The First One Is Always The Hardest
First girl I ever had a crush on liked this dude in a band. 12-year-old me thinks, “If I learn an instrument, she’ll like me, too!” So I convince my parents to buy me a drum set. One day, I ask her what her favorite song is. She says “One” by Metallica.
I spend two weeks learning that song on the drums, eventually developing what would become chronic tendinitis in my right arm. I ask her to come over to hang out and listen to music. She comes over. I’m goofing around on my drums, hanging out, waiting for “One” to come on the CD player.
Then my best guy friend shows up. Total clam jam, but whatever, we’ll get past it. Twenty minutes later, they’re making out in my pool and I’m sitting alone on the pool deck. Story Credit: Reddit/thatJainaGirl
