I'm Mallory Koepke, I've never had a boyfriend or my first kiss, and I'm 18. I'm a nerd- excuse me, intellectual bad ass, and I spend most of my time online or playing video games. I watch a ton of anime, read a ton of manga, and I rarely get outside. Until recently, since I have a boyfriend. Since I haven't made much of an introduction yet, my boyfriend is obsessed with death. And I love it. He drives a hearse, wears black all the time.. But isn't emo.

It finally happened. I have to tell Sasha.

On the car ride home, we were blasting Hadouken! And singing it together. I couldn't stop smiling, and he couldn't either. Once we got to my house, we got out at the same time. He walked me up to my door, and turned towards me and smiled.

"Let's do something tomorrow." He said, I could hear the happiness in his tone.

"Like what? I don't have any ideas.." I said with a laugh.

"We could go to the zoo, it's free tomorrow for seniors." He shrugged.

"I would love that! Pick me up at 12:00 tomorrow?"

"You got it. See you then!" He embraced me in a hug, and walked back to his car. Before he got in, he smiled and waved.

Wow, I really, really have to tell Sasha about this. I walked inside and started squealing like a fan girl. I immediately called Sasha, probably waking her up, but I don't care. I had to tell someone.

"H-hello…?" She answered. Yup, I woke her up.

"SASHA! I HAVE NEWS. BIG FREAKING NEWS."

"WHAT. WHAT IS IT."

"I have a boyfriend!"

"WHAT?"

"IT'S ELI!"

"Ohhhh myyy Godddd. You are going to make me scream. Are you serious?"

"YES!"

"AGHHHHHHHH! You guys are so cute together! I knew you'd end up like this!" She sounded as happy as I did.

"I'm coming over, Mallory. Like right now, and you can tell me everything."

"Alright!"

I sat around on the couch for a few minutes, and here comes Sasha, barging into my house. "TELL ME EVERYTHING."

We ran upstairs to my room, she flew onto my bed and I sat in my computer chair.

"Okay, so first, he came to my house at 7AM. And then he was all 'Let's go out for breakfast.' And I reluctantly went. We went to Tim Horton's. And he got me donuts and coffee, and I burnt my tongue, as always. And he was all 'That's so cute. You always do that.' and I glared at him. And then he changed the subject, and was all 'I like you. No, more than that. I'm in love with you.' And then I told him the same thing. AND NOW WE'RE GOING OUT!" I barely could stay in my seat I was so happy. I've been crushing on him for like, 4 years.

"Oh. My. God." She replied.

"What?" I tilted my head.

"THAT'S ADORABLE."

We started laughing. Of course, she would say that. She says that about everyone. My phone started vibrating.

"I bet that's Eli." She said to me, smiling.

"Yup." I read the text. 'So what's up?' I texted back 'Hanging out with Sasha.. I told her and she's as happy as I am.'

He replied '(:'

"You're in love with him, Mallory. I mean, it's been 4 years since you started liking him, and I could see he's liked you since then, too. And I know how we always say 'You've been going out for two days, you don't love him.' You guys have kinda acted like you've been going out for 4 years. You loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee him."

I smiled and started blushing. "I know." I giggled, which I never do.

"Oh! I'm going to the zoo with him tomorrow at noon." Her jaw dropped.

"A date already! Ffff, you guys are too cute. I should come and follow you around."

"Nooo. You'll ruin it. We'll hear you squealing a mile away."

"Yeah.. You're right.. Bahhahaha. Call me when you get back though, you've gotta tell me everything. Again. Hahaha."

"Suuree thingg."

"I better get back to my house, my parents don't know I'm gone."

"Alright! Byeee!"

"Good luck tomorrow!" She smiled, "Bye!" She left my room and I flung onto my bed with a heavy sigh.

Woow.
