Alter Boy

“You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover’s arms can only come later when you’re sure they won’t laugh if you trip.“ Jonathan Carroll

When I was in 3rd grade, my friend Krystelle and I had a crush on this boy named Alter. One day Krystelle told me that she’s going to ask for Alter’s phone number and I should go with her. So we moseyed up to him and asked for his number saying we needed it for a school project.

The minute I got home, I immediately dialed his number and called him. His mother answered, but I pretended to be Krystelle. But when Alter picked up the phone, I hung up feeling all giddy and excited on what I just did. I did that everyday for almost 2 weeks.

One day at school, Alter came up to me and basically told me to stop calling him. I found out that, it wasn’t just me who did the call and hangup thing. It turned out that Krystelle did it too using my name! I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t look both of them in the eye.

Anyway, Alter just added me in Friendster. It’s just amusing thinking about what had happened. To think that just dialing his number took a lot of courage from me because I was a shy girl. I must really liked him.

Hahaha! Funny.
