so throughout my middle school career i
had many different crushes it was about
the time when i started to develop real
feelings for my peers but no one was
allowed to hear about any of them
and that was because of two reasons the
first reason rejection i was scared that
i would admit that i like someone and it
would get to them and then they wouldn't
like me back and that just seemed like a
scary position for me to be in
the second reason was acceptance
i was scared that i was gonna admit i
like someone that person finds out about
it and they may like me back
and then where do we go from there
i was like oh maybe then we'll have to
date and then oh what's this we're
broken up and then all of my friends
don't like hers and all of her friends
don't like mine and it just seemed like
a lot of drama at the time
but then eighth grade came and along
with eighth grade came my biggest crush
of all it was on this girl named rachel
who sat next to me um in geography class
and
it just seemed like there was this time
in my life where i was only going to
school just for that class and just to
sit next with next to her and race her
on the geography video game and see who
could name more countries
um she was just amazing like we had all
these inside jokes with each other and i
just had this feeling that i couldn't
hold on to this crush any longer and
lucky for me our middle school prom was
right around the corner that's right i
went to a small progressive middle
school and we had a prom for the eighth
graders um
so i was like that's a great entrance
into this romantic scene in my middle
school i'll ask rachel out to prom um so
i went home and i looked up on google
how to ask someone out to prom
um
and i come across these things called
promposals which are
these sort of like proposals for
marriage but this time for the prom um
and
a lot of them have this musical element
like a uh you know someone sings a song
or does a dance so i'm thinking hey you
know i'm kind of musical i can do that
um next thing i know i'm waiting for
rachel outside of class ukulele in hand
um and i sing her song asking her to
prom and
it's a little bit overkill people are
like you could have just got flowers but
she's laughing and she seems to really
like it and perhaps think it was cute
and she says yes and i'm like wow this
is so cool um
so next thing you know we're at prom and
it's this under under the sea theme uh
there's inflatable lobsters on the floor
uh every table has a seaweed centerpiece
and
rachel and i have this wonderful night
like we're just talking the whole night
and we never leave each other's side and
we even have our caricature drawn
together by the caricature artist which
feels like a really big move for me um
and it's just this magical nautical
night and
at the end of it
we hug and we say good night and i walk
away and i'm like well that wasn't so
bad that wasn't so scary this is really
cool um the next day
a bunch of us middle school prom couples
are hanging out at emma's house emma was
sort of like the ringleader of my middle
school friend group um
and we're all hanging out watching the
movie frozen um
as you do
and
and then there's one point where rachel
gets up and excuses herself to use the
bathroom um and at that moment all the
attention in the room turns to me
and emma stands up and she says david
have you had your first kiss yet
and i say
no
and she says oh well rachel hasn't has
her had her first kiss yet and um she
leaves for camp tomorrow for the rest of
the summer uh and she said that she
would like her first kiss to be with you
wow i mean
i'm not even thinking about a kiss this
is crazy to me and then rachel just
comes back in the room and everyone goes
back to normal and i'm just really in my
head like this is
i mean i'm thinking wait i do want to
have my first kiss with rachel but this
is so soon and an ultimatum on top of it
um
but then
as we're watching the movie people are
sort of motioning like david maybe you
should you know put your arm around her
make a first move on the way to your
kiss later today um
and i'm sort of like still and stagnant
but then the song let it go come on
comes on and
you know what i do i let that arm go and
i put it around rachel and she smiles
and sort of snugs up next to me and it
seems like a good move and i'm like okay
maybe i can do this kiss but then the
movie ends and rachel abruptly is like
okay i have to go home um
and i'm like oh my gosh i'm gonna miss
my opportunity but then i'm like okay
i'll walk you to the train and i go and
follow her to the door and everyone's
just like yes
um
so rachel and i are walking to the train
and this is uh me agreeing to kiss her i
feel in my head um
and everyone at the hangout agrees as
well because my phone is ringing off the
it's going crazy people are texting me
make sure you put your hands on your
hips when you kiss her make sure you
lean down because you're much taller
than her and make sure you pick a side
pick a side to lean on so i'm just like
okay bend down you're taller hands on
hips pick a side pick a side
and
and just like that all the like lovely
banter that rachel and i had before is
kind of gone she's just kind of like
walking and and i'm just in my head and
not really saying a word and we get to
the train station uh we walk down to the
subway platform
um
and i'm just too nervous
and she's waiting there for me to do
something and
i i can't
and i just say bye
and and she says bye and she swipes her
metro card and the turnstile divides us
and i'm
i'm thinking like oh why'd you let all
those texts get in your head like this
is actually something you want to do
and then i look and i see the train
times and i see i still have one more
minute
and something gets a hold of me so i
take out my metrocard
and i go for a swipe because love is
worth wasting a metrocard swipe
and i go and i meet her on the platform
and she just starts laughing it's darkly
and i ask her why are you laughing and
she just says oh i laugh a lot when i
get nervous
and that makes me feel so much better
because i'm really nervous as well
and i ask her if she wants to have her
first kiss with me and she says yes
and so i put my hands on her hips
i lean down because i'm a lot taller
than her
i pick a side i pick the right side
and as the train is coming we place a
little peck on the side of our lips and
the wind from the train hits us
and it's magical and
i i'm i'm really celebrating this moment
but i don't celebrate it with her after
it happens i run away because
there's no like staring off longingly
into our eyes none of that no i just
leave the train station
and i walk out from the subway platform
and i'm just thinking about all the
moments i can have in my life that are
so exciting if i just put myself out
there i went from someone who couldn't
even admit he had a crush on someone to
asking a girl out to prom with my
ukulele having my first kiss and more
important than that
establishing a really special connection
with someone i like
and there were so many thoughts running
through my head but one of them just
kept sticking with me it was just this
amazing thought i just kept thinking
i did it
thank you
you
