#sixteenth summer

[but-wait-what-if]

Mostly, being Will's girlfriend made me feel the same way I did after acing a test in school: a little light-headed, a little proud, and somehow utterly relaxed while also buzzing with excitement.

Sometimes I wanted to dance and laugh with my friends until midnight, and sometimes I wanted to screen all calls and hide away with a tragic novel and a bag of candy. Sometimes I spend an hour trying to pretty myself up, and sometimes I could barely be bothered to comb the knots out of my hair before I left the house. Sometimes I wanted to know what it felt like to tell a boy all my secrets. Other times, that seemed as impossible as waking up one morning to find myself fluent in a foreign language. Sometimes I felt better alone that I did with people. And sometimes that just felt lonely.

A perfect person is easy to love. But when somebody likes all your imperfections, well, that's when you know they really mean it.
