I remember being in third grade and wanting to hold her (freckled) hand.
She locked me in a bathroom on my first day of school, but we became friends anyway.
I didn't like her friends and she didn't like mine but we hung out anyway and it was time well spent because you don't talk to someone like her and continue to hate who you are.
She had dark hair that reflected the sun and curled in the wind
and she carried around a binder with a "K" on it so everyone would know how unique her name really was
(it was a very cool name).
Three months at that school and she's all I can remember.
I still wonder if she remembers me.
Young love. Or, the first girl I ever had a crush on, even though I didn't actually figure out that's what it was til I was in high school. Oops.
We moved a lot when I was young so I only got to know her for three months, but I still think about her a lot. It's pretty funny.
