We've talked a lot since the first day we met.  Casual conversation mixed with bits of flirtation.  I'd grown to like Zale more than I thought I would.  He's nice and sweet and really funny.  We talk via instant messenger when we're not at school.  But, even with the use of words and emoticons it's hard to convey feelings through a screen.  One day while we were talking he asked me out.  I said no.  I so desperately wanted to say yes because I really did like him.  But, I couldn't.  My problem was the typical fifth grader dating problem.  I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend.  I didn't want to tell him that because I was a little embarrassed of it.  So he asked over and over and time after time I had to say no.  Finally I said yes but told him it had to be a secret.  He agreed.
