because people move on.

chapter 3...

we entered into the whole new world of junior high. and along with junior high came a whole new array of people. i still liked him. but we didn't have any classes together, we had different groups of friends, and i figured with all these new girls he had probably completely forgotten about me. we talked a little at the beginning of the year, but after about a month we didn't talk at all. i moved on and liked other guys but of course always ended up back at him. even though we may never have talked, i still liked him. on yearbook day after not talking for pratically a year, he came up and asked to sign my yearbook. he gave me his number and wrote lets hang out, i of course freaked out, but didn't do anything about it, and we never hung out. he somehow figured out where i lived and came to put up "lost puppy" posters in my neighborhood once, and i saw him a couple other times just riding around his mo-ped. but i would just watch. and never go out to talk to him or anything. 

8th grade was the exact same way. no talking at all. one time we admitted to liking each other. but he wouldn't ever talk to me so i gave up once again. throughout all of 7th and 8th grade, i probably talked to him 10x. which would be like 2 word conversations...

so pretty much, the first two years of our junior high experiences didn't include each other. although all i ever wanted was to be friends with him again. was for him to talk to me again.... because no matter how  hard i tried, i could not. get over this kid.
