So my friend Suzanne from 6th grade sent me a message to say “Guess what? I found Amy on Facebook” Whaaaaat? No way. my first real girlfriend from Grove Park Elementary ? WOW! Over 20 years ago. This is the girl I compared future girlfriends with from that point on for the next few years.

I was instantly in the popular crowd for dating her. Every young boy wanted her.  I’ve always wondered how she was doing. I wonder how often she’s thought about me through out the years?? Has she looked for me?? How great was this reunion going to be?!?

So I sent her a message. “Wow is this really my first real girlfriend Amy from 6th grade??” to which I got a response…..”Ummm your face looks vaguely familiar but I’m sorry…. I don’t think I was ever your girlfriend.”

WOW! I am in shock and devastated. I am speechless.

No you know what, it’s been over 20 years. I’ll refresh her memory. Not only do I have to get her to remember ME as a person i need to get her to remember we were bf/gf ….

Maybe if I tell her how she broke up with me she’ll remember and obviously if there was a “break up” there was “bf/gf relationship”! One day in the cafeteria I was sitting at one end of the table with friends and you were at the other with your friends (cause I guess that’s how 6th graders do it). You passed word down the table like the telephone game that you wanted to break up with me mainly cause I was too scared to kiss you. I was not only heartbroken that you just broke up with me but I was more embarrassed that the whole 6th grade class knew before I did. I left the cafeteria bawling my eyes out.

to which she replied…. “You most definitely have the wrong girl. I am sorry I would NEVER do that, that’s awful”

Am I going crazy??

Okay one last attempt…. This has to remind you…. For valentine’s day I got you flowers and YOU bought me one of the most badass gifts for a 6th grader. Airwalk skate shoes!!!

It worked!!! “Oh yeah now I totally remember, wow….” then she started down naming off many more memories of our young relationship. Yes!! I am no longer devastated. redemption. whew that was close..

to which she sent another message saying “Wow, so what junior high school did you end up going to?”

FML.

Dear Amy (first gf), I was in YOUR homeroom class for 3 YEARS of junior high! wow looks like i’m back to feeling like im forgettable.

Not only has she NOT thought about me and looked for me over the years. She NEVER EVEN looked for me in 7th grade!!

At least Suzanne remembered what Amy  & I had!!! haha Thanks girl.
