When I was in eighth grade I had a crush on a girl that didn't know I
existed. I remember always taking the long way to certain classes so I could
pass her in the hallways. I would attempt to make eye contact but must have
looked pretty creepy as she would immediately shift her gaze. I tried to
take advantage of the rare occasion she would peek in my direction, but they
were usually followed by a quick turn of her head to avoid me.
A few weeks ago I was at a restaurant and that girl I had a crush on over 50 years ago just happened to be sitting in the booth across from me. I avoided eye contact with her while we ate our meals. When it was time for me to leave, I got up and glanced at her.
Our eyes met. I smiled. She turned away. I guess somethings never change.
