True Believer

" Jittery at the bus stop with him,
or in the elevator
or walking into school with him,
sneaking a look sideways at him,
words coming out of my mouth clumsy
and my armpits sweating:
Is that perfect?"

This is a part in the book when LaVaughn is crushing on her old best buddy from a long time ago. Jody, the  boy she is crushing on is a swimmer and seems like he is crushing on her, the same way Jody feels about him. LaVaughn, the only child who just lives with her mother, and has two best friends but they are starting to get separated for she doesn't want to join the Jesus club with them. I think in the next parts of the book, she will grow closer to her friends and maybe be with her new and old friend Jody.

This pictures shows how LaVaughn and Jody aren't that close, but want to become closer, for they both like each other.
