#also she thought it was scandalous that sisters (2nd and 3rd) had watched wednesday

A 6th grader was complaining to me about the boys basketball team going to her team’s game because she said they were trying to be annoy and embarrass them. I told her they were going because their coach told them to and most of them probably have crushes on the girls in class (yeah some might be gay but it’s a Catholic school so most bi/pan kids don’t realize the same gender is an option and based on my old class the ones going to the other genders games were the ones who had crushes on them)

So, she was insistent that they were being annoying on purpose and the girls team was going to get them back by embarrassing them at their game. She said they’re going to make a big poster saying something like ‘Go Team’ to embarrass them…I told her that they’re bad at embarrassing people. So, I said maybe the other girls in her class have crushes on the boys and don’t want to admit liking them. She said they’re weird, I asked because they have crushes, and she said no because they aren’t her type.

I asked her what her type is and she said she didn’t know. I know she’s an avid reader so I asked what fictional characters or actors she has crushes on. Over 15 min, she was only able to come up with one character from Gilmore Girls (either Jess or Jason). So, now I have a suspicion that one of the kids might be aro/acespec although definitely romance favorable since she’s been asking all the kindgarten and first graders who they have a crush on as well as watching 2 of the 5th graders with me who seem to be acting out an enemies to lovers subplot (although my mom and her think she’s too good for him, but he has a good heart although he can be manipulative but he knows better than to try anything with her)

I can only hope that if one day she decides she doesn’t want a relationship, she will remember me telling her brother (and 8 year old who was insistent that at 22 I must be dating someone) that I have not dated anyone and have no plans to date anyone because I have more time to do what I love when I don’t have to focus on an SO
