Trent and I met in high school. The sexual tension back then was pretty low considering I was an obese drama queen and he was a fro’ed class clown with a thong obsession. Regardless we began as acquaintances and soon became steady, if somewhat distant friends. He dated a few of my friends, I dated a few of his, and yet there was always something between us. I thought he was funny, talented and wonderful, he thought I was sweet, silly and pretty, but it never seemed to be enough.
By chance, or perhaps by some devious plan 3 years in the making ……we ended up going to the same college. Soon we became best friends, I helped with his up and coming band, bought him concert tickets for Christmas and found myself secretly wishing the hours we spent in his car listening to music were spent passionately kissing and proclaiming our love, to music of course. The stereo in his car always had this magical way of shuffling to music that fit the mood eerily well. Sigh, I guess you could say it was destiny!
