Another Teaser for a story i'm working on.
First Crush
My name is Zach and I’m going to tell you about my first crush and soon to be wife.
It all started in middle school when I met the girl that would become my crush, her name is Mayra, she was an exchange student and we were only thirteen years old by then, it was not easy for me to get close to her, I was too much of a dumb kid by then. I spend most of my time playing with the other guys at school, we used to wrestle whenever we had time at the playground because it was our favorite show on the TV, my favorite wrestler was ‘’Undertaker’’ and I usually acted like if I was him while playing, we were too rough so it was normal that someone ended up crying or wounded, it could be anyone. That kind of behavior made her not pay attention to any of us and I don’t blame her, I wouldn’t think on acting like that now that I’m older.
It was our last year before high school and most of us would go to different places by the end of the year so our parents planed a trip to a pool before the summer ended. When we got there it was pure chaos, everyone was yelling and running everywhere, I don’t know what were our parents thinking when planning that trip and who told them it would be a good idea to take a bunch of twelve and thirteen years old kids there but anyways, I’m grateful they choose that place instead of another one, Mayra already knew that I had a crush on her, so she did her best to avoid me, let’s say that I did a lot of stupid things during the year to get her attention and that only made things way worse, I would throw paper planes at her, with the usual ‘’Do you like me? Yes or No’’ quote, she would just toss the paper in the trash, I also pushed her in the playground once trying to be playful and make her laugh, it didn’t work either and I got detention that day, so you can understand that she was not enjoying my preteen hormonal behavior… Sigh! I was so dumb by then and those were not even the worst thing I did… Ahem!! I got carried away.
When I saw her that day she looked so beautiful, she was wearing a white dress, sunglasses, a white hat with a pink ribbon and a pair of cute white flip flops. I can remember her outfit like if it happened yesterday, those flip flops where the best of that day because they made her feet and legs look astonishing, I was trying to get closer to her so I could tell her about my feelings, but whenever she saw me she would turn away and go somewhere else, till I found her at the water slide, I was able to stop her just before she got inside the slide, she looked at me really mad and said ‘’What do you want!? Why are you always following me around? Can’t you see I’m not interested in you!? I was taken aback by her sudden response, I should’ve let her alone, but I was already there, I was blushing and about to cry, I took all my courage and I was finally able to say something ‘’Y-your feet look c-cute’’ that was the only phrase that my childish brain was able to produce you would not believe how embarrassed I was in that moment, but it all changed after she sighed and rolled her eyes, then lifted her legs and grabbed her feet by the ankles, after a few movements her feet separated from the rest of her body, still wearing her flip flops.
