How Tarkus Changed My Life

Decent Essays
When I was younger, I always saw in the movies best friends falling in love with each other. I would've never thought it would of happened to me. Tarkus and I have been close since the seventh grade. Funny enough, I never thought he was cute until about a year ago.
In the seventh and eighth grade I was in a “serious” relationship, well as serious as a seventh grade relationship can be.

This virus formed terrible emotional migraines from the many thoughts of his unfaithfulness. The virus caused my stomach to turn, and I often felt like throwing up because of the innumerable number of lies that I was being fed.…
