Elizabeth was 15 and Will was 16, the two had been life long friends. Both were sophomores at Valley View Public High School. One hot spring day the two met at Doug's Pharmacy.
William Turner had come to get a gallon of milk for Mrs. Brown, his adopted mother. He drove the Brown's old red Chevy. Truth be told, the truck was at least double his age. Elizabeth came to get, well, to get a certain thing. Dressed as a boy in thick, baggy clothes she had some faces made at her as she boarded the metro.
'Oh great why does this always happen to ME! Why couldn't I have been born a boy?' Elizabeth tried to search for the reason as she rode the metro two miles to the store.
Will took his time to get the milk. As he looked up and down the aisles he saw something weird. 'Why on earth would a teenage boy read a Vogue magazine? And in winter clothes!' William pondered as he searched for the Smith Milk label. Eventually he went to check out.
Elizabeth hurried to the check out line and she looked at what she was about to buy, nail polish, two magazines, and tampons. She prayed she wouldn't see someone she recognized.
Now as anyone can guess, both Liz and Will were hurrying to the one check out. While they were staring at the floor in front of them they crashed into one another. Will immediately apologized and Elizabeth nodded not wanting her voice to ruin her cover. Will saw that the boy had dropped something and went to grab it.
Using her best male voice Elizabeth said, "No! I'll get it."
"No it's not a problem." Will grabbed the box of tampons and slightly turned pink after realizing what it was.
"My girlfriend." Elizabeth quickly lied.
"Ahh, I see."
"Yeah"
"So, what grade are you in? I noticed you go to the same school as me."
"10th." Elizabeth soon realized her mistake
"Really I don't remember seeing you around school. Then again it may be I usually see you dressed as a girl, Elizabeth." Will took off Elizabeth's hat and her hair came unpinned causing it to fall around her neck.
"Will! How could you tell and please don't tell anyone. Please!" Will laughed at the face Elizabeth was making him.
"I promise I wont tell anyone about that…" He said pointing to her stuff "… if you'll go to prom with me." Elizabeth smiled.
"Deal!" and she kissed him.
