When i was in 3rd grade, i went to spend the night with courtney on new year's eve. They came to my house to pick me up and wesley barged into my room and made me upset...he reached under my bed and pulled out my Barbie cars and started racing them..it is definately a fond memory now. Later, that evening, we watched "Ernest goes to jail" and i remember seeing his face light up as he laughed at all of the corny jokes. That beautiful, happy, heartfelt laugh that was so original and only his will haunt me forever. This past year, (pre-driver's license) wesley and i were assigned to sit together on the bus. I have so many great memories from that long bus ride every day. I remember how Wesley used to sit next to me and he would take my little wiggling hamster and pull its tail and put it on my leg. We would laugh at it. I remember that he would always ask me to put on more lipstick on and then he would make me kiss his cheeks so that the kiss print stayed. I remember how one day, Wesley wrote me a little note, which i still have, and he took my planner and wrote it "call Wesley" for that night. I was so flattered because i had had a crush on wesley since he first moved here. I never called him that night, but he did call me soon after and then we would spend a long time on the phone just talking and joking. I was in heaven because Wes was so easy to talk to and yet so incredibly sexy. He called me from his dad's and his mom's and every time i would stop what i was doing, because he was more important. He would always look at me with those big, puppy dog eyes and ask me to go with him, joking and I always felt a little pang when i told him that i couldn't because i had a boyfriend at the time. Even thought i knew he wasn't serious, i loved wesley so much. How can you not? We sat together every day. After a few short weeks, i came to look forward to the bus ride more than anything else. I came out of my shell--i laughed and joked around. I loved Wesley so much..first it was a crush, crush..but then it was more of an "i love him because he makes me feel good about things" kind of feeling. I remember that at assemblies, he would sit behind me and he blew on the back of my neck. As soon as i would turn around, he would avert his eyes to look off into space. That is the Wesley i will remember. He was one of those people who change you. He changed me from a quiet girl to a girl who spoke up and joked right along with the big boys..and for that i will never forget him.--Until we meet again, I love you Wesley!
