Hi! My name is Maria, but most people call me M, yeah, just the letter, I'm 17 years old, I have a boyfriend, he is 18, and I live with him since I ran away from the orphanage... Yeah! Quick story short, my parents died when I was 14, me and my brother, were sent to an orphanage, then, when I was 16 my brother died...
Anyways, two weeks later, I ran away from the orphanage, I stayed at a hotel (that I couldn't pay for) but I used to sneak in there, Henry found me and invited me to stay at his place, which I thought it was the best option, turns out that he is not THE best person.
I think that's all you need to know to read my story.
My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink.
Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't.
Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what.
Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?
