Eighteen. Off to college. in a couple of days, but about a month ago, I get a call.
This call was from someone who I was really close with throughout most of HS (we'd share stories, politics... We were very close friends. I had a huge crush on her, but never really made it clear). She was valedictorian in my year and everything, but she'd been in college for a couple of weeks by the time she called me.
I answer the phone and she tells me "[anon], I had sex yesterday" and my heart immediately sank. As she told me her story, I listened, but the moment she finishes, I start tearing up and tell her, "...I really, really like you." and everything clicked for her. She realized how much she had meant to me, and how much joy she'd brought me the past couple of years, and I could immediately tell she felt like crap. She started apologizing, I told her it wasn't anything to worry about, how it wasn't her fault (and she couldn't have known. I never really "made a move," so to speak). But things got awkward on the phone.
