Hi Pretty Boy

So I told my brother that that was going to be my pick up line in the future. All I would have to do is walk up to a boy and say, "Hi pretty boy." Then of course we would fall in love and get married. I don't think it actually works like that. I did have quite a few crushes back then though. Of course most of my crushes happened to be my brother's friends from the neighborhood. They were two years older than me and sooo cool. I mean these boys got to go to the 9:00-midnight skate session, they were practically grown-ups.

My biggest neighborhood crush was Cody. He was was Dennis's best friend and he was at our house a lot. I would always try to play with them even though neither of them wanted me to. I had this big trash bag full of fabric scraps and some sewing stuff. One night some of my friends were over and we were playing in the fabric, just making little things and I had a great idea. I decided that I would make Cody a pair of boxers. It was so scandalous, but I thought it would definitely make him fall in love me. I really liked to pretend that I was dating AJ from backstreet boys, Chris from N'Sync, and Drew from 98 degrees, but I knew that I actually may have a real chance with Cody. So I made him a pair of boxers. Then when Dennis and Cody came home that night Sarah Margaret immediately tells Cody that I made him something. It was at this point that I realized I had made a huge mistake. I could not make boxers for the boy I liked. He would think that I was weird! All I could do was bashfully hand them to him and awkwardly chuckle and say it was a joke. Then I ran to my room and hid for the rest of the night. Cody and I were not soul mates after all.

Another crush I had was one of Dennis's friends, but he was also one of my best friend's brother. His name was Brad. He rode a loogie green Fat Boy trick bike. What could be better? He was always playing pranks on Corie, Sally, and I when we spent the night at Sally's house. One time when I was spending the night it was time to get ready for bed. I was changing clothes in Sally's room when Brad busted in to ask if he could borrow her Chumbawumba CD. I was naked. We were both embarrassed. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. We were not soul mates either. I don't know if I ever told Sally that I had a humungo crush on her brother. Sally, if you are reading this, I used to think I was in love with Brad.
I have yet to use my pick up line. Maybe one day. I still think it could work.
