The Date (Another Greg Heffley Love Story)

August 27, 2013…

Here's Gina, and she's now 13 years old, and guess what? She just started 7th grade. Also, She goes to Westmore Middle School Columbus, Ohio now. At lunch at Gina's new school today, she and her best friend, Holly Hills, were talking. They were just getting their lunch, and when they got their lunch and sat at the table, they continued talking.

Gina : "Greg is really nice to me."

Holly: "Oh, that's good."

Gina : "Yup. Hardy har har."

Holly laughed.

Gina : "So Holly, how are you?"

Holly: "I'm great, Gina. How are you?"

Gina : "Awesome!"

The Next Day...

Gina  was getting stuff out of her locker. When she was done, Greg went up to her.

Greg: "Hi, Gina."

Gina:  "Hey, Greg."

Greg: "Do you want to go out with me sometime, girlfriend?"

Gina : "Yes, boyfriend."

Greg: "Gina, do you remember when you were 12 and we made out on an airplane?"

Gina : "Yes."

Greg: "Good memory. Yeah, you're 13 now, right?"

Gina : "Yeah yeah."

Bryson: "Hey Gina, do you want to go out with-"

Greg: "SHUT UP, BRYS! SHE'S MINE!"

Bryson walked away in tears.

Gina : "Yeesh! Just can't stand that annoying boy."

Greg: "I know."

Gina : "He's not handsome to me, either."

Greg: "Yeah."

Gina : "What is up with boyfriends and girlfriends these days?"

Greg: (softly, "I don't know. Some tweens and teens don't want crushes, though.")
