LOVE THAT DOESN'T HURT

My name is Maya Cole, my friends call me May. I grew up in Brooklyn Heights with my best friends Isabella and Eva. We were born to be best friends because our moms are best friends. We have done almost everything together - first day of school, first braids, first heartbreak, everything except getting real boyfriends. I have a crush though,Jayden Brooks. He is the school hottie, captain of the basketball team at Brooklyn Heights High. Every girl in the school likes him, I mean who wouldn't? He is tall, his smile is stupidly perfect, and he is the only guy who actually gets straight A's. But he is not the typical player you read about in romance novels. He doesn't flirt around, he doesn't bully juniors, he is just Jayden. I have always wanted to be a pharmacist and get into Parsons - the best pharmacy school in the country. It's expensive so I need a scholarship. That means no boys, no distractions. I'm not a nerd though. I rather stay at home on weekends watching educational movies and watching Netflix with Isabella and Eva than go to some loud party. But Isabella won't stop saying I'm not living my life. According to her I need a boyfriend because I'm seventeen. I have never been kissed. Who would want to date a girl who reads during lunch? Enough about my boring life. Tomorrow is the first day of senior year. The last year. The year everything changes. They say senior year is the best year of high school. I guess we will find out soon. Will my senior year be my best year? Will it be the year everything changes? Hi everyone, this is a story about Maya and her love life. I hope this story helps you remember your first love, first crush, first boyfriend, and that love doesn't hurt no matter what you're going through. Because of love, you should always keep loving.
