during gym one day, in december, i was talking with a few guys. one of them called me double AA battery, since my initials are AA. and he said i am his best buddy whos initials are A.M.A! and since im the gum girl, that was why..and this guy named kurt asked me for gum after gym and the 2 other guys said he would get caught with gum. i was sort of friends with kurt at the time, since i give him gum. and me being stupid, i listened to them and didnt give gum to kurt. then one day march, in math class, my teacher decided to put me in the front with kurt sitting right behind me...imean we had talked occasionally in the beginning of the year, before i started giving him gum..anyways, he was talking to someone behind him, when i heard kurt say, "youre awesome!" and i turned around and said, "what about me? im awesome, im the gum girl!" and kurt said, "no, you dont give me gum." so i got a little irritated so i said, "you want gum? here." and i gave him a piece of gum. and ever since my math teacher put me in front of him, i started being friends with him. and slowly, ever so slowly, i started to like him. i didnt realize it yet, though. we always had fun during math, and i would always draw smiley faces in his notebook and he'd always make it what he called "evil." it was probs a few weeks later that i realized i liked him. and one day, he asked me to make a ninja star for him, because he wanted one, so i made a few. he put it in the front cover of his binder. and one day, he took out a ninja star to show my friend kristine(she was in his art class) and she took it and threw it across the room.. i found out later,while talking to both of them. she said (as a joke), "why didnt you make me a ninja star, youre so mean!" and kurt said, "no, amanda's not mean!" it made me smile that he stood up for me! (even if my friend was joking) and later in the conversation, kristine was telling me the story of what exactly happened in art class. and since she threw the ninja star across the room, kurt got mad at her. and she said, "kurt's so mean!" and since he stood up for me, i said, "noo, kurt isnt mean!" and the next day during lunch, i told kristine that i like him and she said that hes gay. but i know hes not, i got to know him really well. and apparently, a bunch of people dont like kurt that much, but i saw right through it and got to know and like him. anyways, then the last day of school came around, and we were in our homeroom class, signing yearbooks. me, kristine, and kurt were in the same homeroom. and i signed a mojority of the people's yearbooks during homeroom. and being the way i am, i was too scared for some reason to ask kurt to sign my yearbook, even though just the day before, i was laughing with him during math.. then came the time where we could leave and sign yearbooks with the rest of our grade in the lunchroom, after the first 45 min of staying in homeroom. i went around signing yearbooks, talking with friends, and giving out the last of my gum before summer started. and around 10am it was time to go back to homeroom (we got dismissed at 10:25) and i was walking out the lunchroom when this guy named austin asked to sign my yearbook. so we exchanged signatures. well it just so happened that kurt passed by and asked austin to sign his yearbook. and i looked at kurt, and said, "oh! kurt!" then muttered under my breath, "i forgot" and then said, "you didnt sign my yearbook, sign mine!" And kurt just glared at me, without saying a word. my smile went away, and i turned around and started walking back to homeroom. i got back and i saw kristine, and we took last day of school pics. she posted one of them to fb, telling me i need a pic of myself. (im not supposed to have a fb, so my first name was Amy on fb). anyways, summer started and i was kind of sad. then i got mad, convincing myself that i didnt like him anymore, but i still liked him.
