Each year in school, I see most of the same kids. But there is almost always a new kid or two. This month we started 5th grade, and a girl named Melissa joined our class. She is almost my height, with dark blonde hair, and a nice smile. I really have a kind of crush on her. But, she seems more interested in two other boys in our class. I'm jealous of that attention. I've tried talking to her a few times, and she's friendly enough, but she doesn't ask me any questions. She's just not that interested in me. I felt less of myself because of this.
I wouldn't have mentioned Melissa, except that she has one quality about her that makes her even more attractive to me. She wears tights. Lots of tights. Almost every day she has tights on, and with either sandals or open toed shoes. It's only in the winter when she wears shoes that cover her feet completely.
