Recalling how this shy cowboy met the love of his life

To obtain all the necessary credits, I had to take Grade 10 math and that classroom was right next to my homeroom, so I was the first one there every day. I’d watch the kids filing to their desks and there was one beautiful girl who caught my attention. With much anticipation, I’d look forward to seeing her coming into the room every day. She was very trim and had long, straight brown hair. She didn’t look around much, and was all business as she walked straight to her desk at the front of the room and sat down. I thought she appeared to be quite snooty.
