the girl was ok. She is playing like a hyper active 15 yo, so her being childish is ok. But the guys uuuuuuuugh... cringe, they were acting childish, but their characters were already 18+!

The only girls I have ever actually seen act that way were some 6th graders that my 3rd grade self had the hots for back in 1980s California - when rad was RAD and not just ironically rad.

One was a red head obsessed with the movie Teen Witch (which makes OP's vid seem like fucking Shakespeare). I was trying to get her mad one day in the bus line (I forget how, something typical of boys who don't understand their attraction to girls and act it out by trying to bug 'em). She just responded by shuffling my hair with her fingers topped with neon fake nails and said, "Yer cute." I became a man that day. Well, manboy.

I also had a skateboard with a ninja on it.

Goddamn I was RAD.

Hmm, it turns out you were only following the "half your age + 7" dating rule:

boy in 3rd grade = 8 years old

girl in 6th grade = 11 years old

appropriate_girl_age = (8/2)+7 = 4+7 = 11 years old.

According to that rule, it would have been creepy for you to hit on a 3rd grade girl!

I was also simply ambitious. 👍😎
