Unrequited Love Turns Passionate After a Heartbreaking Rejection: A Forbidden Affair When I was a kid I never thought about girls, and I suspect those who openly spoke about it did so for the attention. I never hung out with any girls, I had no girls as close friends or anything like that. This was a trend that followed me into high school where as I matured and discovered sexuality caused me quite a bit of grief. I was a medium height solid build kid, long thick brown hair and dark blue eyes. To most I was just an average kid, and I don’t blame them for thinking of me that way. But there was more to me than what met the eye. I’ve always considered myself very compassionate and kind, most people who know me agree. This however was not an asset that served me well in finding someone to share my compassion with. Confidence, charisma, charm, whatever you want to call it. In teenage years that’s all that counts when you want a girlfriend. Although I was quite composed and lesser known in high school, this didn’t mean I was by any means a pushover. Behind my shy nature was an attitude of integrity and honesty, those who crossed me knew that. There were plenty of girls I had an eye for. I’ve never been overly fussy about a girl’s appearance, but there was one girl I had a particular liking to. Call it what you want, infatuation or creepiness, Zoe Becker was someone I’ve never been able to take my eyes off of. …but everything was about to change
