear that. I want him to leave so bad. Right now, I am sitting in my room until that happens.

For now,

Luv ya!

~Lucy~
