just　scoot　up；　too；　or　lean　over　a　little　farther　and　sniff…sniff…sniff。

I　finally　asked　Mr。　Mertins　to　move　me；　but　he　wouldnt　do　it。　Something　about　not　wanting　to

disturb　the　delicate　balance　of　educational　energies。

Whatever。　I　was　stuck　with　her　sniffing。　And　since　I　couldnt　see　her　perfectly　penned

answers　anymore；　my　grades　took　a　dive。　Especially　in

spelling。

Then　one　time；　during　a　test；　Julis　in　the　middle　of　sniffing　my　hair　when　she　notices　that　Ive

blown　a　spelling　word。　A　lot　of　words。　Suddenly　the

sniffing　stops　and　the　whispering　starts。　At　first　I　couldnt　believe　it。　Juli　Baker　cheating？　But

sure　enough；　she　was　spelling　words　for　me；　right　in　my

ear。

Julid　always　been　sly　about　sniffing；　which　really　bugged　me　because　no　one　ever　noticed

her　doing　it；　but　she　was　just　as　sly　about　giving　me

answers；　which　was　okay　by　me。　The　bad　thing　about　it　was　that　I　started　counting　on　her

spelling　in　my　ear。　I　mean；　why　study　when　you　dont　have

to；　right？　But　after　a　while；　taking　all　those　answers　made　me　feel　sort　of　indebted　to　her。

How　can　you　tell　someone　to　bug　off　or　quit　sniffing　you

when　you　owe　them？　Its；　you　know；　wrong。

So　I　spent　the　sixth　grade　somewhere　between　unfortable　and　unhappy；　but　I　kept

thinking　that　next　year；　next　year；　things　would　be　different。

Wed　be　in　junior　high　—　a　big　school　—　in　different　classes。　It　would　be　a　world　with　too

many　people　to　worry　about　ever　seeing　Juli　Baker　again。

It　was　finally；　finally　going　to　be　over。

Flipped

The　first　day　I　met　Bryce　Loski；　I　flipped。　Honestly；　one　look　at　him　and　I　became　a　lunatic。

Its　his　eyes。　Something　in　his　eyes。　Theyre　blue；　and

framed　in　the　blackness　of　his　lashes；　theyre　dazzling。　Absolutely　breathtaking。

Its　been　over　six　years　now；　and　I　learned　long　ago　to　hide　my　feelings；　but　oh；　those　first

days。　Those　first　years！　I　thought　I　would　die　for　wanting

to　be　with　him。
