BOYFRIEND BEFORE 18: Beyond wishes, True love exist
My locker was next to Sofia Martinez, who had a photo of her and her boyfriend taped inside.
“Are you going to the game Friday,” Sofia asked.
“Yeah,” I said, spinning my lock, “probably.”
“Cool,” she said, fixing her hair, “bring a date, it is more fun.”
“Right,” I said, “fun.”
I grabbed my English book, and my phone buzzed. It was a reminder I set for myself last week. BOYFRIEND BEFORE 18, with a little calendar emoji. I stared at it, then turned my phone off. I did not need the reminder, the whiteboard was enough, the hallway was enough, and the date on my driver’s license was enough. I turn 18 in six months. Six months to figure it out.
