I sit on my bed with my buddy April. It’s officially our last semester of our senior year in high school, and even though we’d love to do nothing for the next few months, our teachers aren’t having it. There’s a history exam on Friday that we’re not prepared for, which is why we’re hitting the books.

But of course, nothing’s getting done and instead April and I are gabbing. I have a lot to tell her because I’ve been so busy with Carl the last few months that I haven’t seen my bestie much, short of a few rushed conversations at school.

“I’ve missed you!” she whines, tucking a curl behind one ear. “What gives?”

“I know,” I say in a repentant tone. “I’m sorry I’ve been a bad friend lately.”

April shakes her head. “No, it’s fine. You’re clearly happy with Carl, and I want that for you. I’ve never seen you so happy, Colleen. Besides, I need to live vicariously through you. Ugh, the boys in high school are so awful, so you’re lucky to be with an older man.”

I roll my eyes.

“Okay, what happened this time?”

April frowns.

“Well, Joey Sliss, you know the one who often has the cowlick, took me out last week. But guess where he took me?”

I think for a moment.

“Sunday Scoops? The diner over on Fifth Street? Why, where?”

April squeals.

“I wish he took me to Sunday Scoops! No, he took me to meet his grandma!”

I stare at her.

“But wasn’t this your first date?”

April squeals with outrage again.

“Yes, exactly! Who takes a woman to meet their grandma on their first date? But evidently, his grandma has a touch of dementia and she’s been telling Joey to find someone. So he figured he could bring me to her nursing home, show me off a bit, and that would settle the matter.”

I shake my head.

“OMG, I’m so sorry, girlfriend. But it was just an in and out, right?”

She nods.

“Yeah, it was only twenty minutes because his grandma can’t remember much. She’s a sweet old lady too. But still, I’m never forgiving Joey for this.”

I giggle a bit.

“Well, did he make it up to you?”

April nods smartly.

“Yeah, he bought me a necklace as a thank you gift, so I guess that makes it a little better, but still! OMG, you’re so lucky not to deal with high school guys.”

I can’t help but smile because my time with Carl has been amazing. It sucks that our relationship still has to be a secret, but in just a few months, we’ll be free to come clean. After all, my plan is to graduate from high school, move in with Carl, and then pursue my dreams. Once I’m out of the house, Judy and Bill can’t say anything. At least, I don’t think they can.

“Thanks. Carl is pretty great, but never fear: we’re going to find you the perfect guy, too.”

April rolls her eyes. “I don’t know about that. I think I’m destined to be an old maid. I’m going to shrivel up and die alone, with my carcass eaten by wild dogs.
