Okay...as promised, heres my multi-part journal How Tyler Met Jackie hee hee...

Part 1
Okay, so...during my freshman year of high school, I was in one of the required computer classes. Our school used block scheduling and we only had two semesters with 4 classes each. It was the second semester, and I didn't really know anyone in the class. However, I was seated beside a cute rock/metalheadish girl named Lisa, who was a junior. She and I became fast friends, mainly because we had the same cynical additude and I could make her laugh pretty easily. After being friends for a while, she invited me to a party one of her friends was throwing. I think it was in late May, just before summer vacation. I agreed to go, even though I was the youngest person there. I've always been shy and pretty anti-social, so I stayed around the fringe of the group. While looking for a place to settle, I spotted a girl sitting on the floor with her back to the wall, looking pretty lonely, so I gathered my wits and sat down beside her and struck up a conversation. I found out she was Lisa's best friend, and her name was Jackie. There was an instant chemistry... I was very, very attracted to her for some reason. I'm still not completely sure why. After talking for about an hour or so, she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. She hadn't been feeling well that night, so was trying to stay away from all the drinking and drugs. Lisa hooked up with guy at the party and disappeared somewhere. It got pretty close to my curfew, and I was forced to wake Jackie up so I could find a ride home, but she offered to drive me and I accepted. Once we got to my house, she gave me her number. I put it in my pocket and headed inside. I changed into my sleep clothes and went to bed... then, when I woke up, Mom had taken all the laundry... Including the pants I had worn the night before... along with the phone number that was still in the pocket.

Don't you hate those cliff-hanger endings?

More to come soon...
