The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

My first, and second year of high school was a great opportunity, but the fall of 1974, was tough for me. It was the year, like my first year, that i really fell in love, I wasn't even sure, that i would be that lucky, to fall in love as i did. I thought it was going to be a year, that i would only see other couples in love, in the halls, let alone be one of the guys, that actually did fall in love, as i did the previous year, with both girls named Jane. Around November of that year, i was hanging out with a small group of friends, at lunch. I did have a crush on a girl, that sat at the table with me, and the others. She was nicknamed "Mousey," because she had this cute high pitched voice, that was cute, and sexy to me. She was a petite girl, that was slightly shorter than i was, with a petite figure. I was attracted to her. but i was too shy, to ever tell her how i felt, so being the shy type, i kept my feelings secret, along with the other secret i was hiding, and denying about myself. I hadn't been there for very long, when Sue walked in. She came over to the table i was at. I was literally struck dumb, for that brief moment we first saw each other i knew i was falling in love. She made my eyes light up, i felt tingly all over. I could hear the roar of the ocean in my mind, the sound of crystal pieces making tinkling music, as the chandelier swung back and forth, i could hear the music box playing, "Josette's Theme". What i saw in Sue, was beautiful. i hadn't felt something like that since Jane, The girl i met, and dated in my first year of high school. I knew i was in love, so i had to do something to get her attention. I had to make a move. What i did, was walk her out of the cafeteria before she left me, she leaned in close to whisper something to me, that i can't remember now. Our faces weren't more than an inch apart, that's when it hit me, she felt the same way I did, that feeling was love. We got together not long after that, we had our first date which was in the lounge, drinking sodas in this department store, called "Grand Way". It was a dream come true, that i hoped would never end. That was also the day we shared a first kiss, i hoped that wouldn't end either. I fell in love with Sue, so deeply, i wanted her, to be my steady girl, for that entire school year. I felt lucky to have met her when i did, after my romance with Jane, came to a blinding, sad end. I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did. I was kind of sad, that it did end, but when i went back to school that fall of 74, i didn't think i'd meet anyone, or fall in love, but i did, which was a big surprise to me. When Sue and i met, at first i thought we'd only be friends, but that changed very quickly, for both She and i. The big part of it all, is that i was turning 18, that November she and i became a couple, so very close to my Birthday. She suprised me, with a gold ring, that had leaf etchings in the band.
She told me, it was a friendship ring, but what other people told me, it was a wedding band. That freaked me out at first, then, i started to like it, i made sure to have it with me every day, I cherished the ring It meant the world to me, but not long after that, the relationship we had, began to change, there were days, i didn't see her in school, i got worried about it, that i was losing her, that the fire was dying out between us. I didn't want to lose her, because she made my dreams, and wishes come true. I got a copy of Santana's latest record, "Borboletta", it seemed like every track on that album, reminded me, of her, i was listening to it, all the time, so i could think of her. We did eventually break up, it took alot out of me, that i went into a depression. I was so afraid to see her in school, that whenever i did see her, i ran from her, that made me feel worse. I couldn't do anything that's how bad i felt every time i listened to that "Santana" album, i'd be reduced to tears. It hurt bad to be without her, but i could do nothing about it. I still think about her, i still listen to that album, just to go back in time, to relive the memories, i still cry, knowing how much i loved her, and still love her, even now, when we only dated for 4 weeks. It was a starcrossed romance, because i was 17 turning 18. She was 14 that year after my Birthday, in 1974.
