Hi, I'm (18M) a senior in high school and will be graduating in 5 months. When I was in kindergarten, I got sat next to this girl, who I will call K. Her family had just moved to the US from South Korea and her English was rough. However, I still understood her and we got along very well. She became my best friend within days.
She was my first real friend. By real I mean I had "friends" through my parents' friends' kids but those were forced friendships where I only saw them on playdates. I was happy to go to school everyday because of K. This did not change once throughout elementary school. In 6th grade, which for us was our last year in elementary school, our relationship changed.
Over the course of that year we went from platonic friends to bf and gf. At that age, of course nothing serious was in the playing cards, but we liked each other differently than before.
Middle school is when we made it more clear to our families what we were to each other, and surprisingly her family was very accepting of it. Her parents were moderately strict traditional Koreans but they had known me for many years and liked me a lot. My Americans parents of course adored her.
I can't speak for her, but for me, 8th grade is when I started developing much deeper feelings for her, and I fell in love. She told me shortly after that she loved me too.
We were with each other every day in high school. Inside and outside school, we did absolutely everything together. Ate, studied, relaxed, watched movies and shows, traveled, vacationed, partied, went to games, concerts, and even slept at each others houses half the nights. We were literal family. 3 months ago she was voted as our homecoming queen and we had our best homecoming yet, also our last of course.
K was the most beautiful person I've ever met and ever will meet. It was impossible to dislike her. She was incredibly understanding and nonjudgmental. I can't recall a single time she said something negative about someone who didn't truly deserve it. She was a responsible student, respectful daughter, agile tennis player, gifted piano player and a mood lifter for everyone. My god was she charming. Every single time I looked at her stunning eyes my heart palpitated.
We were one. We needed each other. We grew up and became people alongside each other. I can't remember my life before I met her. We were deeply in love and had our future planned out. 2 months ago while traveling home from a bigger city nearby where we had di

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Since Cams been confirmed to be starring in Homecoming and has even got bumped up to show regular, will Homecoming show some college games between his and Spencer’s schools?
We all know Homecoming and the main series are inter-connected to each other, and because I’m 99% sure Cam is the only character in Homecoming that will still be playing football in college (Damon is for baseball, Simone obviously for Tennis, etc etc), and because characters from the main show might still pop up from time to time (Jordan at least shows up 2x in the trailer alone), they’d need to show some characters that play football in order to get Cams character to do much in the spin-off. Which would leave them to have Spencer and Cam face off sometime in Homecoming.
What does everyone think?
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
