The year is 1977. You were the shy girl in school, never talking to anyone besides your few close friends. You were always scared you were falling behind since all of your friends were getting boyfriends left and right, when no boy bats an eye at you

One day you and your friends went to the mall where they met up with a group of boys, one of the boys being a boy around fourteen. He had a soft but boyish look on his face, his brown hair fell a little in his face. His name was Tex McCormick. You stayed silent as you stood behind your friends, them flirting and laughing with the group of boys. Tex was making a few jokes but he couldn’t help but notice you. You weren’t as loud and obnoxious as the other girls, that stood out to him

You looked up from where you were staring at on the floor and made eye contact with Tex. You both blushed and looked away, him coughing awkwardly as you guys stood feet away from each other, both of your hands shoved nervously in your pockets as your friends continued to talk

A little bit later all of your guys friends walked to the food court, you and Tex staying behind, nervously walking next to each other as you followed. They all went into a store, leaving you and Tex outside. You sat down on a nearby bench, staring down at your lap, feeling the presence of Tex sitting down next you
