In my senior year of high school, I took this Asian Studies class that met before school started. They were called "zero period" classes because they were the hour before regular, required school. So there was this guy in the class that I developed a crush on, and I noticed he was always there super early. I started going to this class that already met extra early even earlier just to sit there in the classroom hoping that, since we were the only two people in there that early, he would talk to me. Yeah, that whole semester, he never would talk to me and I was sad (er, in more ways than one)
But today, ten years later, he's my husband so I guess it paid off in the end ...
