A LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, OF HEART, AND MIND

Back in my senior year of high school there was a girl, Debra. We had a mutual friend Herb. Herb told me that Debra was talking alot about me. Debra was very attractive with a very nice body, she could have been a model. I had always viewed girls like Debra as out of my league, but I did nominate her for homecoming queen.

After Herb told me about Debra talking alot about me, I started having “weird” dreams about Debra.

At our high school if you lived a mile away from school you didn't get bused. You either walked (like I did) or you found another way to get to school. One day as I was walking Debra was in a car with someone. After you pulled out of the school parking lot there was a traffic light not to far down the road. The car Debra was in was going at a high rate of speed. As I neared the traffic light, Debra's car slammed on the brakes and came to a screeching stop to avoid going through the light. Debra was in the passenger seat and started laughing. I forgave her for laughing at the fact I was almost made a hood ornament. Debra wasn't the kind of person to laugh at someone's misfortune. I told myself that it was accidental, I gave Debra “the pretty girl exception”. I'll admit I liked Debra alot, I'll own it. That night I had a dream that Debra and I were in the hallways at school. Debra looked very depressed and indicated an ex boyfriend had done something very mean to her. I said to Debra to channel all her anger over what guys had done wrong to her and take it out on me (I would have taken a bullet for her). Debra then proceeded to grab my crotch area and then squeezed.

On another occasion at school, Debra came over to me in the hallways then left very hurriedly. That night I had a dream about Debra. I was moving through a crowd at a school dance. As I glanced over to the right I saw Debra dancing with some other guy.

On another occasion at school while I was walking through the hallways, I waved to Debra. She gave me this “cold hard stare”.

That night I had a dream that Debra had played this practical joke on me and that the entire school found out about it and were laughing at me.

On another occasion at school I overheard a couple girls saying mean things about Debra (behind her back). That night I had a dream that I was walking through the school parking lot, as I approached this one car I heard noise coming from the truck. I went to get a teacher and when they opened the trunk Debra was in there tied up.

Herb told me one time that Debra was self-conscious, which really bothered me because I didn't like it when Debra would low rate herself (she meant alot me). That night I had a dream that Debra and I were talking. I told her that I would trade any part of me for her eyes (I did love her eyes). I then asked her what part of me she would want, then her face started turning red (I guess she felt embarrassed).

Another time at school Debra had dropped a quarter on the floor and bent over to pick it up. I caught a glimmer of her “derriere extraordinaire “ (I couldn't help but stare, it was really nice). That night I had a dream that Debra was in a bra and panties running through the hallways. I had a jacket on, took the jacket off and started running towards Debra (to put the jacket over her). I never did catch up to her. (Don't get me wrong I would have liked to caught a glimmer of Debra in bra and panties, but I would have put the jacket over her just the same, I'm really not the kind of person to take advantage of that situation).

As a practical joke one day Herb told me that Debra was looking for me. I asked Herb where she was. He said in one of the 1st floor English classrooms. I went there but she was nowhere around. I looked around the classroom with no luck, finally near the end of the day I saw her in the hallways talking with 2 other girls. I went to Debra and asked what she wanted. She wanted to know what I was talking about. I told her Herb said she was looking for me. She started laughing at me. The next day in school, both girls who were with Debra the day before, told me that Debra was looking for me and started to laugh at me.

There was one time I was out shopping with my mother at a mall and I saw Debra there. I didn't go over to her, because I didn't want to be embarrassed by my mother.

I have an account on classmates.com (Debra doesn't), but her younger sister does. I contacted her younger sister. I found out Debra is married with 3 kids. I'm really happy for her. I only wanted the best for Debra and glad she is doing so well. I also found out her husband doesn't want her to talk to other men. I'm not sure if that what's she envisioned

when she wanted the “a love of a lifetime”, but I wished her all the best anyway. I always wondered what she was like outside of school.

Debra, if you read this I want you to know that these are the feelings and dreams I had about you. I would have liked to know the feelings she had for me. If I couldn't get to love Debra in this lifetime, maybe in the next one.
