KRISTEN
I’ve only had a CRUSH on Brian since forever. Of course, I would TOTALLY DIE if he ever found out. I know he just thinks of me as a friend.
That’s why it’s cool that Mike asked me out. Now I have someone else to crush on--AND I get to stay friends with Brian.
PERFECT!
BRIAN
Kristen is so SWEET and SMART and POPULAR. I don’t get it.
Why do the best girls always go for the JERKIEST GUYS?
“Mike Kalv,” Kristen repeated brightly. “He wants me to go to a dinner party.”
This has to be a mistake, I thought. This doesn’t make any sense. “You mean, the Mike who was with us in the car last night?”
Kristen rolled her eyes. “Is it impossible to believe that he might want to ask me out?”
“I didn’t mean that,” I said quickly. “Kristen--what--what’s the dinner party for?”
Kristen bit her lip. “I’m not sure. Maybe it’s some kind of award night? It’s a fancy dinner for the whole wrestling team.”
I closed my eyes. This conversation was going from bad to worse. He actually did it. Mike actually asked Kristen to the Doggie Chow dinner. Didn’t he realize that Billy and I were only kidding about how gross Kristen looked last night? How could Mike do this to a friend of mine?
