Young Love

His name was Brian, and he was my first true love. We had met in Kindergarten, and before you think I was way too young to even know about love, I think this was love in the most uncomplicated of forms...young love. I had a crush on him, but I was also annoyed that he was the "apple" of every teacher's eye. To him, I was just another kid who he beat in the spelling bee; he only liked "uber smart" kids. He didn't see me as anything more than "the girl who always sat next to him in Gym class and Homeroom" till we were in the eighth grade. Only then, did our real relationship start. Most don't believe in "real" love, until college relationships or even thereafter. It is hard to trust that a kid has found their "true" love, especially when the kid in question can't even drive yet, but somehow love finds its way into high school, middle school and even younger.
