Personal Diary Entry; 10/20/2012
Dear Diary,
Something unexpected and wonderful happened yesterday. I went on my first date, had my first kiss, and now I have a boyfriend. His name is Lawrence. I've mentioned him before: the blond boy in my class who always ignored me whenever I tried to say hello that I was so nervous around. This semester we were assigned to be lab partners in chemistry class and he came to talk to me about a project we're supposed to do.
It was all so sudden and happened so fast. I was so surprised he came to see me, even more surprised when he asked me how I was. I was completely honest with him. I don't know what came over me but we got to talking. We're both involved in this demon and Persona business now. He had questions and I tried to answer them the best that I could.
But we kept getting off topic and before long, I found myself telling him things I've never told anyone else. Lawrence is a good person inside. I can feel it. Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to him. He's so warm. Talking to him felt better than painting has in a long time, even in the sun. Now is the time to talk to someone. I'm not sure why opening up to him was so easy or felt so right but I'm slowly learning not to question myself so much when I get like this. Some way, somehow, things have a way of working out for the best in the end.
After we finished talking, we held hands, went to the park, walked around, and talked some more. We wound up talking about us, how we felt about each other. We couldn't exactly avoid the subject considering what we were doing. Lawrence told me that he thought he was falling for me. I blushed the whole time. It was hard telling him how drawn to him I was but it was only fair. He blushed, too. We were quiet for a while after that until he asked me if I wanted to get something to eat.
We went to a cafe near the park. Lawrence doesn't seem to know many places around here. It might be fun to discover new places to go to. =)
After dinner, he walked me back to the dorm. We held hands on the way back. Lawrence kissed me goodnight on the steps. I think he's a good kisser, not that I have any previous experiences to compare it to. I wonder if it was Lawrence's first kiss, too? I didn't really know what I was doing but I think he liked it. He smiled at me and I couldn't stop grinning.
We parted ways after that, he to his dorm, and I went inside. It was almost curfew. I could help myself. I squealed in the lobby. I don't know if anyone heard me. I hope not. That would be really embarrassing.
I wonder if anyone saw us? I was so happy last night. It was a Friday night. I'm sure everyone was too busy to notice us. It doesn't really matter if they weren't, I suppose. We have no reason to hide and even if we did, it wouldn't be fair to treat Lawrence like some dirty little secret.
I guess I should put you away and work on my homework. I tried to earlier but couldn't focus so maybe now that I've written you, I'll be more successful.
I'd love to see Lawrence again soon. Maybe if there's time after the meeting, we could spend some together before it's time to go at eight. I wonder if he'll have any free time on Monday. I still want to spend time with Heather and Lester but maybe could eat lunch together or something that day. I don't want to be one of those girls who forgets her friends just because she has a boyfriend now.
Is it silly of me to think of Lawrence as an early birthday present? =)
