Chapter 1:

How it all started.

A New Obsession: August 15, 2007, it was a great night to spend Brit’s birthday. We celebrated by going to Galaxy: me, Brit, Keyana, Mya, Tia, and two of her cousins. We spent all night at Galaxy, everybody was skating, except Keyana, and Brit’s cousins.

So then, the management at the skating ring, decided to pull out their orange cones, and make a dance floor, separating the rest of the rink, so other who weren't dancing could skate. As were all dancing, everybody was getting crunk. We even seen some cute boys that can dance, we seen some red, brown,and even sexy chico’s dancin’, even with some boys with pretty, gorgeous,long, soft hair.

Then, while dancing’, were all in a circle, dancin back to back, all of us, then I happened to see someone who went to my middle school, and he was so fine, he red, got hair, and--- can dress. Then everything started getting wild, some other cousins of Britnee’s were there and they were dancing with us, then these other clique of girls started bumpin into them, then into us, we tried not to mind, so we just moved, and found another spot to dance. So were having a good time again, well actually great! Now that the music was better than ever.

They were playing everything that we already made dances to, so we rotated over and got closer, and I seen the boy who was so familiar to me, and as i’m dancing with Tia, Keyana, and Britnee, he’s was seen watching me, walking everywhere, and as I think to myself...

“did he go to Crystal Lake?”, “he’s fine--- I wonder what school he goes to.” Hmmm...

As it’s time to go, the clique of girls, bumped, and pushed us again, so Brit’s cousins and us were mad, so as were walking outside, there’s police everywhere, and bunches of teens everywhere, to me Galaxy could be a teen club and skateway, so we reach outside and some of the girls from the clique was running off at the mouth, a whole bunch of trash, starting a big commotion, so as they said something to us we said something to them, going back-and- forth the whole time.

I’m looking around and I see the boy from my school, he nodded at me, so I smiled and nodded back, then Brit’s mom came got her and I, while Tia, Keyana, and Mya was picked up by Tia’s parents. Tonight was off the chain, crazy--- we all found somebody we could go out with and compared ourselves to... Oooh we were so lucky. So as I got home I had dreamed that we were still at Galaxy, except the dream was more exaggerating.

“Wow, tonight was crazy”, I speak with excitement. “I hope he goes to Ely, I really, really do”. And fell asleep.

School: DAY 1: It’s the first day of school, i’m a freshman, finally. To me I thought I was nervous, but it turns out that i’m not, and my hope dream came true .The boy from Galaxy goes to Ely! And last night I found out, he did go to Crystal Lake! And his name is Duane, Duane Carter, he’s a junior, and has the same lunch as me.

"Yay!", "I have great stories to tell."

Day Dream #1: Duane walking me home.

Me and Duane just started going out, school’s over, and he wanted to walk me home, so he did. Were both walking on the ragged, cement sidewalk, he’s walking on the right, i’m walking on the left, he’s holding my hand, and were talking, then he asks me “what middle school you went to?”

“I went to Crystal Lake”, I replied, then asked “what middle school you came from?”
“I came from there to”, he says. So I smiled and said “Oh my gosh”, “are you seroius?”, asking with happiness, and he said “yup.”

So I decide to grab hold of his arm, while were walking, and continued talking. Finally we’ve reached my house, we walked through the gate, the door was ajar, so my little sisters were home, so i told him “hey i’m coming back, i’m just going to put my bookbag in the house, alright?”

“yea”, he said, then left, and walked off.

“C.C’s home”, I yelled.
“Crystal”, they shouted
“Crystal, I got an A on my spelling test”, says one of them, and “Crystal, can you help me with my homework”, says the other. “Later”, I tell them.

I called my mom, letting her know I was home, then I went outside and walked by the park, there was Duane sitting under the pavilion, I guess waiting for me, so as I walked over there, he stood up, and hugged me, then we sat down, him between my legs, then started talking, after that I kissed him on his right cheek, and hugged around his neck, faces together, touching--- spending time together, for the first time with each other.
