 "November 6, 1996 Dear Yraid, Craig was back in school today. At lunch I sat at our every-other-day-table. At our every-other-day-table, I sit with Craig, Jaime, Doug, & Doug M. Here’s how we sit: sometimes Lianna sits with us. She sits in between me & Jaime. Doug M was scaring Craig so Craig kept moving closer & closer to me. At the end of lunch, we were sitting really close together. Doug broke my lunchbox today. Craig called me today. We talked for about 25min. I could talk forever with him! But Mom doesn’t let me stay on very long. –Krista”
Craig was out "sick" for our first two school days as a couple. Suspicious. DUH KRISTA! Don't be too surprised that your boyfriend may like you. You don't have any reason to doubt that... that is, unless you had to BEG him for weeks to go out with you... and he skips the first two days of school in your relationship. Hm.

“November 5, 1996 Dear Yraid, Craig still wasn’t in school today. I called him after school! He said he’ll be back in tomorrow. He’s giving me his picture & I guess I’ll give him mine (mine stinks, that’s why I said I guess). I think he likes me (WELL DUH KRISTA!). Okay, that was weird. I’ll see you! Krista P.S. We talked on the phone for like 45min! P.P.S. Today is exactly 1 month until my B-Day. I heart Craig! XXXOOO”
  Craig had such a way with words. "If you were dead, that would not be good" is pretty much the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me. Every girl lives to hear a guy say that to her one day.
I don't think I ever mentioned Ryan before this entry. That's because I didn't like him back, so he was of little concern to me. Instead I pursued a handful of other guys who didn't like me. So backwards.

“November 1, 1996 Dear Yraid, I LOVE having a boyfriend! It makes me feel special, appreciated and loved. Craig called me. I got his address & phone #. He has both of mine too. For awhile it was me, Craig & Doug talking 3-way. Cool! Me & 2 guys! Awesome. Me, Craig, Jaime, & Doug might go see Romeo & Juliet at Tinseltown tomorrow! Cool! Ahhhh! When I was on the phone with Craig, we were talking about me dying or something. Craig said, “If you were dead, that would not be good, not good at all.” He repeated that about 3 times. He really does like me! He knows just the way a girl wants to be treated and exactly what they want to hear. Today me, Craig, Jaime, Doug, & Lianna sat at a lunch table together. Cool! I’ve gotta go! Krista P.S. I know for sure that Ryan likes me because he admitted it twice! I heart Craig!”
  Sorry to ruin the surprise in the title (especially when I had gone through all that effort in the entry to build in suspense with the long string of periods), but this was obviously one of the most monumental days of my youth and I couldn't help announcing it prematurely.
When I was trick-or-treating with my friends that night, all I could think about was that I had a boyfriend. I was so giddy. I don't even think it was a feeling like, "I like this guy SO much, I'm so happy he's my boyfriend now!"... it was more like, "Holy crap! I can say I have a boyfriend now!" A boy, any boy, finally gave in!

“October 31, 1996 Dear Yraid, BOO! Happy Halloween! Today in Science, we were talking about Moe’s hair. Here’s how the conversation went: CRAIG: Your hair is ugly, Pippi Longstocking. MOE: Then why’s Krista allowed to wear her hair like that? ME: Because I look good in it. CRAIG: Ya. Whoa! Craig likes my hair. But today at 11:55 something unbelievable happened… Craig said YES! We’re going out! Boyfriend-girlfriend! Get the picture??? My first boyfriend! He couldn’t sit with me at lunch today because he had to make plans with Will about Trick-or-Treating tonite. He waited for me after school today. We walked out together. I gave him my phone # & he called me! We talked for about 20 minutes & then I had to go. Well, I’ll be seeing you! Krista I heart Craig!”
