2.

A new year, a new grade and a new beginning. I'm now in 9th grade and am looking forward to this year.

"Amanda, are you ready?"

"Yes mom just a minute", I looked in the mirror for one last time and said to myself "You've got this Amanda, do your best".

I reached school and met my friends I gave them a warm hug, then walked towards our class.

I was walking with my friends and was so interested in their conversation that I didn't look ahead and bumped into someone, I apologised and looked up to see who it was and as fate had it, it was none other than Jonathan with his annoying grin again.

He looked down at me grinned once more, ohh how much I would love to make him regret about his annoying grin, he then bent down leaned in to my ear and whispered "be careful senior you might just fall" and stood straight to look at me, I rolled my eyes and said "you wish I would" and looked away, he grinned and said "Well I would love to" then leaned in to my ear to complete his sentence and again whispered "in love with you", he then looked at me to see how I would react and chuckled.

I rolled my eyes again and left, my friends teased me about it and I told them not to spout out nonsense. Our class started and we forgot about it. I focused on class with full concentration I wanted to secure the spot I had again this year.

During our lunch break my friends asked me if I wanted to go to the washroom since they were going, I said I'll wait for them here, so they left. I started writing some notes when someone sat next to me I looked and it was Josh a guy from 10th grade, I've had a crush on him since 2 years and he would help me with some of my problems I couldn't solve.

He turned to me and said "do you have any problems that you would like me to solve?" I replied "It's okay senior, thank you so much, you have been helping me since a really long time". He smiled, and said "C'mon Amanda you've known me for so long, just address me by my name". I looked at him and said "Okay, thank you Josh", he gave me a smirk. I thought to myself what was that about, my friends came back just then and Josh said "Okay Amanda see you later" he smiled and I smiled back and waved at him.

The entire day went well until school ended and I saw Jonathan outside our class, I passed by him but he held my hand and asked me to stop I asked him why he looked at me with puppy eyes and said "I need you to act like my girlfriend for a month".

I looked back in shock and said "Have you lost your mind?".

He said "listen to me this once the reason is...."
