Love At First Sight? Maybe, Not! (Part 1)

My name is Gina. My life as I remember it, really started when I was 7. It was a beautiful afternoon and also my first day of school....EVER!

I was rather excited to be in the school. There were so many people around to talk to. I was always talkative so I made friends really easily. It was definitely also easy for me as I knew quite a lot of them from kindergarten. So I was just getting to know the others when I spotted him... Ken. It was like love at first sight. I know, I know... "BUT YOU'RE ONLY 7!!!" Well, lets just say I matured mentally rather fast. =p

Anyways, when I first looked at him, I was simply mesmerized by him. He was extremely good looking, cool, had great hair, was tall for his age and the most wonderful smile. I was just awestruck. I knew that day that I'd only like him more in the future. And turns out to be, I was right! But just so you know, I was only 7 so my tendency of crushing on many people was high. On that very first day, I met Aden too. He was the sweetest guy. Aden was SUPER tall for his age, was quite okay looking but had an extremely bright personality. The more I hung out with Aden the more I liked him too. Now I had a crush on not 1, but 2 guys. So what do I do? Confront my mother of course!

My mum...Oh, my mum is the best! She can be your best friend when you need her to be. She listened to my stories and said "It's just a crush. Who said you can't have more than 1?". And then, she laughed. That was convenient for me. So i got to hang out with two completely awesome guys and life was smooth....

As i spent more time with Ken and Aden, i realized that I liked Ken as more than a friend and Aden as just a friend. Need I remind you that I was only 7 and able to decide on such things. Hehe. Anyways, Aden and I became the best of friends. We spent recess together. Sat together in computer classes and enjoyed life as best friends. But what I really wondered was whether Ken liked me too. It might have just been me but I felt like he was hinting me or something. He spent lots of time just staring at me. He would go all out of his way just to talk to me. He would always try to cheer me up with jokes and stuff. It was weird but I always felt butterflies in the pit of my stomach when I spoke to Ken. When I looked at him, i would feel a current between us. It's like our eyes spoke to each other or something (cliche). It was after all my first crush ever so you can only imagine how a 7-year-old would react when her crush spoke to her. But it was quite seldom that we had a reason to talk to each other until one day that is...

I was elected as class monitor and became in charge of class discipline. From that day forth I used almost every excuse to talk to Ken and just spent time with him. Silly I was, I always used to play those match games to see our compatibility. No, not the Facebook ones! There was no Facebook that time. I used to spell our names and see the percentage of love and those kinda nonsense. Silly me, but I used to really believe those

things. Of course I'd try to manipulate the answers to ones I wish to receive.

So that was how life went on in Standard 1. I was a hyper-active girl crushing on this cute boy who didn't really know how I felt about him. Will I ever tell him about my crush? Will we get married and live happily ever after? Stay tuned to find out! =)
