she was young when she first experienced the feelings
...the feelings of an innocent crush.
she had met him through mutual friends,
through competitive card games and killer-hallway zombies,
and for once in her life,
away from her parents
and the bad influences of her so-called friends back home,
she realized that she enjoyed the way she felt
when he looked at her,
she enjoyed the feelings of his admiration,
and she didn't ever want to leave him,
...but, of course, she had to.
