It could happen to you

I don't know what I had been thinking at the time. Or if I was even thinking. All I kept saying to myself was God he likes me he really likes me.

I guess you could say I was blind for the most part. To me he was a cute 15 year old boy. And I was an ugly 12 year old girl going to be 13 in a few months.

It seamed impossible for someone to like me enough to flirt with me for longer than a day. He seamed harmless enough to me.

I remember our very first encounter. I was reading a book on learning how to write in Chinese. E came up to me and asked if it was "any good and where I got it."

I told him "I got it from my aunt for Christmas."

He than started to tell me that he was Chinese/Port Rican/ Italian/ and white. And asked what are you?"

I told him I'm African Amearican, I'm Italian, White, Polish check, and Germen." I said trying to ignore him and talk to Ivan. A friend that was close to me and helped me out a lot. He never let Josh get away with shit around him.

Than he said to me "I only go out with girls that are Port Rican or Italian."

"I only go out with boys that I know a little. That aren't complete perverts." I joked he seamed to like the way I joked unlike many other guys.

"I fit in booth of those categories." He said.

I was starting to like this guy more and more even he though had a sick sense of humor.

No you fill neither of those categories." I teased.

Than he asked if I liked Ivan. I told him "as a friend." I lied through my teeth. I had a major crush on Ivan sense the first day of school."

Than the bell rang. I went to my fourth class (science) and told my two best friends the whole thing. Angel told me "to stay clear of this guy he seamed to be a pervert".

But Nicole told me to "go for him. He was going to be hard because of his age but I could get him. And when I did get him not to let him go under any circumstance."

I decided just to flirt a lot next time I had a sub for class. Because that was the only way to get him over next to me and Ivan.

That was my first mistake. I should have taken Angel's advice instead of Nicole's. Nicole had a sense of trouble and danger that seamed to come whenever it came to boys.
