Yes, this really happenned

I'm sitting here thinking I'd like to entertain a friend with a story. Thing is though, I have no idea where to begin. I know I want it to be amusing, maybe a little deep. I certainly want it to be something impressive because she's a pretty girl and all the boys want to impress the pretty girls. That reminds me of a story of my own actually...

I remember the first time I saw a really pretty girl and became totally stupid. It was in kindergarten, and her name was Kim. It was catholic school and yea, we all had uniforms. And yea, all the girls look really cute in the uniforms, and I still get kinda stupid when I see those. Anyway..

I don't remember the day so much as the circumstances surrounding my stupid moment. We were doing some kinda arts and crafts. You know, uncooked pasta, glitter, and good old fashioned elmer's glue. We all had paper plates to hold our stuff on, and I had a big pool of glue on my plate. We were standing up and in line to get something from the teacher, maybe more macaroni or something I don't really remember. I just remember I was behind her in line and was making sure my plate with glue didn't get near her hair.

She had really nice light brown hair, and I didn't wanna mess it up. She turns around and smiles this big pretty smile at me and asks me a question. I think she asked me a question, like 'what are you making?' or 'how are you doing?' i have no idea. All I remember clearly was she turned around, smiled and said something to me. I was completely stupefied. I didn't even know what to do. Somehow for some reason I have yet to even discover let alone comprehend, I dipped my right index finger into the Elmer's glue and tasted it. Never taking my eyes off of hers. I remember these big blue eyes. (No idea what they really are, but thats how i remember it) And I tasted the glue, and instantly was all "BLECH!" EEEeew! She chuckled and asked how did that taste? (Like she was amused) And I said 'Like a rotten candy cane.'. She laughed and turned back around.

I don't think I ever could talk to her again because of that. I always felt like such an idiot. I remember changing schools and losing all the friends I had at that catholic school, including her. I think she even gave me her phone number and everything. (Which my father threw away because he didn't know what this paper was on the kitchen table. Thanks Dad!) And I thought I'd never see her again. Then when I had gotten to high school, there she was! She was a cheerleader, and still very pretty. Only now she had grown up.

I know she knew who I was, we did make eye contact once or twice but I always felt like that little kid that just went all stupid and ate glue in front of the prettiest girl in school. I never talked to her, and she never talked to me. It's just another one of my many regrets. If I could find her, and talk to her again? I'd love to share this story with her now just to hear her laugh again. And this time we could both share a laugh. And I could see that pretty smile and big blue eyes again. Only this time I'll be sure to not have a plate with glue on it in front of me!
