I have so many good stories from high school. Maybe because it was my age of awkwardness?
In 9th and 10th grade I had a huge school girl crush on an older football player. My friend was dating one of his friends at the time so we would be together often. During the first few months of school, anyone who was in the Italian club would host an exchange student for two weeks from Italy. Many of the people in our group of friends were in the Italian club. One night we decided to take all of them out to dinner to a nice restaurant. There were at least 15 of us. My two friends and I were the only sophomores in the sea of seniors and juniors. It was a big deal at this age to be hanging out with the older boys. We were all sitting down and my crush was going around the table to give people frivolous "ciao's" and kisses on the cheek to show off the goofy things he had learned from the Italian students. He came to me first. Oh was I excited. So excited that I went in for a REAL kiss instead of just a kiss on the cheek like everyone else. EVERYONE saw this happen and stared at me but did not say anything. I was mortified!!! Why would I ever think that a boy that did not even know I liked him would just kiss me in front of everyone? Man was I in dreamland. I had secretly hoped no one noticed until I got the hilarious after comment from someone. The senior my friend was dating decided to say "Way to kiss him in front of everyone at the table." I guess they did notice.
