a girl in 9th grade sat next to me in half my classes. after a semester passed, she leaned over one day and said "I have a crush on someone in this class SO MUCH." I proceeded to guess every other guy in the classroom, and she'd go "nooo..." and then said "Oh well Janey? Oh Rebecca?" and she got upset and class got going and I forgot.
She wrote in my yearbook "We could have had a lot of fun but you're a sweet guy!"
and she was freaking hot.
Two years later my first actual girlfriend basically sat next to me at every lunch for a month, then some dance was approaching and she told me "Look here's my address, pick me up at 7 ok?" And kissed me on the lips.
Ho lee shiiiit.
Oh and I was fuckin ugly too, I didn't hit my growth spurt until 17, was far more interested in computers than anything else, big nose, dumbo ears, greasy, etc., so people, even if you're completely clueless, be nice and bathe regularly, it might happen to you!
yeah I wonder a lot about the actual statistics of crime, violent crime, financial crime, labor crime etc., because the prodigious enforcement against poc, and the damn near global under-enforcement of the white collar class...
