Omens

Once upon a time there was a boy. He was lively and funny and mischivious, as most boys. He was starting to grow into teenage youngster, in the last year of his elementary school there were a couple of girls he liked. It is the age when you start to actually like girls.

One day he was asked who he liked and he, mature in some ways and stupid in others, answered truthfully. A class later, during recess his young and immature friends grabbed him. The boy was tall and heavy so this was done between several classmates, who obviously had this planned. They dragged the boy to the corner of the classroom where one of the girls he liked seated. He was red but he resisted and managed to stop in the back of the classroom. His technique was simple, if they wanted to take him they would have to carry him. He decided to sit over a desk. This was foolish when he thought about it after all the incident finished because after he seated he was pushed and fell lying backwards over the desk. In the meantime while all tis happened other group of classmates had been a vanguard and went to this girl to tell her about this boy's feelings.

The boy was already lying on the desk, and kept that way by his classmates, the girls slowly walked towards this ruckus. Once next to the boy and the ones that held him she leaned and said; "Yes." Then she leaned a littel more and kissed the boy on his cheek. Then she was all red too and left the classroom running.

The boys said afterwards that su actually tried to kiss the boy in the mouth but she missed becasue of the boy's struggle to break free of their grip.

The boy was unsure what to do. He was overwhelmend with awkwardness. He was unsure if he wanted a girlfriend, he was usure he of what that meant, he was unsure what to do. His other asked him that afternoon if he had a girlfriend because she herd a rumor. He denied it. He was afraid so he simply ingnored the girl.

That story is almost normal. When someone faces this situations without experience, and also being young, that tends to happen still years later the boy kept two thing in mind, the first one was that he felt a bit a guilt because he was not sure if he hurt the girl's feeling but that is something he will never know. The third one is that he believes that that was some sort of omen. An omen of all the failures that were to come.
