Hey, Y’all, and welcome back to Teen Scene in ENID MONTHLY. For the month of February, I wanted to write about my very first Valentine’s Day with a special person. Let’s talk about it!!!!
For the past few years, my dad has always told me to write about boys in my article, especially for February. I would always respond with, “Ew, no!! That’s so cringy, Dad!” But this year I am so excited to write about my boyfriend. You may or may not know him as he’s an impressive basketball player at Enid High, but I know him as one of the kindest, smartest, most loving people I have ever met. Not to sound cringy or whatever, but I have never been happier, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. Let me give you a little backstory.
It all started in my sophomore year AP Language & Composition class. I became really good friends with one of the boys in there who was on the basketball team. One day, I saw him walking with this other boy, and I was starstruck!! He was one of the most attractive boys I have ever seen. The next day in class I told my friend that I thought he was so hot. He later texted him in our class (basically ratting me out!). From then on, we both had secret little crushes on each other. We never really talked during school; maybe said 200 words to each other, but that’s it. Fast forward to graduation, I saw him and asked if we could take a picture, and of course he said yes. After that, nothing happened until one day after my Cross-Country practice in September. Me and my besties were helping our team set up for the Great Land Run. I volunteered to drive us all through the dirt roads that the half marathon course consisted of to put out signs for the runners. My car was freshly washed, so I was upset when I saw the dirt all over it. After we were done, I asked the girls if they wanted to come with me to get a car wash, so we packed up and drove over to the one closest to my house. As I’m pulling up, I see a familiar face – it was Branden!! I was so excited. I was going to the pay area and obviously said hi to him (extra flirty of course), and he gave me a free wash!! I texted him later that day saying thank you and everything. We started texting more and more every day, and we eventually went shopping, hung out, etc. Fast forward to February, we have been together for 4 months, and hopefully many more are to come.
I am so excited to celebrate this special holiday with him and can’t wait for the special memories of our first Valentine’s Day together. I have no clue what he has planned for us to do, but I know it’s going to be perfect!! He has no clue I am writing this (it’s a surprise) for everyone to see, so I am incredibly grateful for you reading this to be a part of a memory that will be forever. I love you lots B, and thank you for making me feel like a princess every day. -XOXO Sophia.
