When did you notice the biggest glow up of a person that you were amusingly shocked?

Saw my quietest classmate in high school post-college suddenly a total boss energy Couldn't stop staring

i have a good one. there was this girl in middle school. we only had a foreign language class together but we were in the same group of 4 all semester. she told her friend that she liked me, and her very bad friend told the group in class. me being a dumb 12 year old and embarrassed just said ''ewwww never''... after this, obviously allready being insecure and shy- she did not take the situation any good and i didnt see her anymore. i heard that her parents put her in a christian private school. later on in life i saw her on national TV getting qualified for Miss universe...
