The Last Time I Had a Crush: A Journey Through Adolescence

H1: The Last Time I Had a Crush: A Journey Through Adolescence

H2: The Mid-Schooling Experience

It was three months ago. I attended an all-girls middle school where my heart was untouched by the charm of boys. Now, I enter high school, where the world of boys dawns on me in a new light. During my middle school days, I had a particular interest in a boy named Vihaan from my class. Alas, fate would have it that Vihaan transferred to another class, leaving me with a longing that was half-filled and half-empty.

As the transition to high school began, a new face emerged in my life, a boy named Ayush. Ayush would often sneak glances at me, but at first, I ignored him, too busy with my thoughts of Vihaan. It was like a hidden flame slowly flickering, igniting slowly with desire and affection. My friends started noticing the interest in Ayush, but I was set in my belief that he was just a triangle I didn't want to complete. Eventually, Ayush started looking my way more often, and to my surprise, he began to return my gaze.

H2: The Conflict of Interest

My friendship with Ayush added another layer of complexity to my school life. One day, during an IT practical class, our teacher assigned us to work in pairs. He sat beside me, and my heart started to race like it would burst. His perfume was alluring, and every glance from him was like a small punch to my heart. It was a moment of vulnerability and longing.

H2: The School Function and the Dancer

One school function, where the echoes of happiness filled the auditorium, was a turning point. A group of six girls began a dance performance that captured everyone's attention. Among them was the one whose eyes stole my heart. It was a moment of pure bewitchment.

Back home that day, adrenaline still pumping through my veins, I went into my 'hacker' mode and searched for her on Facebook and Instagram. It was a combination of curiosity and a full-scale mission to find this mystical muse. I stumbled upon an adorable picture of her from childhood and immediately pinned her image as my phone wallpaper, asserting my coolness. It was a moment of simple joy and escape.

H2: Facing the Realities

When my mother saw the wallpaper, she inquired. My quick response was a blend of sarcasm and truth. 'That's just a dream, a sweet dream,' I replied. The image stayed on my phone for weeks, a silent tribute of my unfulfilled desire. However, I knew I couldn’t hold on to it for long. If my friends found out, the teasing would be unbearable, so I bid farewell to the wallpaper.

H2: Conclusion

That was the last time I had a crush. Despite the passage of time, I still have that cherished image tucked away somewhere. Crushes are a beautiful and often fleeting part of the teenage journey, and they remind us of the power of first impressions and the complexities of human connection.
