First Crush

I was never really one to crush on someone or fall in love. My first crush came into existence from a single little lie. That lie was to cater to my friend's wishes of knowing who I liked as more than a friend. At that time, it was no one, and honestly, I'm not sure I ever thought about relationships before that moment. I was in seventh grade, and he was a boy I knew from church. Honestly, I had no feelings for him. So, seeing him never really changed how I felt. I never really got butterflies. I never really was excited to see him. But that changed as time went on. I began to see him in a different light because my little lie encouraged me to. Butterflies began to form, and I was excited to see him and nervous to be around him. But these feelings ended as soon as they came. I never truly got a chance of a relationship with him, yet I'm not disappointed in that. My first crush was the starting point of my interest in relationships and love, and for that alone, I'm thankful.
