Of course, my mates thought it was hilarious I was into someone I’d met online. And they thought it was even more hilarious when she turned out to be a boy IRL. But the joke’s on them because I still really like him. And now that we’re together, it’s going pretty well.

This is sort of my story. About how I messed up some stuff and figured out some stuff. And fell in love and stuff.
