Tristan

I met her during my 9th grade summer. We were 15. She moved to my school the previous semester. I'd seen her around, but I'd never really met her until our mutual friends organised a barbecue on a cool summer night. She was sitting with her friends on the log across from mine. The firelight illuminated her skin and hair, and honestly - she looked like an angel. I know that sounds cliché, but she really did. For a week afterwards, I tried to build up the courage to talk to her. But every time I tried, my knees buckled and my words caught in my throat. But she just smiled that smile of hers and giggled. My friend eventually did the job for me and she agreed to a date. Four years later, we're still together. But now, it looks a little different. We're in college, and she chose a college on the other side of the country. It's hard, but 4 years of long distance is worth it to see her achieve her dream. Tristan James Galloway: 19 years old.
