Goodbye, My Sweetheart
After our SATs, my childhood sweetheart coaxed me into giving him my virginity. In just one night, he went through half a box of protection. I thought it was physical attraction and that he was madly in love with me. Until one day, by accident, I saw the group chat between him and his friends.
[Congratulations to my boy for scoring his first win.]
[Rue can barely walk. Weren’t you a bit too rough?]
[Too rough? She’s tough. She can take it. I’m just getting some practice in, so I’ll know how to treat the school’s prettiest girl right in the future. If I mess her up, I’d actually feel bad.]
So all those years of being childhood sweethearts were nothing but a joke.
I changed my university application. From that moment on, he went south, and I went north. Our paths never crossed again.
