Who was your "One that got away?"

Closest i can even come to that was when i spent probably less than 3 months in this high school before i transferred to a different school, there was this boy who was really into me and i was into him too but i was so shy to talk to him. He was trying to send his friends over to ask if i liked him and i said yeah but we just were both too shy and i transferred out pretty quickly after.

One day not long after i was at the grocery store with my mom when she points out a boy at the register a few rows away from us. She said he was staring at me and trying to get my attention. I noticed him but was so shy i ran out of there.

I had low confidence as a teen but i always wondered, what if?

HBU?

One of my worst memories is realizing I went over to brag to the girl I had attached my heart to. My little 10 year old heart couldn't handle overhearing that she was going to hide the results of a competitive tests that she completely under performed in I was going to brag about being near the top. I had to stop myself from falling over from the daze and shame when I heard that I was going to hurt someone I had kinda fallen in love with.

I left that town one a half months later trying to get time to talk with her but failing. In the end, it's just an awful memory with a character trait embedded into my system. I have never bragged of my achievements since that day as a point of pride.
