When it came time to meet, he lives kind of far. I was hoping we could meet halfway but, duh no car.

By Joy Lynn Clark January 5, 2022 After meeting my new friends that helped me open up my locker, I also met a boy. He helped me with my locker from time to time and we grew close fast.

We will be in the next tax bracket so we will have to build a new house.” I was like wow, “dad is chief”. Our home was sold quickly and we had to move to a rental.
