Ya know, its crazy just how many people I remember from my past regardless of what I tell everyone about not remembering. Mostly its guys that I remember though. Probably cuz I'm a girl, but that's completely beside the point.

I was looking through old year books and I came across many people who I had highlighted. I remembered some, but the longer its been the less I remember. Some of the people I had highlighted, I was like 'who the hell is this and why are they highlighted?' But the guys, on the other hand, most of them I remembered and I could remember at least one thing about the significance they had towards my memory.

There is one person, however, that is not in any yearbook I have, yet I remember him almost as clearly as if it hasn't been 6 years since I've seen or heard anything from him.

His name is Charles, or Charlie; either one works. He is the younger brother of Robert, {we like to call him Bob or Bobert, though he hated the second nickname} my freshman and sophomore year drum major {I was in a marching band; if you were too, than you'd know that term}. At first I had the crush on Robert. I saw him more often, for obvious reasons. But at one of the football games, or competitions {I can't remember exactly} I met his younger brother, Charles. Almost instantly my crush on Robert was over. I now had a crush on Charles. I was a little uneasy about the fact that he was a year younger than me. But I got over it quickly as I was only 14 or 15 and he 13 or 14.

Anywho, it didn't go anywhere between us. We were both young and he was very shy; more so than I, which was hard to do. {I'm still very shy, but I'm slightly more open than back then} He would come over to my place and hang out. I'd go to his as well. He appeared to like me so I kissed him, but then he confessed that was his first and he wasn't sure of it yet. Weird, I know, but whatever. It hurt me a bit, but I got over it after we didn't see one another any longer. Every time we happened to run into one another it was awkward so thankfully we didn't see each other much.

After I moved, I lost contact with both Robert and Charles, but from time to time I would wonder how they were doing. And I still do, but much less frequently. Well, due to the strange convenience of Myspace, my curiosity got the better of me and I found Robert. He's gotten a little more heavy-set than I would have expected him to, but he's in a ska band {just a local Las Vegas band} with a few classmates of his from high school. Through Robert's profile I found Charles.

He's still as cute as ever. Only more grown up. He's 19 now. I wonder how awkward it would be if I were to run into him now. Haha, I guess it'd be pretty funny. Oh well. I doubt it'll happen, but who knows. Though Las Vegas is a pretty big city, my sister runs into her friends all the time. Who knows who I could run into once I'm out there.

I'm confused. Why were you hurt? Because you were the first person to kiss him and he didn't tell you that...?
