Here goes my story:
It was this girl that I liked from 4th to 6th grade, from February 2010 to March 2012. Believe me, you're in for a wild story.
Ok, so, from 3rd grade all the way until 8th, from 2008 to 2014, I was in gifted classes at my school, and this girl was in the one I was in back in 4th grade, and we first met when the school year started in August of 2009.
Well, during my 4th grade year in 2009 and 2010, the gifted teacher along with the language arts teacher I had worked together to create an opera, with us students having various roles in it. It was finally presented at the start of March in 2010, but over the course of February, especially in the second half of it, we had worked on preparing it.
Well, the girl I liked was an actress in it, and sometime late in February at one of the practices I remember that my feelings for her began. The problem is, once they began, people began finding about it, and things went crazy, even though I told no one, not even my parents or best friends, because I had just turned 10 years old and I didn't think anyone would really understand.
The first time I remember that someone found out was in the spring that year, before the school year ended. This girl confronted me about it and I just walked away and said nothing. I just assumed nothing of it, but that time in the spring of 2010 would mark the beginning of people continually finding out all the way until around Christmas of 2012, nine months after I had given up on my crush.
More and more people began to find out about my feelings, but I ironically don't know if my crush ever did know about them and I know that one other girl, who certainly needed to know about them, never did.
This other girl I'm referring to is one that started going to my church with her parents in August of 2011, although I had actually been in preschool and kindergarten with her from 2003 to 2006. When we saw each other for the first time in over five years early that month, I noticed immediately that she began having feelings for me (she made it very obvious, and would constantly ask me questions about preschool from 2003 to 2005 during the second half of 2011 and first half of 2012), yet I didn't feel the same way because I really liked that other girl that I had been having feelings for the last year and a half. However, my parents began teasing me about the girl I had known since 2003, so that, plus the fact that people were making fun of me for my feelings for my crush led me to give up on her in March of 2012.
As I said though, people found out several months later, as late as December that year, which was part of the reason I never liked another girl until early in 2014. I tried to make myself like the girl I had known since 2003 in 2012, but it just never worked.
