Drake

I knew him since the 4th grade. He was my first crush, I remember my stomach jumping every time I saw him. I felt suffocated everyday in class. Then the last say of school he asked me out. I said no because then I was smarter and know we were too you.
Ten years later I'm at the market buying a pregnancy test, and there he is- Drake, from the 5th grade. He was still so cute, not chubby like  he was but still his face was the same. We chatted and he asked for my number and of course I gave it to him. No call came.
Five years later I was a mother. Drake brought his dog to my sister's dog kennel and she spoke to me about him often-even before I had my daughter who was 2 at the time. Always, my sister would say "Oh Drake brought Sparks today."
Finally after years of these comments and me wondering how Drake was and what he was like as an adult, I asked him to be my friend on Facebook. He accepted and we talked daily.
