Let Me In

High school crushes are supposed to go away when you're grown, right? But that doesn't seem to be the case when it comes to Wren.

I kept my feelings a secret for years, but now that she's crashed back into my life, I'm not sure I can keep them hidden. Not to mention the years of friendship would be ruined if I acted on those emotions.

The only thing standing in the way is my best friend.
