5th grade. It was my last year at my elementary school, and my favorite. We all know how crushes work right? Boy or girl you become obsessed with a person and you can't stop thinking about them. Even though it's not love and you may barely know them, your heart beats fast every time you see them or even just think about them. I had a boy that made me feel like this. His name was Will.
As a fifth grader, a crush wasn't my first priority. I focused more on making new friends in my new class and what was for school lunch. However on the first day of school, dressed in my pink skirt and fluffy white skirt, I sat in my chair and behold: Will. I waited to learn his name when we went around the circle telling our names. Since I was a weird kid I wanted to touch him. (Just so you know I don't do that anymore...). When he walked by I swiped his elbow and said sorry like it was an accident.
Later on in the year I told my friend Lilly that I liked Will and she, of course, told him I liked him. He then started siting by us and talking to us and playing four square with us. I didn't know at the time that Lilly told him so I just thought that he wanted to be friends. I didn't mind.
Lilly and Jaz told Will that he should ask me to the 'snowball dance.' He did but I declined because I knew that he didn't truly want to, he just did it to be nice. Besides, what would fifth graders do at a dance? They would just stand there awkwardly and rarely talk. I regret not taking Will up on his offer sometimes but I knew it would be stupid to even think about it.
By the end of the year the whole class, no, the whole grade knew about my crush on Will. He was super cute even though at the time he had a Bieber haircut. I never actually acted on my crush and me and him grew apart. I went to an art school for middle school and he went somewhere else. (He was going to go where I was going but he never showed up). Me and Will weren't the only people to grow apart, Jaz, Lilly and I grew apart also, we all went to different schools. It was sad but we weren't that good of friends anyways. Now I dont really like them at all because I heard from someone that Lilly went out with Will for a while.
