4th grade.

Big step up from 3rd grade. Only 7 more years till I could drive, only 9 more years till I graduate high school, and then go to college.

I'm going to go to school on a soccer scholarship and then play professionally. And 17 more years till I marry the love of my life. My next door neighbor and my best friend.

Everyone knew and talked about us getting married one day. We were always together.

Right now she's sitting next to me in class while doodling in her notebook. She has a piece of gum in her mouth even though it's strictly forbidden to chew gum in school. Our school is pretty strict but she never really cared. She just gave off her perfect smile and usually got away with it.

I really liked her.
