the great white buffalo

The one that got away...

7th/8th grade. Imagine. Short spiky with glasses with the most pimples you've ever seen on a human face. For sure this kid couldn't have a handle on any girls? But for some reason, within the nerdy squad I was "cool." And, I was amazing at violin for a 7th grader (this is Hillsborough, not many people play orchestra)...I had a big ego to say the least, ESPECIALLY in orchestra. (I'm sorry Mr. Cooper, my conductor.)

I don't know how many times I talked to ...Kathryn, let's call her. Couldn't be too many, but to me, she was the  cutest girl in the whole school. I guess it helped that she was on par with me at violin, so we saw each other in orchestra, but I could've swore I had no shot.

So I didn't shoot. Moved to Delaware. Sometime freshmen year, she told me she liked me in middle school.
