It all started up in first grade and I just moved to a new school. I was scared that my mom wouldn't be there with me. Right when my mom and I walk into my class I see all the people and I just get scared. She tells me she is going to work and that she'll come later. I get scared and start crying. Everyone starts laughing at me, except for HER.  She tells everyone to stop laughing at me and she tells me her name is Genevieve Rodriguez.  The whole day we talk and she introduces me to everyone. I soon meet my best friend Justin Totten.  I quickly become best friends with her and Justin. Fast forward to 5th grade Justin tells me that he got with Genevieve. I am happy for him and confused. I really don't know why I'm confused.  Days pass and Justin tells me I should stop hanging out with them so he can be with her more. I get mad but I tell him I will.  Weeks go by and Justin says he's sorry for that and says that she broke up with him. I ask him why but he says to ask her. I go ask her and she starts getting nervous in front of me. I tell her she's acting weird for she never is weird in front of me. She says she is acting weird because she broke up with Justin because she was using him to make me jealous. At that point of my life girls weren't on my mind, rather basketball was. I tell her oh and say nothing after. Days go by and I think she got over it. Basketball season starts and I get on the boys squad, then she gets on the girls squad too. I go to the homework center and she comes in later too. Later in the year we have to pick what middle school we want to go to. I am the only one in my grade to pick Steinbeck Middle School.  She decides to go to Hoover and Justin decides to go to Willow Glen.  Two days before we send our choices she tells me that she switched her schools to go to Steinbeck. That is when I talk to her. I ask her why she is doing all this and she tells me that she still loves me. I tell her love is a strong word and she is tripping. She keeps saying no. We go to Steinbeck together and I start getting into the love season. My eyes are opening up and I know that I might lover her back.  I tell her this and she says we should get together. I tell her I never had a girl in my life, like she doesn't know that. She says to make it official she says we have to kiss. I ask her how to do that. She says its easy and she kisses me. I really like the kiss. I kiss her back. I don't know how long we've been going at it but it was one of the greatest moments of my life. At the end of the 6th grade school year she gives me a note and tells me to read it when I get home. When I get home I open it up and read it. In it she says I'm becoming a different person and that I spend more time with family that with her and that we should call it quits. The next day we talk and I ask her is this what you really want, and she says yeah. I tell her I will not beg and I hope she finds someone that will make her happy. We separate and the next year I go to John Muir and she goes to Hoover. I gave her my heart and she didn't want it, so I hope she is happy now.
