BOYFRIEND BEFORE 18: Beyond wishes, True love exist
Not even myself.
“Morning,” Liv texted, “bus sucks. Pick you up tomorrow.”
“Tell me about it,” I texted back.
“You okay,” she texted.
“I will be,” I texted, slipping my phone away.
Liv is my best friend, and she has been since fourth grade when I shared my pudding cup. She is honest, loud, and does not let me get away with anything. She plays soccer, owns too many hoodies, and tells me when my ideas are bad. She knows about the whiteboard because she gave it to me, half as a joke, half as a dare. She said, “You think too much, Chen. Just do something.” So I wrote it down.
