Did I seriously just say "no"?
This one is simple, yet completely inexplicable.
Seventh grade. A sparkly, liquid-filled bracelet fad was sweeping the school and I was wearing one given to me by one of my friends who had like 12 of them.
I was sitting next to this girl I liked. We had lab tables, only two people to a table and she always sat next to me so I thought maybe she liked me too.
During class, the two of us talked the whole time and when the bell rang, we started walking to lunch together. As we're walking, she says "can I wear your bracelet?"
Inside, I was like "yeessssss" but in response, I said "no." I have no clue why but I suspect mind control.
She was like "...okay" and we went our separate ways.
After that, she didn't sit by me.
Now, I'm not great at striking up a conversation with a girl but once it's going I do exceptionally well. This was literally the first and last time I feel like I completely messed up when talking to a girl.
It will always haunt me because it would have been so easy to avoid.
