Let's get married

I was so upset when my third-grade teacher sat me next to a boy (ew, gross!). But he turned out to be hilarious and sweet, and we became friends. Afterschool, summer camp, the bus — we spent all our time together, and before long we were best friends. Teachers told me to keep him close because he’s “one of the good ones.” I didn’t understand then, but I do now. So, after 10 years in the friend zone, I finally let him out. We’ve loved each other through every phase of life, and now it’s time for the next chapter. Let’s get married!
