Last night was the first time that Ethan has shown any interest in something besides school work. But that something wasn't me.

Before our meeting, Nicole and I stopped in a Hallmark store and she bought a CD of piano music. She was looking at it in the coffee shop while we waited for Ethan and Andy to arrive. Ethan walked in and noticed the CD and started asking about it. They got into a long conversation about how she misses Josh and how she bought the CD because he's a piano player. It went on and on. I love Nicole, but I was hoping Ethan would take an interest in me - not in her and her CD.

I guess I'm going to have to work harder to get his attention. Tomorrow is our class and I am going to make sure to wear my blue sweater. It fits right in all of the right places and it makes my eyes pop. If that doesn't work I will have to remind myself of the golden rule: don't like guys who don't like you.
