My first boyfriend.

Eugene was his name, and I thought he was the hottest guy in my school. He also happened to be the older brother of my best friend Molly-Lynn. That’s how I knew him. I had spent a lot of time over at her house, and had gotten to know her brother a little bit. We started flirting with each other a little bit, and then I confessed to her that I thought he was cute. Well, she of course, told Eugene this, and he told her that he liked me too. We then went through a phase where we wrote each other cute little notes, and she played mailman, and passed the notes back and forth for us.  I’m not sure how or when we became official, because we were so shy of each other that we rarely talked to each other in person. We smiled like crazy around each other, and waved to each other when we saw each other, but that was about the extent of “us”. It was a really cute time in my life, when I was still so innocent, that it remained really sweet. I’ll always remember the one time we actually touched. I had been over at Lynn’s house, and Eugene was riding around on their quad. He asked me if I wanted a ride, and I said “Yes!”. And so I climed on the back, and wrapped my arms around him tightly, and he took off, really fast. It was a thrilling ride, to say the least. I think what made it so thrilling was the fact that I got to be so close to him, and that I could feel his muscles through his t-shirt.  Anyhoo….
