My name is Peter, i’m 18 now and i’ve done alot in the past 8 months, most of which is in the story to follow. Enjoy.

I had a less than average life for a 17 year old. But I had little to complain about. I just finished school, I tried joining the Defence Force, which was calling for as many people as they could get. But I was knocked back. So I had two years to kill before I could try again. I thought it was going to be an uneventful two years. I was trying to find a girlfriend as well. 17 years and no, I have never had one. I’ve seen a couple of girls before, but it never turned into anything worth keeping. So they pretty much ended on the first date basically.
But most of my friends were female, so they’d help me through it. But it wasn’t really anything I needed help with. A date goes wrong, the girl doesn’t want to see me anymore, fine. I was ok with that.

Two weeks after the HSC exams, yr12 for 2010 was finished! Over! And Cassie, who I had been close to since yr8, was excited and happy. As much as me and everyone else.
Cassie was older than me, as was everyone else. Tall, about 6′ which rivaled my 6′ 1″, thin, cute, long brown hair, brown eyes, an always smiling face. She was perfect to me. But we were only ever friends, we never took it up a notch. I myself am, as i said, tall, brown eyes covered with glasses, shortish hair (I have let grow out into a curly ball sometimes), and i was relatively skinny except the bit of gut that refused to go away.

Throughout the senior years we had little time together, mostly because we only shared one class, and because she was on the debating team, I was not, as good as I may be. Our only class together was Modern History. I was a lot better at the subject than most, so I was always explaining events and comparing them to something the class knew, mostly a movie or a game. Cassie was good at detailing events with the facts she had, and that was one thing more I liked about her. Life with her was great.

Come 3 weeks later, results are out. We decide to hang out just one on one. We went out to a fairly popular place just an hour south.
