They changed the name last year to TAP: Teacher Advisory Period. I mean, we’re in high school, not fourth grade.” You look like you’re about to pass out or something.” Just, if I had to pick someone in this room-” I hoped nothing like that would happen with Amber. When she finally worked up the nerve to ask her friend to ask me to ask her out, I politely said I wasn’t interested. I never got the chance to find out what foods the rest of my body parts reminded her of. They’re filled with purple goop and covered with white frosting and rainbow sprinkles. Not blue like a sparkling sky or a shimmering ocean, but blue like pop-tarts. According to Didi and her misplaced affections, my eyes are like blueberry pop-tarts. She left love notes in my locker, telling me how cute I was. At the beginning of the school year, I made the mistake of smiling at Didi Anderson, and she developed a crazy girl crush on me. The last thing I needed was some girl chasing me around again. She seemed all right, but I hoped Mike wouldn’t try and play matchmaker. “Shh! Would you keep it down?”Īnd that’s when I panicked and said her name: Amber Owens. I started to say, “No one,” but it came out in a stutter. He was also into cheerleaders, and I definitely wasn’t. Even though he was into sports, and I wasn’t. But if I had to pick someone, I guess it would be Ben. No one did, and I planned to keep it that way until I left for college. Ben Olson caught my eye, but I didn’t dare say his name. When he asked me whose name I was hoping to get for the Secret Santa gift exchange, I looked around the room and weighed my options. Mike didn’t usually bug me about girls, so it caught me off guard. I don’t know what made me do it - what made me say her name. May all your sock monkey dreams come true.
