I'm eighteen and I can count on one hand how many guys I've kissed.

Zero.

Well, that was easy.

It's the summer before I go off to college and it's almost embarrassing how inexperienced I am. I barely know how to talk to a guy aside from my best friend Cody.

I've known Cody since my sophomore year when we ended up in the same French class. He's a year younger than me, but we honestly have a lot in common. We're both super active, goofy, and adventurous. We play the same sports and have the same sense of humor.

The one thing we don't have in common, is that I have a massive crush on Cody. There's no chance of anything happening though because Cody always has a steady stream of girls at his disposal. We're just not in the same social circles.

Although I would probably have been considered one of the invisible members of my class in high school, Cody is pretty popular in his grade. Sometimes I wonder why he's even friends with me, but then I remember how much fun we have hanging out and I know I wouldn't change a thing.

You might wonder why I'm writing about all of this...well, this is the story of how I met the love of my life. I know that sounds super cheesy, but it's true. Everything in this story leads up to the point when I find him. So, sit back and enjoy the ride.
