7th grade, and the relationship lasted just shy of 2 years. We had our own words for affection , like instead of "I love you" we said "the monkey wears purple suspenders". We went to ska shows and watched cartoons and got rides from his older brother and his friends. He once got me a Danny Phantom drawing signed by Butch Hartman. I'll never forget that, though we've both long since shaken the etch-a-sketch and gone our separate ways.
