• Dear journal,

    It's me Ronnie again! I’m doing pretty well in my studies on being a Dentist. I recently got an award on my French class for best French speaker. Je ne peux croire que j'ai gagné ! Yippee! Which stands for, “I can’t believe I won! Yippee!” Well it just hit me that I started to think about my high school year. I had a flashback about the most amazing moment that just happened to me! I’m going to share it with you!
    We were at the beach for a three month school trip... Yeah, I know 3 months… They said it was for school purposes and I had to go. So I wake up one morning, and decided to make myself some of my mom's old fashion hot cocoa. Mhmm delicious! Its chocolate goodness makes it the best, and don’t forget the marshmallows! So I continued on making my great tasting hot coco dropping the marshmallows one by one in the cup of steaming cocoa made me feel at home... Oh yeah, it’s not home... Oh how I missed home... It was a three month trip... Even though, I still missed my family... Enough with the family talk... Let’s get on to the trip...

    I couldn’t really describe my feelings that time, because that time I wanted someone... Someone to be held by... It might be weird to say but it’s all true I did want to be held by someone...
    All of a sudden here comes my chance... The hottest junior in Jenson High School which I
    happen to have a crush on comes walking down the stairs... I glanced at him but he didn’t see me... He yawned like he hasn’t had sleep in a while... He walks over to me and stares... My heart was pounding like some bulldozer trying to break through my fragile body.
    He slowly gets closer and asks me, "What are you doing?" I whispered "Uh... making hot chocolate...Uh want some?" he nodded. I started making him some. Once he took a sip he spit it out and yelled "Hot!!!" I laughed hysterically. "That’s why it’s called hot coco!" I said laughing my butt. Then here comes Ashley strutting down the spiral stairs. In her tiny pink shorts and her black tank top that was too small to even fit. Her hair is all perfect, straight, and also her makeup is perfect. Everything about her is perfect! But not like me… Once she makes it over to nick, she’s all over him.

    “Nick!! I tried texting you last night! So we could sneak out of
    here and go to a club!” she nagged thinking she was all that. “I got your texts but I was trying
    to sleep but I couldn’t because you kept me up all night!” he pulled her off
    and looked at me. My heart was pounding out of my chest again. “Uh... I’ll
    just leave you two alone I guess...” I said depressingly as I grabbed my hot coco to go
    outside to the beach to watch the sun rise.

    10 minutes later I heard a door shut and feet walking in the soft sand. I didn’t bother to look behind me because how depressed I was. I was this close to actually being friends with Nick! I guess things got to be this way. I pause for a moment. The person sat next to me and I realized it was Nick. We were both leaning on a log and I looked up at him and I took a sip of my hot coco. I began to start a conversation, “Isn’t it beautiful?” I asked once I got the nerve to say something.
    “Yeah, just like you...” I blushed looking away. A moment of silence came up and all you here is the ocean and the seagulls chirping. I got cold and zipped up my blue jacket, pulled my legs close to my chest. Did I mention I was wearing yellow short pants?
    “Sorry about the Ashley thing...” he said quietly. I got up from my comfortable position and accidentally spilled my hot coco on my foot. The pain of the hot coco hurts so bad that I just had to yell out,
    “What is up with you and Ashley? You guys always break up and make up! It is so annoying! I can’t take it! To tell you the truth I liked you ever since 7th grade and all I see is you and her always cuddling and making out and— ” Before I could finish I was cut off by his kiss. It was so bliss I felt like fainting. His soft lips were touching mine just felt so right!

    After that amazing kiss I was speechless. He asked me, “Now what were you saying?!” I slapped his arm and giggled. He smiled at me and poked my nose. "Race you to the water!" nick laughed and ran. I then followed right behind him. We both laughed and splashed and had fun.

    I could see Ashley on the balcony just glaring at us. I was told by my friend Bailey that she overheard Ashley talking to herself, "Oh, if I had my hands on that… That...! THAT BRAT! I wish I could shred her up!!"

    Okay, now back to me and nick! As I was walking back too the log nick “accidentally” bumps me and falls right on top of me. Everything was silent but the sounds of the ocean moving... He stares into my eyes with a romantic face. His eyes looked like he was trying to say, "She’s the one!" He gently leaned over closer to me and kissed me gently on my soft lips. In my head I said to myself. "The first kiss was cool but the second kiss has to be the best...! He walks me to my dorm room in the beach house and when I shut the door my friend Bailey was all
    over me asking what had happened and how was the kiss. All I could say was... "Mama Meya!"
    Well there’s my flashback. I don’t know where Nick is now but we do still keep in touch. He promised to me that when we get out of college he’s going to marry me! I can’t wait! Well there’s the text! I’m meeting Nick at the Café see you later Journal!

    Sincerely, heart
    Ronnie
