The Onion Ring Story

The other day I was talking to a friend who I know since middle school and we were remembering and laughing about the time when I had a crush on this boy and he had a crush on me. One day some of the kids in our class went to eat to a burger joint. To my surprise, the boy I liked pulled out an onion ring and said in a serious voice:  Would you like to marry me?  His friend who was sitting next to him stared at him like he was crazy. I froze for a little while not knowing what to say and my cheeks turned pink, but then we all started to laugh, a nervous laugh.  Oh boy, I knew everyone was probably going to tease us.  Sixth grade was going to be a long road.
