Only one

I attended a private church school. When I was a freshmen, 8th graders from around the area were brought to the school to interest them in being students, the next year.

That is when I saw her again.

A lot of things had changed in that 8 years.

She had grown up. Up to 5’ 3” that is. I was at the far end of a growth spurt that put me even with the 6’ marker.

She was beautiful (I appreciated girls by then) and wonderful.

I looked the group of 8th graders over, sizing them up as only a high school freshman who has never had a girl friend could: “That red head is the only one in the bunch.”

Hmm.
