It is near the end of the school year for me in seventh grade. That day was when a girl was standing by a stop sign waiting for her mom to pick her up. I saw her, gave her a little tap in the shoulder and she turned around. We have never really talked nor really knew each other. It was just if we saw each other we would just say hi’s or hay’s. Throughout the year, I have secretly liked her and no one knew. So I decided that today would be the day I try to know something cool about her. Her mom was coming late today so it was a perfect time to start a great conversation. The year was 2009 when times where golden and people where socially acceptable. We talked about various things, from sports all the way to discussing Asian parents. There was at one point where she asked me if I liked anyone, I just said, “Yes, and is quite close to me… physically.” She answered, “Cool.” I thought she would guess it out. But that was the day when I made a friend that is still one of my best friends today. Even though I am in Taiwan we managed to remain in contact through Facebook and Oovoo webcams.
My senses was beyond what I can normally feel. I felt warm though it was a pretty chilly day, I could hear the voice of her talking to me as if she had known me for all my life. I could smell the green grass from people mowing there lawns in nearby houses across the street. I could see the beautiful face of the girl and the big red stop sign. The stop sign is a symbol that never left me. Whenever I see a "proper" stop sign around me, it brings up memory of the conversation with the girl. I tasted the crisp sweetness of the air and it felt as if I was drinking some kind of a mineral water. Another thing I felt, I felt happy.
