There was a new student in our class.

His name is Josh, isn't it?

From the very first day, I knew Josh and I could get along. He seemed pretty bright, if not a little on the deaf side and a bit too loud, and he was pretty good at math.

You could consider him my rival, except that we're not slitting each other's throats. He can be really funny at times, and I could never seem to beat him at Addition, which sucked for me because I had considered myself a good player on that game.

Josh was actually pretty cute too, when he smiled. He wore braces that would make several people look ugly, but he carried off that look pretty well.

But here's the thing that annoys me the most about Josh - he sticks to me like I'm his boss, or something like that. He almost always never leaves my side.

I don't know if that means he likes me, but I hope not. If he does like me, then I'm sorry, but my heart is already taken. By you, of course. Who else?

I don't know if you get jealous, the same way as I do, but I at least hope I invoke a feeling in your life. If not, well then, I guess I'd have to get used to feeling like trash.

Oh. And one more thing, Parker?

Josh is preventing us from seeing each other after class hours, just the two of us. That's the thing I hate about him most.
