A Longtime (and at one point Illegal) Crush

by Janette Rallison

From the day Elsie’s older brother brought his friend Kye McBride over to their house, Elsie adored him. When she was eight, she secretly blew kisses to him. When she was twelve, she sat on the stairs unnoticed and watched him escort another girl to prom. When she was a senior in high school, she walked into math class and found out he was her new math teacher.

With that much emotion fueling her, things were bound to go wrong. And they did. Elsie not only spent the last two weeks of school avoiding him, she turned avoiding-Kye-at-all-costs into her life-long philosophy.

Now three years have passed and Elsie has come home for her brother’s wedding. She’s got to face Kye-–hopefully without getting crushed again.

Short story, but it totally works. The romance, this history, the characters. I was afraid a few times that it would be horrifyingly embarrassing but Janette Rallison is far too kind for that. Instead it's sweet and not horrible at all. It would make a great tv movie or novel without the short story feeling incomplete.
