I was 16 or 17 and discovered love for the first time. People said we were too young to know what love was but what do they know. We were told that we didn't know what love was at that age.
I think I did. Maybe it was them that didn't recognize love.
I first met James in Biology. We were fatefully sat next to each other in class due the creative method the Alphabetical seating chart of our Biology teacher Mr. Kane.
Who knew this one act of having to sit next to each other would change our lives forever. Would we have become such good friends if we hadn't been placed next to each other. What if we didn't have that class together? We had no other classes together. Maybe then, I would have had a chance at a happy marriage and a happy life.
I believe there was chemistry between us right away. We may not have recognized it, but we felt it.
We quickly became friends. Friends were all we were for awhile. Sure, we playfully flirted back and forth with one another but it wasn't anything more than that.
I talked to James about the boys that I was interested in. I remember one boy in particular named Jeff. I had grown up with Jeff and I had mentioned to James one day that I liked him and I thought he was cute. James replied that I should just tell Jeff that I loved him. I responded, I don't love Jeff though. I didn't love Jeff but I think I also wanted James to know that too.
