Jamica Macklin

Some people you never forget. I don't know if I remember her full name because it's so unique or because I heard she had a crush on me back in elementary school. She's one person I remember more vividly than most though I'd say there was never really a lasting relationship or connection between us.

I remember my best friend at the time had a crush on her while I was crushing on a girl named Tiana Shannon (a name for another day). The twist came about when someone mentioned that Jamica had a crush on me. My "best friend" didn't like me much after that.

I remember one of the things my best friend said he liked most about her was that she wore her hair in a different style every single day.

I remember how awkward she seemed whenever I spoke to her. Of course I was too oblivious to acknowledge that she probably was awkward because she had a crush on me.

I remember learning that she lived right next door to my cousin's grandpa's house. I think I spotted her over there once or twice but most of that memory involved my cousin mentioning that he saw her all the time.

I remember in high school, long after she and I had gone to separate schools, I was taking the bus home from school. I remember looking out the window and seeing a brown skinned girl with long braids. I remember thinking to myself that she looked familiar, and then a name popped in my head. Jamica? I remember thinking about getting off the bus to find out. I remember never actually getting off the bus.. and thus never ever reconnecting with her. And she's not on facebook. So where is she?

I googled her name and found a 28 year old Jamica Macklin in Pontiac, Michigan. We went to school in Detroit, so I bet that's her. But that's all I got. Pretty cool to know she's probably still alive. Hope she's doing well.
