My High School Crushes
When you look back to the days you're in high school, you'll remember the teachers who taught you, teachers who never taught you but oh so attractive, friends, schoolmate and of course, how you used to spend all day in that hellhole. But above all, you can never forget what got you through classes and made you come to school everyday. Your crushes.
I'm pretty sure everyone have had crushes. I've had quite a few, some I never know why i like them, some I don't remember, and some I can never forget. I'll say I have 3 major crushes, others not important (just put it this way).
Back in 2004, a few weeks into my first year, I've had my first major crush. I never really notice anyone around as I'm new to the surroundings, plus I have this problem with a female classmate of mine, who turns out to be a good friend. It was right before Chinese New Year when my class I/C Miss Lim picked some students for lantern making competition. Can't remember how many she picked, 4 or 5, but there was this guy, that girl, me and April. That was when we first met.
We got into conversation when she complimented me on my singing! (Yeah i used to sing every day, not so much now though) We talked a lot, talked non-stop and the moment I realized we were only communicating with each other is when my group was listening to our conversation. April and I hit off well, she made me feel something I had never felt before, something nice and warm, something I couldn't figure out at that point in time. What I know is I really enjoy being in her presence. I can;t recall anything about the lantern, who won or the CNY celebrations. All I know is I met someone I really like for the first time in my life.
Back from CNY break, April and I never really talked as we were not seated nearby. That was not for long though, as both of us were invited to a friend's birthday party. Let's not go into details on that, but I can say the I had the best day of my life. Then, we exchange phone numbers, SMS every night using my dad's phone, until I received my first mobile, which was the same model as hers. Other memorable days with April includes teachers' day, and that night when we chatted on phone till 2 plus, that time when my cousin Jonathan visited from Australia.
And came 2005, where my magical 2004 came to an end. Why? She has a boyfriend. I guess after all she only took me as another guy friend. This was when I went through my first heartbreak. The first few days were terrible, few weeks later still terrible. I know for someone to get over their past interest is to look for new interest. And I do find my new interest, but it was not until 2006 when it started getting serious. You see, it literally took me one whole year to get over and start anew.
2006, a brand new year, a brand new start. New classmate, long pants, and hey, new classmate! Anyone of interest? No. Ex-crush in same class? You got it. But it didn't bother me, at all. Because I've got a new crush. Of all the girls in school, I had to fall for her. She was also the crush that almost all my friends knew I had a crush on. Thanks to the nicknames some of them had for her. Miss R or R 小姐. Thanks to that, even some of the teachers knew.Something weird about this is, I never knew how she knows me, never knew how I got her phone number, her msn on and on... I never remember us talking face to face. Every time we walked into one another in school we just wave or say Hi and walk away. You know what's funny? I don't know exactly why I lost interest in her. All I remember was a few days before the school's Cultural Night, I ran around school asking if any performers were not using their free ticket as I'm helping her to gather tickets to the performance. Then, after the performance, I realized she's not the one. Maybe she's just someone to help me get over that first you know what. So, 2006 ends with me not having any crush.
My final year in high school, Year 2007. Lots of things change. My habits, my classroom(now with air-con) and my crush. Her name is June. She is cute and attractive, she seems perfect, yeah, and she is taken too. Bummer. She was in my English class, sitting in front on the right. Every English lesson I will tilted my head right, staring at her. I didn't tell anyone about my liking towards her as you know why.(bummer) But my friend who sits beside me during English class figure out anyway. He's a good friend though, didn't let out to any of the guys. As for June, I spent most of my time staring at her, not like what I did with April or Miss R. I did chat with her, casually during group discussion and stuff and that's all. She was the only one that doesn't know I like her. Time flies and it was soon graduation. It wasn't a great night for me, knowing this may be the last time you ever hang out with some of your high school friends, and the last time you'll ever get to see your crush. June was wearing this incredible purple dress. She looked so beautiful in purple. I took a picture with her, and supposed that will be my last with her too.
Through my school life, I'm always known for having crushes. I wonder if any of my schoolmates ever had a crush on me. I doubt it.
