Things get interesting

I have mentioned my intuition a couple times previous, and in both those cases I was right. This is how I began to rely on my intuition to much, one of my several tragic flaws (assuming I'm a tragic hero). The following story is iconic of this flaw, and you will easily see why. It was near the end of school. We were having an assembly of some sort, I think it was to celebrate the boy's soccer team winning state (We won five state titles that year). I found a seat to myself, and was soon joined by Jane. Now this should have been viewed as nothing. After all, we were pretty good friends at that point, and I was sitting all alone. However, at that time I felt like there was something more to that encounter, and actually I stubbornly hold onto that thought to this day.

Don't worry these revelations didn't occur simply just because she sat by me. She just had a different . . . attitude I guess. She seemed really giddy. She asked me if I liked Cyndi Lauper. She shared her iPod with me. All in all, it seemed a little flirtatious, and very different then any other time we had talked. She wanted to take a picture with me, and sadly I ruined that moment by deleting the picture because I looked stupid in it. That is about it, and though the event was undeniably small, its affect on me was huge.

If by that point I hadn't already had a complete crush on her, I certainly did now. And for once in my life, I sensed that there was a chance it would be reciprocated. I honestly didn't know what to think. All my life I had liked girls and expected nothing back. Now I was faced with actually trying to find out her feelings, and I had no idea how. So with my typical brave behavior, I decided to wait it out for a while, and see what the summer would bring.
