i don’t hate february. i really don’t. i love all the months equally (though maybe i kind of like december a bit more) but sometimes, i just want to skip this month altogether. i’ve never been into the whole valentine’s day thing because i’m a dork. like last year? when people somehow managed to guess my locker combination and stuffed valentine hearts and little teddy bears and boxes of chocolate inside. i freaked out when it all came tumbling out - i’m pretty sure the janitor still hates me for having to clean up that mess. it was really embarrassing! and cook just laughed and laughed like it was the funniest thing ever. so not! anyway, i’ve always had bad experiences during february. cook gets really weird too. he’s actually popular so he receives plenty of gifts, real ones, and not the prank kind that i get. i can’t really explain it but cook becomes moody and well. i don’t know. i hope this february is better than last year.

had a weird dream. cook and i were contestants on a show called american idol or something and cook won and we went on a tour around the country and sometimes, at night, cook would - um, i think i’m still half-asleep. i better go running.

cook is trying to read what i’m writing right now. he always does that but i keep pushing him away, haha. ‘you write too much,’ cook is saying and well, it’s true. i like keeping a journal because it’s really surprising to read my thoughts about something that happened two weeks ago and stuff. lol cook keeps glaring at me. it’s awesome, having my best friend back. ever since he broke up with kim last year (who’s really nice, okay), he’s been around more. hmmm, cook never did tell my why they broke up. he said something like, ‘i realized she’s not the right person.’
does that mean he already has someone else he likes?

oh man, school was awful today. well, not the actual school part but cook got in trouble! oh my gosh, i still don’t understand why he got so mad and punched benton in the face. benton’s really cool and i thought they were friends. when i asked him about it (i waited for his detention to finish) cook seemed as if he was mad at me too, which i don’t get at all. benton called an hour ago and i apologized to him on behalf of cook and he just waved it away, as if having a broken nose isn’t a big deal. then he said he was wrong in the first place, something about oblivious people and people who should just confess already and um, can this get any more confusing?
9:56 pm
apparently, it can. cook just sent me a text:
cook: hey arch, sorry about earlier. sorry about benton too. even i was surprised at how jealous i got. milkshakes tomorrow at the diner? my treat.
um, what?

my dreams are starting to get really weird and i’m acting funny because of it but i honestly can’t look at cook after…oh my heck!
february 10
10:30 am
i’m at my free period and cook snuck into study hall. he really should stop skipping ms. abdul’s class. he’s just confident that ms. abdul has a soft spot for him. anyway. he’s pretending to read through my copy of ‘the importance of being earnest’ while passing me notes, lol.
cook: are you doing something later?
me: i have choir practice
cook: i mean later, after choir practice
me: no
cook: want to watch a movie?
me: on a school night?
cook: it’s friday, archie.
me: well, okay. i’ll ask my mom when i get home.
cook: great, it’s a date! :D
cook is grinning at me and i can’t help but smile back. it’s the easiest thing to smile at cook.
oh right. i should start studying now, haha.
9:14 pm
oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!! cook he during the movie and i was and it cook my hand and he said and i couldn’t say anything and it was dark i cook he gave me a KISS on my my oh my gosh!

mom asked me if cook was coming over. i nearly dropped my juice and now she thinks something is up. we didn’t have a fight. i think. it’s just…
february 12
3:03 am
i can’t sleep. i’ve been avoiding cook all day: no phone, no twitter, no anything. i don’t know what to think or even do. i can’t face cook yet. if ever? oh gosh.
february 13
2:43 am
another late night...or early morning, i guess, and i have school in a few hours. i’ve been thinking nonstop all day; about cook, about me, about both of us. i’m pretty sure it wasn’t a joke (how can a kiss be a joke, anyway?) and i don’t know, cook likes me? more than a friend? i’ve been remembering all the times we spent together for hints and either i’m way too clueless or he’s just too good at hiding them.
is…is that why he and kim broke up? because cook…likes me?
i, how do i feel about that? cook is my best friend. he’s one of the most amazing people i know. he’s so talented and kind and funny and he’s always been there for me. in some ways he’s like a brother um, no, let’s not go there. and i can’t even say that i haven’t thought of him that way. remember my dreams? they’re, gosh, i think my subconscious has been telling me what i should have known all along.
cook and i need to talk. tomorrow, um, later.
3:14 am
i like him.
