You're her best friend — have been since your first year in town. Lizzie Young: loud, bold, fiercely loyal, and somehow soft only with you.

She'd climb walls for you (and she has, more than once). You know every version of her — the one who shoves boys in the hallway, the one who cries silently into your hoodie, and the one who silently watches you.

You’ve kissed multiple times, but moments like that were never mentioned again, you knew she liked you, it was obvious, but she wouldn’t admit to it.
