“五年级我就暗恋他了，但当时我心想：‘我们会保持朋友关系很长时间吧’，因为通常我不是那种喜欢早恋的人。但我又想：‘不如试一试吧！’ 我开始跟他打情骂俏，说些‘你看起来好赞’，或者‘我喜欢你的发型’之类的话。后来我们上了不同的高中，开始频繁发信息，每隔一段时间我就发个心啊吻啊什么的，他要穿正装也会发张照片给我看下。反正一切进展顺利。有天我预约了矫正牙齿，在他学校附近，我们就说好在星巴克见面。他妈妈开车把他放下，我们就沿着河散步。后来坐在长椅上，看见他掷硬币，我还以为他很无聊呢，但就在那之后，他吻了我。”

“I’d been harboring a crush on him since 5th grade. But I thought: ‘I’m gonna be in the friend zone for a long time.’ Because I’m normally not the kind of person who’s liked in that way. But I thought, ‘Go for it.’ So I started flirting. I’d say things like, ‘You look nice.’ Or ‘I like your hair.’ Then we started going to different high schools, so we started texting a lot. And every once in a while I’d use a heart emoji. Or a kiss emoji. And if he ever had to dress in a suit, he’d send me a picture. So things were going well. Then one day I had an orthodontist appointment near his school and we decided to meet at Starbucks. After his mom dropped him off, we went on a walk by the stream. Then we sat on a bench. And I saw him flip a coin. So I thought he was bored. But right after, he gave me a kiss.”
