Let’s get closer
Submitted by: Zakiya M.
Oakland, CAI'm a 13-year-old who has made her own luck, and has loved every minute of it.
I recently turned thirteen a couple of weeks ago, and I was planning on something special to happen, but nothing did. I just sat at home with my grandma. It was fun, but it wasn’t what I had planned.
There’s this guy I’ve been crushing on for almost four years. We’ve always been casual friends up until last year. I wanted to get closer to him, so that’s what I did. Now, we are really close friends, and it’s awesome, but now I want to get even closer.
I always talk to my cousin about how he’s my boyfriend and how he likes me very much and makes me happy. It seems to be working because I see him more, and he always gives me a hug when I see him. I visualize us at the movies together, eating popcorn, letting our hands touch. It hasn’t happened yet, but I keep believing, and one way or another it will happen.
I hope everyone enjoyed my story and it helps them. I’m a believer.
