I wake up at 7:15 AM getting ready for the first day of prison, I mean school. I was as exited as you would be to go to disney land. Little did I know this first day of school would lead me into a downwards spiral. I jolt out of bed falling hitting my face on the carpet floor. I quickly get up and run to eat, I return to my room to grab the clothes I layed out the night before to make a good impression. I gel my hair up and go watch t.v while still haveing and hour left til school. On the t.v I see a man. A woman starts flirting with him in a club. Then this man says, "sorry I'm taken."

"Oh come on~! She doesn't need to know.~" the woman replies.

Then I will never forget what happened next. A man walked behind the first man hands him a drink and says "hey babe, let's go home." As they proceed to do so.

Just as that scene came up my father turned off the t.v and said we need to go to school with 30 minutes to spare.

When I walk into class I get assigned to this table with this one boy. His name was Johnathan.

We hung out everyday at school and became best buddies. Every morning I would try extra hard to look nice in the hopes that he will notice. I looked forward to seeing him everyday. I was sad when we had to say goodbye. when he complimented me I got a thousand little butterflies in my tummy.  one day we shared a mat for nap time. I couldn't sleep as his hand fell into mine.  That day after school when my mom picked me up she asked if i had a crush on anyone

"yep!" I say jittery

"Ooooh who is it?" My mother says intrigued

"Johnathan." I say in a love filled voice

She pulled over. she unbuckles herself gets out of the car and brings me out of it, the then proceeds to scold me with harsh words I didn't even undersatnd as a kid. Saying how a man doesnt belong with a man and how god created no one that way. A tear is shed as I get into the car. I talked to him less and less repressing my feelings for him. Though we knew each other well into the future. But we never hung out at recess. The most interaction I had with him from then on was a simple smile and hello. I never once saw a man with a man on t.v again while under that house.
