Hi again! This seems to be being read by about three people each time, but that's okay, I am letting everyone read as they want to! I love you all, and keep being faithful readers! Here goes:

Anne told Jimmy I liked him in order to get him to tell her if he liked me. AND HE DOES!
It’s just after dinner, and he is clean-up crew. Me, Cal, Anne, Clara, and this new kid, Mike are all sitting on these steps a little out of the way. They are right in plain view, but no one ever pays attention to them.
Anne asked Jim…I think it was during dinner. And he told her. BUT HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! Thankfully, he’s been trying to break up with her for a while, so I’m not stealing him from her. I would never forgive myself if I was.
Afterwards, we went outside and screamed at the top of our lungs like a bunch of crazed girls. Oh wait, that’s what we were. Never mind then.
Oh, dang. I just found out that Jimmy has music crew right after clean-up crew. He plays percussion, isn’t that hot? But the point is, I don’t get to talk to him. But he said that he would talk after the service.
Speaking of him, today, several times in fact, Jimmy stole my hat. I have a Tigers hat that Joe gave to me. Joe is one of the staff, and he also goes to my church. Jimmy is so big that he can hold the hat over his head, and I won’t be able to get it, and if he has it behind his back, I can’t dive for it on one side or the other, because he can just change hands and I won’t be able to get it. Eventually I just gave up and after he found that I wasn’t fighting anymore, he gave it back. Then about an hour later, he took it again! Oh, well.
HA! Anne just spazzed out and knocked over an empty cup. Thinking that it had stuff in it, she screamed.
Speaking of cups, I’m teaching Cal a cup trick. I learned it from my youth leader that went on one of these a few years ago. The instructions go like this: “Clap, clap. Bongo drums. Move the cup. Move it around and don’t mess up.” Unfortunately, Cal always messes up at that point. It really does look good when you see it done well.
GUESS WHAT! Anne likes Cal back! And I actually found out from Cal that he likes her too. Sadly, Anne doesn’t really know if she’s single or not. So even though they know that the other one likes them, they can’t do anything about it.
I’m going outside to explore with my new friends. I’m going to sign off now.

During the service, Jimmy kept turning around and smiling at me. The people in between us were looking at us really weirdly. And when we were singing and Jimmy was playing his make-shift drum set (consisting of a trash can for a bass drum, drum pad for snare and hi-hat, and a base-ball bat for cymbal) we would keep looking at each other and smiling. And these were shy smiles, not the ones where we’re cracking up.
We are downstairs in the cafeteria, and I don’t really know what we’re doing. OH! Jimmy just asked me for my phone number. I have said yes, and am trying to figure out how to work his phone. Oh. He said that I just need to type it in and he’ll save it. I’ve asked him for his number, too.
Jimmy just found out from his youth leader that he has 25 minutes left. The poor guy had to go looking for Jimmy just to tell him.
Jimmy has asked if I want to go on a walk for the last 25 minutes of the night. I have said sure and have to get going.

My grandpa says I shoud finish and call a publisher. As if! But, whatever. I wonder if the other main character will ever read this...*ponder* If he does, he'll probably be real mad. See ya!
