It was absolutely disgusting—no, we didn’t make out in the hallways. However, during our class break she did like to sit on my lap. I actually feel bad for the people who had to be around us in retrospect. Despite that, everyone said we were the cutest couple. Oh the honeymoon phase. As time passed, she dropped a bomb on me. She didn’t want a long distance relationship. This was because of the fact we weren’t going to the same University. Despite what she said, I decided to just push forward and see where this summer love would take us. I learned more things about her, like that she didn’t party and she had no father anymore. One thing she learned about me. I was never kissed on the lips. She made that my graduation present the day after we graduated. It was just a peck, but that seemed enough for me. Over the next few weeks, we did a lot of things together in between work. I had a job as a Kumon instructor and I was making a lot of money. So much in fact, that instead of saving it, I spent it as we went out. We went to the movies, out to dinner, and other things. It was a different thing most days. I even planned for us to see the Jabbawockeez. Lesson 27 Never treat your significant other all the time. True love isn’t measured by the money spent, but the effort put into the relationship. This goes both ways. Money is a cover-up to shower a person with things they want. Also, if a person just lets you spend their money on them, they must not really care about your financial situation. Another thing to note is that I was foolish enough to make a promise that only lasted a week or so Lesson 28 “Never make a promise that you can’t keep.” A simple saying, but it has so much to it. That probably brought down her trust in me a lot, at least with the things I said. I stopped making promises to my memory. Next Part: 1 Month and Beyond
