Chocolates for Valentine's Day

It was the first year of secondary school when I gave someone chocolates for Valentine's Day. I'm pretty sure the first word I ever said to her was, "here." I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything so lengthy as, "these are for you." And then I went directly to the toilet. She, for her part, didn't say anything to me when I gave them to her, nor in the next four years we were in school together.

The only acknowledgement of my act I ever got, was that my friends, who I had not told about this either before or after, made fun of me for years.
