Alright, I`m going to tell you this now: this will be a little long, bear with me.
Okay, I am an eighth grader in a public junior high school in Washington State. I have a story that takes place several years back, and last year. Here goes nothing. . . .
In the fourth grade (yeah, don`t laugh) I was helping a friend out in the "multi - purpose room", which is just a big room leading to six or seven classrooms, when my friend goes back to get her colored pencils. No big deal, but then a boy from the next room, a sixth grade classroom, comes out and sits next to me. He has a very noticable scar on his face, sorta neext to and below his left eye. I will admit, I though he was really creepy then, and I just ignore him and color my own map, waiting until my friend comes back. He starts talking to me. My friend didn`t come back yet, so I guess I had no choice. I learn his name (which I wont say now) and I tell him mine. I ask him a few questions, like why he`s out here, and he tells me he got into a fight with the teacher (not a fist fight).
My friend comes and tells me that I have to come inside, so I say good - bye to him and he waves to me.
Skip forward to last year.
I have third period P.E., and I have it with my older sister (who is in ninth grade in this story) and so, obviously, we have the same lunch. It`s a lot of different ninth. seventh and eighth graders. I know about three people. My sister, and my two best friends who are sitting with their friends.
Suddenly, a random guy walks up to me and says 'Hey, Emily.' which is really freaky at the time, `cause that my name. I assume the guy is a ninth grader, cause he`s too tall and has a little stubble. I say hi and he sits down. I don`t talk much, he asks for my schedule, commenting on the teachers he had. He gives me my schedule back and he faces me, so I can see his entire face, and I see the scar, a little above his left eye as well as below.
It`s the boy from all those years ago, and I smile. From then on, every Tuesday (the day I have lunch after P.E.) we have lunch together.
On December 1st, he sits down, and when we`re both done our lunch, he asks me to follow him. I follow him to behind the vending machines near the stair case. He asks me what my sister would say if he asked out a girl she knew. (My sister knows him and she apparently likes him, or did) I ask him who she was, and he told me she was shorter than him, blonde, had this lunch. I guesses Megan, a ninth grader who fit the description, and he said no. He continued to describe her, glasses, seventh grader. If you haven`t guessed by now (like me), it`s me. I said I don`t know and then he tells me one last descriptive thing about her. (Direct quote from him here) 'She`s standing right next to me, and he name is Emily.'
I literally freaked out, but just stood there, and said, my sister wouldn`t care if he dated someone she knew (I didn`t want to say 'me' for a reason i don`t know..)
Then the bell rang, thankfully. I didn`t see him until the next week, on Thursday, he asks me again, making me play a 'guess the sentence' game. Five more times over a period of most of the school year, I think he gives up, but still hints about wanting an answer. At lunch in June, me, him and another ninth grader, who is one of my best friends, are hanging out in the grass, and Reagan, the other ninth grader, starts teasing him about something. He, in response, tickles her so to say, and she doesn`t respond to it, and then he turns to me, and says 'you aren`t though' and then he chases me around the grass until we`re both laughing til we can`t run anymore. On the bus (again, and i`m almost over now) he asks me if I would go out with him, and i don`t answer him, so he tickles me.
Alright, I`m done, almost.
Now it`s eighth grade, and he, Reagen, and my sister, are at the high school, I still haven`t answered his six questions. He has my cell phone number, ran away from home over the summer, and has been found, now in juvenile detention. I have told no one about him asking me out, except my best friend, Cheyenne, who told me not to answer him. I have grown to the point of a crush that I am waiting eagerly for him to board the bus, even though I know he isn`t coming, I watch the people at his bus stop, and I stare there until I cant see the road, and I hang on every word his brother says, cause he sounds exactly the same. I think I am in love with him.
I want to know if I should give up, or just wait until I`m a tenth grader, and he`s a twelfth grader?
Oh, I left out one tiny detail. I gave him a red bracelet that looks like this one in February, and he has been wearing it every since, well when I see him it`s on his wrist.
What should I do?

Alot of people would say that if you meat a boy after he faught with his teacher, who asks you out behind vending machines, and who you havent seen since he went to juevy, that he is a bad egg and to stay away from him. I do NOT say that. I have a friend who just spent 3 months in juevy for assulting her mother, but i talked to her about it afterwords when she was out and it was NOT at ALL what her mother had made it out to be. Things happen, some people are agressive and troubled, but they can still fall in love.
If you like this boy, I mean REALLY like him, then I would say contact him. Visit him in the pen sometime, or call him or write a long letter. Because he only ran away he probably wont be in there for long, so you will have to wait until he leaves for you to actually get some allone time with him to talk. But if you think that you are ready to date him and call him your (and be his, none the less) then s**t girl, JUST DO IT! Dont hold back, your crazy for the dude and hes probably been in love with you since the day you two met! Go get him, dont stop till you are happy! And if you want to wait, then wait sweetheart. All of that excitment and love he brings you should still be there when you are ready. Remember, if they really love/like you, they are more than willing to wait.

Here's what I say:
If you really love him (and I'm sure you do, by the way you've typed out so much for him) and he really loves you, then go for it. If it seems like he is a wonderful person (minus the whole juvie thing) and you know with all your heart that he won't hurt you--physically, emotionally, or mentally--then pursue it.
I wish you luck! ^^ May you two be happy together.

Denkou Soshiatae:
My only other concern is the fact that I don`t know how long he`s going to be in juvenile hall because I don`t think he was put in juvy for running away. He also does drugs, i think, and drinking alcohol. Plus the fact that we go to totally different schools and I wont see him until he`s in twelfth grade. . . and I can`t contact him, cause I don`t have his number.
MasterMion:
I do believe I love him, but I don`t know if he feels the same way.
And I thank you for being so supportive of me. To both of you.

 Now that is a odd story. It's very cute. I think he likes you and well I can tell that you like him. I'm not too sure if you should go out to him due to his drug issue. That will take you down a road that you do not want to go down, just trust me. I've been there. e.e" I think it is best that you move on and if you meet up again later in life and he has straightened up then go out with him. But if he is still doing well stupid things, just avoid him. Don't get mixed up in his issues.

Well..it sounds like a romance movie.
So basically don't go for it.
Because romance movies aren't real life, dear.
Besides, in my opinion, you're too young for him.
In 8th grade a good friend of mine, Sarah, fell for a high school guy.
He was in trouble a lot -- did alcohol and drugs and, strangely, ran away from home as well.
He was not a good guy, obviously. =/
Cheated on her. Abused the other girl he was dating.
Wound up in jail after dropping out of school.
I hate to be a mood-killer but..
you barely know the guy.
He sounds a bit like a jerk and a flake.
My over-bearing mother hen senses are flaring.
So yeah.
No go.

Testicular Diabetes:
Again, I don`t know if he does drugs or not. It`s just a rumor I`ve heard about him.
flauterfli:
I know romance movies aren`t for real. But, I also don`t think I`m too young, or he`s too old for me. Three years (or two, I`m not sure) isn`t all that far apart..
But thank you for your opinion.
