Soon after, I got myself in a somewhat complicated situation. Yikes, this was back in the 6th grade. Imagine what "complicated" meant back then. Nonsense. Anyway, this petite Mexican cutie would always show up to school with either shorts or skirts. I don't think I've ever seen her wearing bottoms past her knees. I'm sure she had but I was use to seeing her with shorter hemlines. Come to think of it, her hair was always above her shoulders. I never complained. With killer dimples, Lorena had developed a flirtatious bond with me. The thing is, after quite some time, I realized she might have been using me to get my best friend jealous. Why you ask? Because my best friend had chosen to go out with her friend rather than her. Again, I wasn't complaining. In the process, it couldn't be helped. I crushed on her hard, not knowing her little hidden agenda.

A year after, when we entered Jr. High (or middle school for some), she became distant. Maybe because her older brother went to the same school so she had to make sure we weren't as close. Fair enough. The 7th grade was the beginning of a much bigger crush, but we'll get to that later.
