Fonsetta's Story-   It was 6:30am and I was in the 7th grade.  A big girl now, so I thought.  I saw him outside the bus window at the next stop.  As he walked down the aisle to his seat I was mesmerized.  His eyes, his waves, LOL!  I was instantly in love.  For the next two years, I admired him from afar.  I would still a glance every chance that I could.  Stare at the back of his head on the bus.  Look for him in the hallways of HJ Middle school. He never looked at me and I was always afraid that he would catch me staring at him.  The skinny, nerdy girl with the thick glasses knew he would never really see her.  So I continued to admire and love him from afar.  Hundreds of bus rides and stops.  On and off of the bus. Seventh grade passes, eigth grade and he still hasn't noticed me.  Eigth grade passes as his picture fades in my 8th grade yearbook from the saliva of my kisses,(I still have the yearbook as proof). Ninth grade comes and I bury myself into sports and school, thinking a love lost.  Fast forward 25+ years.  Who knew Facebook would be so powerful.  The love I never knew in the seventh and eight grade hit me like a ton of bricks.  I wasn't looking, didn't want it and didn't think that I needed it.  Casual conversation over the course of a few months led to LOVE-True, Pure and Sure!  I have reconnected or shall I say connected, he never did look at me before, with my soulmate.  A year later he proposed and it was truly a feeling of destiny!
