This story probably really starts back when I was 13, but really picks up a few years ago when I was 18, skip to the break if you don’t want the backstory. I grew up in a very Christian home where sex and anything around that is supposed to be great, but saved for marriage. So that was how I went through high school, dating a few girls but never going passed 2nd base because I didn’t want to ruin my future relationships.
Now I had a friend named Anabel, who everyone called Anna, that started attending my church a when I was in Grade 8. We both graduated from different elementary schools and but lived in the same area so we went to the same high school. Because we were already friends from our church, we brought our two friend groups together and that combination became my main friend group through high school. Throughout those years, I never thought of Ana romantically, even though I knew she had a crush on me at one point. She was pretty cute, but just not a good personality fit, plus she was one of my closer friends and I didn’t want to mess that up. So we both graduate and begin university at two university’s in the area and I still see her often enough at friends parties and church events.
