Heartbreak: Over 100 People Share How Their Crushes Went Wrong
When I was in middle school, I was riding home on my bike from school and noticed a group of girls several years older than me. Coincidentally, across the street was the boy who I had a big crush on. I was riding on the pavement and thought I could try to impress the boy by overtaking the older girls. I planned to drop down into the roadway, pass them aggressively then jump back to the curb ahead of them. As it turns out, my lovesick brain overwhelmed my logic and I severly miscalculated the jump, which ended with me tossed out into oncoming traffic. As I scrambled to get back onto the pavement, my bike flew off the ground and I was chucked head first into a bush. My goal was actually achieved: my crush came over to help and even called me cute when I started crying. I haven’t ridden a bike since.
