Beware the dimples

by » Tania

I had my very first crush when I was about 7. He was a classmate of mine: blond, blue eyes, small, a little bit fat with adorable dimples. I don’t know why but all the girls of the class loved him too. Seems like I followed the trend, but I swear I loved him for real. Probably more than anyone else since all the other girls seemed affected by some weird hormonal imbalance. He was also the leader of the boys so I suppose power was an important factor of infatuation. I used to be a real tomboy, I hardly played with a girl during the whole elementary school period because I really hated those silly games they used to do like playing dolls, writing poems, singing, checking out who had bigger breast, etc. That’s why I thought I could have a chance with him, because I was like one of the boys. I liked to jump, run, play football, climb on trees, insult the girls and so on. One day he came to my house and when he found out I had a secret diary he wanted to know what was written on it. Of course I refused categorally to reveal anything since all the pages where full of hearts, drawings of me and him kissing and phrases like: “I love you”, “I want to kiss you”, “marry me”, “can’t you see we are made to stay together” and other embarassing declarations. I took advantage instead to ask him if he had any favourite girl and after some psychological pressure he said it was me. I just couldn’t believe it, I was so happy! I asked him to kiss but I really can’t remember if he kissed me on the mouth or the cheek. I just recall it took like ages to convince him. Anyway, since he confessed his feelings for me I decided he could finally read my diary. Sounds like a very sweet story, but unfortunately there was no happy ending. After some time I discovered he pretended to be in love with me in order to read my diary and make fun of me with the other boys. He really broke my fragile and young heart. I was so upset I threw the diary off the window and decided not to love him anymore. I happened to meet him a couple of years ago and I was really surprised to see how he has become. Basically he’s tall the same, but he lost weight. He looks like a little elf with pimples.
