I hated the idea of it. 12 year olds weren't suppose to do it. It was considered a sin in my book. My boyfriend always asked me "Why do you hate 6th graders going out?" I would in turn reply, "It's not 6th grade itself but 12 year olds.12 is way too young. you have to be 13 or older in order to date." Of course like 12 and 13 are a big difference but whatever. Of course he would ask, "But you're 12 and you're going out with me,so why are you breaking your own rules?" " Yeah well it's not that easy. I really liked you and I needed to take up that opportunity. But trust me babe, if I could re-do all of this when I'm 13 I would."

Kory and I had our "whoopsies" over the months but I liked learning from them and believe me, it was not easy. It was like swallowing nails. We were at recess when I was walking on the ledge holding Kory's shoulder for ballence. The bell rang for us to come inside, and we were all alone well at the back of the line (close enough) and I don't know what possesed me but I side hugged him. Yup, I know I did it. Go ahead and shunn me. Well for some reason I started freaking out when I saw the teacher looking at me. Yeah, smart choice Eileen. When we were all lined up the teacher called us out to talk to us. The only thing I was thinking of was, why did the freaking teaher decide to pull us over in front of everyone, talk loudly to where everyone could hear, and do it after we lined up? It was like she was trying to get everyone in our buisness and get bad publicity. The conversation with the teacher went kind of like this; "Do you know why I called you two over here? We were both thinking, to humiliate us? " because of the hug?" "yes P.D.A. So you have two choices, do it again and you call your parents, or you don't do it again and we don't call your parents." Well we were being smart asses in our head and thinking doing it again and not getting caught but we chose the 2nd one. So we went back to class. It was hard hearing all the rumors as we passed through the hallway. Some were, I bet they "did it" in the red slide, or maybe they were kissing by the fence. We both knew they weren't true and it was just a hug but they wouldn't listen so why bother? We both felt that one teacher, famously called the sledge hammer, was watching us like voltures. Maye we were just paranoid, I think not. She always seperated us, and never just let us be.We were getting annoied now. So things died down and so we thought it was all over. It wasn't, of course how could we think such a thing? Us crazy people. About a month later Kory and I were in the hall way during passing period. We got into a play fight, about something so I just walked away but he grabbed my arm to stop me. Well I got away and went into my classroom and a minute later I hear the other teacher from down the hallway yell, "Kory Reischling! come here!" I quickly skidaddled, then I heard all of the ooh's and aah's of the remaining kids in the hallway. And of course the teacher called me into the hallway too. When I got into the hallway, the teacher claimed that if she weren't there that we would have kissed. At the moment she said that, so many reasons started shooting through my head why that statement was incorrect. 1st of all, we were in front of the strictest teacher in our school so that would be suicidle. 2nd of all we were upset with each other, so why would we kiss? 3rd we were no where near each other. And last of all the teacher said that if we hadn't seen her we would have done it, but neither of us saw her in the first place.Well we both stood there listening to her lecture and thinking how idiotic they were. I looked over to the side zoning the teachers out as usual, when I see Kory's dad outside looking at us. Just swell. The lecture was over and we went back to class yet again for the 2nd time. Kory later told me that his dad didn't even care so that was a relief. Of course we heard all the rumors again but even better this time. We just laughed at this point because we knew they were just rumors. We were then tired of all the bad attention so we would think of game plans to get us through the rest of the year. One which Kory, the evil genious he is, was we should fake break up and make it noticed then the teachers would feel bad and leave us alone when we got together again.My idea was be really bad and get us suspended and sent to A.C so we were away from the old hags, so as you can see they were both two very different ideas. We couldn't decided on either one considering that we couldn't be away from each other if we faked breaking up, and we couldn't afford going to A.C. (ruine our rep. and bad on our reccords.) So we both sucked it up and went through the rest of the year best we could. But I could tell God was defianetly testing us. So at this point all the staff knew we were dating, except for one person. Poor mrs. Mccammon, she was considered an outsider in this whole shabang. Mrs.Taylor the teaher who called us over in the hallway, liked to talk to all the so called popular kids in our grade. So one day she was with them when they told her that Kory and I misbehave at band. So she asked Mr.Schmidt to talk to me because evidentally I was the "good person" in this relationship.And so he did. The conversation went smooth, he just said he heard rumors about us and wanted to make sure that my parents knew all about this. I told him that they did just so he could stop pestering me about it and then it was over. Not even that painful. Now let me recap things here for you here. All the teachers, all the student body, and now our band director knew that Kory and I were going out. So who coud possibly be left to know but our very own parents. One summer night I went to Kory's house to eat diner and a movie. His family was downstairs and we were upstairs. In his bed. All alone. Watching a movie. Did I mention we were alone? We were watching Edward Scissor Hands when he leaned over me and kissed me out of the middle of no where. We sat back in bed astounded at what we had done. Then of course it was time to leave. The next day I couldn't help but write him a letter of our experiance the other night. Well he accidentaly left his letter in the wide open space to where his parents could see. His dad being the responsible dad he is, told my mom. Wow that is epic. She had a civilized talk with me which ended up in her tears thinking I was growing up too fast which I am. Our parents then on kept a close watch on us. Kory of course never thought anything of this. But I figured that the teachers were just doing their job and our parents were afraid of us growing up. So a tip for all: don't date at a young age. You will be foolish without even thinking of it and it will haunt you.Trust me, I have experiance.
