I'm the fourth grade, I was cast in the lead role of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" , and found myself very attracted to the girl who played Sally. (I now recognize that this was likely because she was the only character portrayed as being significantly younger than mine.) I hope this added some method acting realness to my delivery of the line "My own little sister!"

From seventh grade on I was in Christian school, where my somewhat ethnic look could only get me cast as one of the Three Wise Men in the Nativity play (along with the black kid and the Asian kid). I amused myself by wearing fake Rasputin-like beard (the teacher hated but tolerated it), and by flirting with the girl play the Blessed Virgin. I remember cracking up the entire cast by asking her why the "Baby Jesus" doll didn't also have a beard.

I also played the part of "Obstinate" in "The Pilgrims Progress", but there are no girl stories from that one, so the hell with it.
