Thinking about when I was little and my brother, one of my oldest friends and I would play pirates - pirates of the Caribbean (the black pearl) to be specific. we had bunk beds and we would jump off of them into the ‘sea’, making each other walk the plank.

I would want to be Elizabeth but I was always ‘the cook’, which is such bullshit cos there was no cook in the films. I couldn’t be Elizabeth though cos they both fancied her. That being said that particular old friend (who was the son of one of my mums friends) became my first ‘boyfriend’ when we got older. He asked me to be his girlfriend on my baby brothers megasketcher and ran away before I could answer. Was very sweet.

I would write notes in my diary for him to read after school, and he would very slyly take my diary without my big brother noticing and run off to read it. Then we would sit by the windows in my living room and stare at the night skyline, talking about deep stuff, like Harry Potter and homework. What we wanted to be when we grew up, and the contents of my diary etc. No kissing or anything like that - we were kids. Just talking.

I wanted to hide our ‘relationship’ from everyone, just cos it was our thing, and boys had germs, of course. Also, my mum and big brother wouldn’t have been cool. He kept trying to tell everyone in the playground, so it ended. We went back to being friends. I still see him around and we’re still friends, just not as close as we once were.

That’s my bedtime story 🫂 goodnight
