In eighth grade a girl had a crush on me. I didn't know it at the time, but I guess it makes sense now.

Looking back on it, she always wanted to be near me and acted like anyone else would in front of their crush.

I would have never know if Ally hadn't told me.

My best friend heard a rumor that the girl liked me, and I couldn't understand it. I didn't know what being gay meant. So I got flustered, and proclaimed that I was as straight as a ruler.

I had a flexi ruler in my backpack.

How ironic.
