This is a book I plan to write about any guys (both normal and famous) that I have or had crushes on. They most likely won't include real names except if they're a celebrity. Enjoy!
This will be a sort of continuation of the how we met portion.
At the time I don't think my young self understood what liking someone FOR REAL was like.
Yeah I thought he was decent looking, sure. Although looking back on it, I don't think I ever really liked him in THAT way. At that age though I'm sure I thought I did. Now, one day we were all playing and lunch had ended so we had to go back inside and my two other friends went inside ahead of us.
One had went to the bathroom and the other went to grab a good table so we could all eat together. This left Nelson and I to walk back together. I don't remember EXACTLY what we were talking about, but I do rember talking about things we liked.
I was walking along the curb on the path/trail/sidewalk thing and he was walking on the sidewalk. He would say something he liked and then I'd say something I liked and we did that until he said "I like you". Back then I thought he meant in a friendly way and I said it back.
In response he shook his head and said something like "No I mean I LIKE LIKE you". At the time I used to watch Hannah Montana and stuff so I then understood what he meant. So I told him that I did too (even though I really didn't) and he smiled and he held my hand the whole way to the lunchroom.
Fast forward to about a month later and most of the kids in our age group in the camp thought we were dating. At that age I had never dated before (Obviously -_-). I had seen what dating was like all the time on tv, but I knew very well that I wasn't experiencing what that was. After hearing this, I asked those kids where they'd heard that and they said that Nelson was telling everyone that I was his girlfriend.
Which I'm pretty sure I don't remember agreeing on being his girlfriend to begin with. Nor do I remember being asked to be his girlfriend in the first place. So when I finally got the chance, I confronted him about it. To which he explained that he thought me telling him I liked him made us boyfriend and girlfriend (Kids man -.-). At the time I wasn't as skeptical as I am now and didn't think twice about it before actually agreeing to be his girlfriend because to my young self because it "sounded nice".
As a result our "relationship" lasted the rest of the summer and I don't really remember much about it so I can't really elaborate on it. What I can say is that it must've meant SOMETHING to me. I say this because I at the time I live in Queens ( A burrow in New York for those who don't know) and he lived in Brooklyn (Another burrow in New York). Due to the distance we wouldn't be seeing eachother until next summer. This kind of gave me more of a reason to want to go to camp that next summer.
Now, come next summer, my friends that were friends with Nelson outside of camp told me that he wouldn't be coming back this summer. After hearing this, I was disappointed and a little bit hurt, but I didn't let it bother me. It didn't really bother me until I saw him in the park near the community center that we all used to play in.
When we all went down to our normal place in the park Nelson was there with his younger brother and some other kids I didn't recognize. So me being my old self--which was very friendly-- I waved to him and his brother. Instead of receiving two waves back, I got ignored. I know they saw me and I didn't really understand why they ignored me. Come to find out he "didn't like me anymore" and he apparently had a "new girlfriend". I eventually learned this from my friends at camp that go to school with him.
This had PISSED me off because I didn't really want to be with him in the first place, but I gave him a chance, got invested and then dropped like a hot potato. I eventually go over it and forgot about him and his existence for a while. I'm pretty sure I've coped VERY WELL!

Anywho, I've forgotten about him and plan to for a very long time. This is all I have to say about Nelson and will ever have to say about him. On to the next one!
