Elementary School Crushes

I was a questionable child, I was easily influenced. in fact, I still am.

Oi...


anyways I had a few crushes when I was in Elementary school, but all in the 6th grade.

their names were Jessica Andrews

and Chia...somethingasianchoo.

I blame Dan on both counts, he "influenced" me to take interest in them.

"Yo you should go out with Jessica Andrew's she's got the same last name as your first name!"

so I decided to keep it in the back of my mind, a thought, but I started to grow feelings.

I dunno how it happened, but maybe cause I didn't show interest Dan gave up "influencing" and moved onto another target.

Her name was Chia she was from china I think.
anyways here's the story:

she came into class one day, Mrs. Staten introduced her. "Her name is chia, she's from china, and she's here for a while. Make her feel welcome."

This was during our Challenge 24 sessions, so we'd play 24, a game that had 4 numbers, and you had to use addition subtraction multiplication and division to get to 24, it was hard, but I was really good at it. Chia was put into our group, and I didn't really talk to her, I was quite shy.

After a couple rounds, the girls group invited chia over. Dan took me aside and started talking to me
"Dude Chia totally digs you."
"What are you talking about?" I say.
"Yeah didn't you see the way she holds your hand?"
"Uh, no? she isn't holding my hand."
"Yeah she is, during 24, you always slap first, and then her hand lightly falls onto yours."
"Woah you're right."
"Of course."

so I started to have a crush on Chia, unfortunately a friend of mine, Cara M, Found out but kept it a secret.

later on, during lunch (a couple weeks later) Cara's table (which had Chia) and Andy's table (which had me) got into a fight. and Andy said something to Cara that embarrassed her.

so Cara yelled out real loud "WHAT ANDREW LIKES CHIA?"

the room got quiet. if the room had darkened. you could see me and chia Glow red in embarrassment.

Later Chia took me aside, told me she had no interest in me, I understood.

we didn't really talk, I stopped trying to play hard in Challenge 24. Chia got to finals and beat Roxanne.

she moved to Pennsylvania I think because her dad moved their to business,

but of course, a broken heart Andrew Nguyen thought "she left cuz of me..."

End Story.
