They've been teasing us since we were six.
"Lara and Marcus, church love team!"
We were chubby, cute, and always together - but we were never close. In fact, he avoided me. And I resented him for a lot of things: for getting the drums when I wasn't allowed to, for never speaking up, and for acting like he didn't care.
But they didn't see what I saw.
Or maybe... I didn't see what they did.
Because while I was too busy rolling my eyes at the teasing, my friends said he was quietly looking at me - in the way no one ever really looks at someone they don't care about.
This is the story of how two kids grew up side by side in the same church, in the same worship team, under the same teasing voices...
And how what started as nothing became something I never expected.
