Why am I so obsessed with you?

Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

The summer before seventh grade, I saw you maybe two or three times despite living so close to you.

I also broke my arm that summer, so I couldn’t ride my bike with my mom by your house, hoping for a glimpse into your life.

Seventh grade we had no classes together.  I missed you a lot that year. It was a bad year for me.

The brightest spot I remember is when you sat with me on the bus, we still rode the bus every day together to and from school. On that day you said you loved my flute. I thought you were crazy at the moment.  But then later I thought it meant you loved me.

Then the end of year came, I hoped you would ask to sign my yearbook again, you never did.

That summer I went on vacation across the country with my family.  I imaiged I would run into you when I was camping over 1000 miles away from where we lived. I never saw you while I was on vacation.

It didn’t stop me from thinking about you.
