Our Biggest Adventure Begins

13 years ago.. the start of 7th grade, the first day as a Middle schooler, Alyssa took her seat on the bus with her friend and giggled with excitement for the year ahead. As the bus slowed to a stop again and the doors swung open, they watched their new schoolmates board the bus. Oscar walked in with his friend and sat down in the first available row. Laughing and talking, both extremely excited for what was to come, Oscar looked back behind him for a split second. Alyssa looked up from her whispers with her friend and locked eyes for a second with the boy across from her. They both looked away and continued their wisperes to their friends. Oh if they only new what story awaited them..

Name calling, joke telling, throwing things back and forth.. worst enemies every morning and afternoon on the bus. But what Alyssa and Oscar didn’t realize was that they were slowly creating a friendship. A friendship that was fun, easy going, and true. They became bestfriends. And neither of them could admit that they were actually keeping one particular secret from the other, one that would change everything. Was it worth losing the friendship they had if the secret came to light?

Oscar and Alyssa would nervously hold hands through the school. Such a big step to hold hands but so exciting as well. They dated through the summer and off and on through highschool. Always wondering what the other was doing or thinking when they weren’t together. Growing up each in their own way but always thinking back on to what could be. Oscar made the move. Asking her bestfriend for her number. College brought new challenges but it also brought new dreams. He needed to see what would’ve been. Alyssa accepted. With each day they got to know eachother again, their friendship blossomed like it did all those years ago. They laughed again, they talked again, and they stayed true. But something new blossomed as well. A love so strong, enraveled in all their experiences together and apart. Holding hands was exciting once again because it radiated love like no other. They both knew the other was IT. All these years its always been you. And now.. the biggest adventure begins.
