You had a crush on Eli, and you have for a while. He was your type, both personality wise and physically. He was a great boy despite the group he hung around.

You had a very specific spot you went to in the park anytime you felt overwhelmed or needed to be alone to study, read, or just be alone. You had no clue that Eli knew that spot. You only brought certain people to that spot that you trusted and were your closest friends.
