least. I wonder what else he noticed. I wonder how long he watched me for. Did he watch me since the very first moment he saw me or did I give him a reason to believe that I looked at him as more than a teacher? Or was it because I never looked at him like the other girls do? The next time I see him I will get answers to these questions. I will find out why me and what his plans are for me.

5:00 P.M. Sierra’s party, October 23.
“The house looks great. Now we just need the guest of honor to hurry up and get home.” Damon and his mom have been decorating and getting the house prepared for Sierra’s 18 th birthday party. There are black and green balloons everywhere with streamers and glitter all over. The food is more like finger foods. There are chips, salsa, a vegetable and fruit tray, hot wings, nuts, and a bunch of other snacks and plenty of drinks. No alcohol because she’s not turning 21 but plenty of soda and punch. People have already started showing up. Mostly a few of her girlfriends from around school and their boyfriends. Soon Sierra will be here after cheerleading practice and I’ll be that much closer to confessing my feelings.
I’m nervous as hell. I’ve never told anyone I loved them. Not Damon, his parents, or even my mother for that matter and now I’m going to tell one of my best friends I’m in love with her. Just thinking about saying I love you aloud makes me start to sweat and my heart race. I feel like the walls are closing in on me and I can’t breathe. Surprisingly though, just thinking of me saying it to Sierra makes me feel calm. I know she’d understand my feelings because she feels them too. At least I think she does based on some of her entries that I read in her diary. That’s what makes it easier. I’m not professing my love to the only woman I’ve ever truly cared about without knowing she feels just as strongly. Had I not known that she loved me like I do her I might not have the courage to go through with this? I know I don’t usually care what other people think, but when it comes to Sierra, what she thinks and feels about me is important. That’s why I wrote down my feelings for her. I didn’t want to fuck up what I said so I spent a lot of time and went through a lot of paper writing down exactly how I feel so she understands the depths of my love for her. I planned to give it to her in private. I planned to leave it on her bed so that when everyone was gone and she is going to sleep she’ll see it and read it.
Damn it that’s stupid. Ok. I’ll give her the letter myself. Maybe I’ll read it to her. That’s romantic right? Yeah. That’s what I’ll do. I pat my back pocket checking to make sure the letter is still there. As I wait with Damon in the kitchen snacking on the food, I feel as if he knows my plans as he keeps glancing at me with a serious expression. But if he knew my plans then he would kill me. We stand at the counter munching on the chips before he turns to me with a stern expression.
“What’s up with you and my sister? You guys seem to be tense around each other lately? Did something happen?” Shit. He knows something. I could either play this with a lie which I never do or I could man up.
“We had a wild passionate kiss that I can’t get out of my head and I plan to profess my love to her tonight.” Truth it is. Now I need to brace myself for a fight.
“Ha. That’s funny. You’re funny. Like you guys would ever kiss. Seriously though. Did you guys get into a fight or something?” Ok. Well I told him the truth. Not my fault he didn’t believe it.
“Nope. I really don’t know why. But I plan to find out tonight.”
“Good idea. Oh and make sure none of our dumbass friends try anything with her just because she’s legal now so stay by her side the whole night. I have to leave a little early from the party to go get her gift so I can’t keep an eye on
