I can't remember the year exactly but it was the year of my dad's high school reunion. One of his friends came from out of town and brought his kids. His daughter was a couple of years older than me. I think her name was Krista Birkelo or something.
I think Kevin must have been there and I think John and Derek were too but I'm not sure. We were all playing video games in my room. Through the course of the night, I fell in love with her. As a little boy, this happened to me a lot of times with a lot of girls;
unrequited love with some random girl and dreaming of her for the next few weeks.
Anyway, nothing happened because I was just a little boy and she could not have possibly had any interest other than to be flattered. But afterwards I went around telling my friends and my cousins that we kissed. I think the lie grew bigger with time and some people were told that I copped a feel.
Well, nothing actually happened other than me maybe fooling some people for a few moments. Eventually I came clean. I continued to be the one cousin that had not kissed a girl for the longest time.
