Middle school is what set the precipice for my life. Seems dramatic, but it was where I truly fell in like with my current boyfriend.
Middle school was an interesting time. It was many things, but at the time, I thought that the cirriculum was so different. I had such a difficult time in there that I thought I was going to fail, to be honest.
Most of my reason for not focusing was because I was being bullied really bad at the time. There was this boy, he had ADHD and he was just the rudest person. He'd call me names and make up lies about me, but he crossed the line in seventh grade when he groped me.
We were in health class, talking about the documentary we were watching and all of a sudden he just reached up and touched my boobs. I was very uncomfortable, but I just brushed it off. He was special needs (ADHD, bipolar disorder and hyperactivity), I figured that his mental state was the reason why he did it and that he didn't fully understand the concept of what he was doing.
Throughout that school year he continued. Touching my breasts, patting my ass and just touching me in general. I felt very uncomfortable, but I never said anything to anyone other than my best friend. She tried to protect me the best she could, but it wasn't enough.
I endured throughout all of middle school with his inapropriate touching. To this day, I still hate it when people squeeze my knees. It's something he used to do a lot and it makes me shriek everytime someone touches me there. Sometimes Matt, my boyfriend, does it, but he doesn't know why I shriek. I never told him.
But speaking of Matt, here comes the best part of middle school; meeting him.
In hindsite, I actually met him in sixth grade, but middle school was where we truly became aquainted. In our school, sixth grade is still part of the elementary and middle school starts in seventh grade.
I remember that the first day of school, I had smacked Todd for saying something stupid and at the time Matt was Todd's best friend, so Matt stuck up for him and I said some smart ass comment and suddenly both Matt and Todd were scared of me.
That's okay, though.
Our relationship truly took a turning point in ninth grade.
