My Awesome 4th Grade Flirting Skills
When I was in the 4th grade, I fell deeply in love with my classmate named Chris. In my 9 year old mind, Chris was everything I ever wanted; he had blond hair, and he was 4’10’’ tall. I have forgotten what kind of weird elementary school fantasies I had about him (and I don’t want to remember), but I knew I wanted him for myself and myself only.
But, as fate would have it, Chris was the most popular boy in the fourth grade. 84% of all the girls in my grade were in love with Chris.
This only meant that I had to try harder.
Lucky for me, our last names began with the same letter, so our alphabetically assigned seats were right across from each other.
Yessss.
But Unlucky for me, this seating arrangement didn’t really make a difference because of what an awkward flirt I was.
One day when our teacher was out of the room making copies, I had a bright-lightbulb-above-the-head-worthy idea.
Using my feet, I took his shoe off.
Yes, I reached my legs under the desk and took his shoe off of his foot. I don’t know how I managed to do that or why, and even today I wish I could go back in time to find out how I did it.
But the important thing was that I had his shoe. So now he had a shoeless right foot and I had a 3rd sneaker under my side of the table. I reached down, grabbed his shoe, and waved it around in the air.
Pretty good, eh?
NO. That wasn’t enough. I took his shoe, and threw it.
Yes…I threw it.
I was actually aiming at the recycling bin but…lucky lucky me at that very second my teacher walks back into the room and my crush’s shoe hits her right in the stomach.
It was extremely obvious that I threw it, seeing that my right hand was still up in the air, and it was also extremely obvious whose foot the lone shoe belonged to, seeing that Chris was the only shoeless person in the room.
Needless to say, we both got detention.
Oh, but the story doesn’t end there! A year later in 5th grade, Chris ended up asking me out on a date.
But I said no because by then I had fallen deeply in love with a different boy.

Haha, you're a epic rebel. ;D <3
XD Ah, karma. Such a confusing thing and WHY DID YOU THROW HIS SHOE?!?
Lmfao. Whoaa. That's really funny (:
I used to be in love with this boy. I was in kindergarten through first grade. He had blonde hair and freckles, and a good 3 inches taller than me. Instead of taking his shoes off and throwing them at my teacher though, I'd tell on him whenever his desk was messy. Once I gave him a picture of me that my mom had gotten done professionally at Sears.
My love for him ended abruptly however when we were in 1st grade and I was on the top bleacher & fell off! And guess what he did?
He laughed.
ROFL~! Wow, you're hilarious XP
Maybe I should do the same ^^
But I'll have to wait a year until he really asks me out =o
funny story!
hahah this was a great story. put a smile on my face =P
Funny stuff. Yeah, why did you throw his shoe? All that work, he finally asked you out and you rejected him.
It's amazing how much power a shoe can have. "Nike; Just Throw It."
ROFL. There you go again! hopelessly funny funny see I told ya!!
Awww... How cute xD
I think its ironic how you liked someone else int he end :P
@Melissa_Minuet - you know it! haha jk
@Queen_of_You188 - @oroiko - oh....you know with little kids when they like someone they don't want to admit it so they be really mean to their crush?
yeah.... :D
@hollixny - awwww! poor you :( why did he laugh ? :(
@c0nfuze - Hahaha, yes, just follow what I did ;)
@T5421 - what? haha

@ArksCovenant - Hahah! that should be their new motto. it would totally sell. :D
@Loonsounds - :D thanks!!~~
@Phenom66 - heehee i use to change people once every year :D
your use of the fonts is soooooooooo creative. almost looks like you have no idea what you are doing... that takes ART
@Loonsounds - haha, THANKS! the secret is....I read it out loud like I'm telling a story. and then I just put emphasis on all the words that I actually put emphasis into when reading :D yeah.. haha!
I like how you format it
:]
nice story.
lol,
you said no, that's epic.
@noree_n - He apparently thought it was funny D: But I was very sensitive, and it broke my heart. We're friends today though (:
Hahahahaha, wow. I wish I was as bold as you. Lmfao.
@noree_n - ah darlin' listen ...emphasis on whatever, this font overlapping formating this is your own creative unique style and it is ART
@noree_n - It seems like I've found a new career path to follow. Yeah, we can have you pretending to throw a shoe as a pose on a big advertisement poster. I can already see success awaiting for me. I mean, us.
when i was in the 4th grade i didnt even like boys. you are funny tho. next time i see the boy i like im going to take his shoe and throw it. its brilliant!
@DommieGirlLovie - haha, thank you!

At that age he was lucky you didn't hit him with the shoe.
