Did you ever have the chance to do something you really wanted to do, but you just didn't have the nerves? Well I encountered something similar to that. It started when I was thirteen, back in Junior high school. That was the awkward age when everyone was beginning to mature and grow those awful bumps all over their faces. Which we were told meant that we were growing up, but in my situation, pimples were not the problem, my weight was. I was 5"9 250 pounds, with my shoes off. My weight created an impact on my life that I will never forget, and most importantly it created a lack of self-confidence, which didn't help my relation's with others. .
It was a Friday night, and there was a social at the school. I spent an hour or so primping for the dance, making sure that everything was in its place. This was the night that I would take a chance and ask the most beautiful girl in school for a dance. She was around 5"4" with long blonde hair and the most gorgeous blue eyes I've ever seen, rivaling those of Paul Newman or Frank Sinatra. She wore a kind of smile that could make even the unhappiest person forget their troubles and smile back. She simply personified beauty in all of its forms. Her name was Jessica Morton, and before the night was over, she was going to know my name too.
I went over the lines of how I was going to approach her. She was wonderful inside and out. The thought of talking to her sent an eerie chill down my back. The idea of physical contact would be like heaven on earth. This was the night that she was going to notice me. I walked through the cold brisk air to the gymnasium, when I open the door a blast of hot muggy wind covered my face. I started sweating right away. Everyone was cramped in the old small gym, which was filled with about four hundred seventh and eighth graders. I peered though the artificial fog and helium filled balloons for anybody I recognized. I finally found my gang of friends in the middle of the dance floor.
