Mrs.T: You don't want me to move you now, do you?
Miss M (at 15): No!
Mrs.T: Good because then he'd have a heart attack if I did!
The "he" in this conversation refers to a boy in my math group. I was having problems with one of my other group members, and had asked the teacher to never put me in a group with her again. I should probably mention I liked this boy at the time,(whom for the sake of the blog we'll call Mr.Wpf) and that I was confused by her "heart attack" comment. To this day, I'm not quite sure what she meant.
I associate that year with really liking him, and having eyes only for him. Apparently this is incorrect. Last night I couldn't sleep so I ended up digging out my diary from high school. I cringed going over the entries...but that isn't the point. Most of my entries don't mention Mr.Wpf, they're about some other guy (I remember having a crush on, but not liking). Mr.Wpf doesn't even get mentioned until April sophomore year, and it's some measly sentence. I did write about him though that year, but I guess those thoughts and memories are lost in notes I wrote to friends.
I do talk about him more junior year in my diary...but even then it's not how I remember it. I don't remember not speaking to him for two weeks, or talking about the Cali university I stayed at that summer (the one his sister was attending that fall). Then my diary cuts off, 3 entries after that one. I never finished it, I have a little less then half way to go. But still, I can't help but wonder why I remember him most, why he gets credited with being the big high school "like".

You know what's weird is that after 4 (almost 5) years I now forget who Mr.Wpf stands for. However after you mentioned his sister I think that only leads to one person. What surprises me is the heart attack comment...I didn't know you were in a group with him and having problems with another memeber of the group. Usually I would remember something like that. The early signs of Alzheimer's is present :-)
