Title: Crush

Words: 388

Do you remember when you were younger and you thought that something, or someone in this case, was the best thing ever created? Younger, being when you were around thirteen? Maybe it's just me.

So in middle school, there was a boy that I was absolutely and utterly infatuated with- an older Moroi boy. He was sixteen- god this is so embarrassing- and we saw each other every so often at Royals social functions such as family reunions and social banquets. Now, remember, this was only about a week long obsession.

Every time I was close to him, my stomach would fill with butterflies. When he would look at me with those green eyes, such pretty eyes, I could barely speak. His brown hair was styled as if he'd just got out of bed (and it was very likely he just did), yet it was absolutely adorable.

He was always cheerful and friendly. He would talk to anybody that would talk to him, even though he was a Royal. He could bring a smile to anybody's face. Despite these traits, even I, the infatuated middle-schooler, could see he was a player. He would be with any girl that would be with him (and that was pretty much every girl). Then he would just lose interest in the conquest. However, he never used me like the other girls. He was often seen hanging out with Andre and they had become great friends. He called me cousin and treated me like I was his favorite (and only) sister.

Although Rose and I were great friends and we told each other everything, I never told her his name. We would gossip about how adorable I believed he was and how he would kiss (he had to kiss well, how else would he get the girls?).

Yeah, that obsession didn't last too long. Soon, the interest faded, replaced with a sisterly affection, as his cheerfulness faded to moodiness, and he took up drinking and smoking. I stopped talking to him, especially after Andre's death.

Now I have to decided to get it out of my system and admit who I'd had a crush on. I feel absolutely nothing towards him now, but I know Rose would make fun of me until the end of my days. The object of my middle-school crush was...

...a sixteen-year-old Adrian Ivashkov.

((Please don't tell Christian.))

Is this even realistic? I figured they would probably know each other before Frostbite since their both Royals. I did the math and when Lissa was thirteen, Adrian would have been fifteen or sixteen and I think it would have been before the effects of Spirit really began. It seems reasonable that Adrian and Andre were friends.

So I was thinking that I could expand this story so it's not only Lissa but pretty much everyone. Your ideas? Originally, I wanted to do just Lissa because she and Christian are my favorite, but as I'm writing this, I'm thinking of drabbles for everyone else to. I want your input on this.

Please review! I love when I get follows but I would like to know what you like/dislike about the story! It doesn't really take too long and I need input from people to be able to know what I should do to give you guys what you want to read.
