The wrong people hold you down.
But the right people lift you up.
And that's how I feel the next day.

I don't want this evening to end. I want to stay here talking with him, because somehow, I'm enough for him, and it's nice, not feeling the pressure to impress, or be someone different, or be constantly worrying about whether I'm saying yes to life enough.

Maybe Freddie is doughnuts. That's what I am. Maybe, like Jasper says, I just need to embrace that. There are worse things to be, so actually, I think I should embrace this doughnut, since the doughnut is me, and I am the doughnut.

I love that he thinks that about me; that I'm OK as I am.
I think Ruby was saying a similar thing the other day. I don't know if I believe either of them, but it makes me feel better about myself.

There are no stakes with Jasper. We both hated each other, so things can never get worse than that. And there's zero chance we'll ever end up together, since he's got model good looks and is about to become a huge movie star, and I can't even get a bit part in the school show.

It's great to know that Zach's antics are so common they've become a verb. Zached. To be led on and royally screwed over by a boy you really like.

The Freddie Project has yielded incredible results in a matter of days... I'm sure it's going to come good again very soon;
I've just gotta give things a chance.

Maybe I just need to slow down, relax a bit and let the course of true love wend its romantic way.

"I like you." He shrugs. I feel myself blush. I don't know what to say. I'm so out-of-this-world ecstatic that he's said that, so desperate not to mess up by saying the wrong thing, and so... embarrassed? I think?

He's worried he's going to let me down?
Oh god. That boy has no idea.

"Hey, fancy seeing you here!"
I turn, and there's Zach. Gorgeous Zach. Eyes alive and sparkling.

I turn and come face-to-face with a boy so mesmerizingly gorgeous,
if he was for sale on Amazon he would have five solid stars.

I suddenly feel like some street urchin with his nose pressed up against the pie shop window, wishing he could taste all the good things that the lucky people have. Things... have to change.
Maybe... I have to change.

I bow my head to avoid eye contact as two very glamorous girls and a cosmically pretty boy squeeze past us. Who are all these kids, and why don't they go to my school?
