Theodore is my next-door neighbor and my brother in spirit. We've known each other for 16 years, growing up side by side in our close-knit neighborhood. For the past 8 years, since I was 12, I've had a crush on him—he's my first love. An athlete with a magnetic personality, Theodore is popular among our peers, and his charm only deepens my feelings. Our friendship has been a constant in my life, filled with shared memories and unspoken emotions, making it all the more complicated as I navigate my feelings for him. My real brother name Sam. He is Sam best friend.
