At 6, I Promised My Best Friend We’d Go to Prom Together — 12 Years Later, Mom Said I Could Go With Him Only on ONE Condition Ethan became my best friend in first grade after we discovered we both hated raisins and loved dinosaurs.

SO WHEN SENIOR PROM CAME AROUND, I ALREADY KNEW WHO I WANTED TO GO WITH

Apparently—

Ethan wasn’t as certain.

One afternoon at Willowcrest High School, he found me beside my locker.

“Sophie.”

“Yes?”

“Do you remember first grade?”

I pretended to think.

“No.”

His face fell.

“Seriously?”

I laughed.
