This girl I met online when I was like 14. We were in the same forums and kinda developed crushes on each other. Eventually we both realized we’d probably never meet IRL, and we both had more feasible options in town. We opted instead to help each other land the ones we wanted. Which, in the end, wound up being just a case of picking each other’s brains about how teenage boys and girls are.

I think she wound up dating her local crush for a bit. Mine turned out to be gay.
