In second grade I met a boy named Danny.  He was very tall.  Had dark hair slicked back. And was the handsomest boy I had ever met.  I had a crush on him from afar for months, one day I finally got up the courage to talk to him.  He kicked me in the knee.  I started crying, not because my knee hurt, but for love lost.  The next day Arlo, the boy who sat behind me, cut off the bottom of my ponytail.  I never thought about Danny again.
