When I was in grade eight, I developed this sort of crush on a girl in my class, KL. She was bright and bespectacled and a fairly typical member of the more or less in-crowd of girls in my class: academically gifted and successful, attuned to the vagaries of what was fashionable for teenagers, e.g. manners of dress as well as the latest popular music, etc. My crush was perhaps better described as an obsession, which I doggedly pursued with a disturbing determination and for a disturbingly long time - throughout the winter and spring of grade eight and through the summer and autumn and winter of grade nine.
