I keep falling for someone or the other every day and strongly advise you to have as many crushes as possible. After all, life is short and one shouldn’t miss even a single chance to have fun.
I had a crush on my classmate when I was in Class VII. She was beautiful and always topped the class. All of us would copy her notes to get close to her but we always failed to do so. It took me almost a year to open my heart to her and disclose my true feelings. As it happens in most love stories at that age, she didn’t say anything and we continued the way we were – there were still bicycle rides together to school and tiffin sharing at lunchtime. It was puppy love. The first time you like someone, you dream of her but are still unsure of your future.
Then, she went to a different school after Class X and we were separated. So that was it.
