Dear Margaret

How it all began

Just to give you a taste of how it all began, I was really young, and so was she. If you don't already know, she is the same age as that of me. So I was about 9 years old. Yep that's really young but love has got no age( at least that's what I believe). She was the same class as me and I used to come to school just to look at her. There was a guy sitting beside me who thought that he was my best friend when he really wasn't. He wouldn't leave, if I tried to change my place so would he. So I was stuck with him. I used to usually sit in the last benches because I am a tall person. The tallest in the class at the time. The guy, David, was also almost my height.

      One day, casually he asked ,"Which girl do you like from our class? ".
Well I didn't really know what to say, I had a few crushes sometimes but they lasted for 0.3 seconds so nothing was serious as such. So I just told him that I didn't like anyone. He kept bothering me about it . Well I didn't know Margaret back then coz it was the first time that me and her were in the same class. She was on a leave for about a month or so. I don't know for what reason. But when she returned, I saw her , and I don't know what happened to me , but that moment... It's still fresh in my mind , it happened about 8 years ago and yet it's still fresh in my mind.

     That feeling is undescribable. I felt like I had found the perfect girl. I am gonna be honest, she really wasn't one of the prettier girls in the class at the time, but somehow, it was her that I liked.
   
      I had another friend, Ben. He was pretty close to me and we used to meet everyday. So I told him about my crush. He was like yeah whatever. I mean I really didn't care about it too much either. But I used to casually, just look at her during the classes. You know, the usual things. But the biggest mistake that I did , was that I told David about her. I thought he would keep it a secret. Well he didn't. The news spread like wildfire, but when I got into the fifth grade it stopped. It was because she wasn't in my class that year. Fast forward to another year because nothing really happened this one year.
