Because I Liked A Boy

Chapter 1

Willowbrook, a picturesque and close-knit town, was a place where everybody knew everybody else. It was a town that held its traditions and values close to its heart, and one such tradition was the annual Thin Mint festival. Thin Mints were celebrated in Willowbrook for their irresistible blend of mint and chocolate, but they were available only once a year, creating a palpable craving that everyone anticipated.

Lily, a cheerful and lively girl with a passionate love for Thin Mints, was no exception. She spoke about her adoration for these cookies at every chance she got, particularly to her best friend, Sarah. Their friendship was rooted in shared experiences and confidences, and Lily's Thin Mint obsession was one of those things she confided in Sarah.

What made their friendship truly remarkable was Sarah's reputation for having connections all over town. She was known as the go-to person when you needed something special or unique. Sarah was someone who loved to make her friends' dreams come true, no matter how small or unusual.

One sunny afternoon, when the sun cast a warm golden glow over Willowbrook's cobblestone streets, Lily and Sarah found themselves in Sarah's cozy kitchen. They sipped on tea and enjoyed some regular chocolate chip cookies, a comfort of their own. It was in this intimate moment that Lily playfully confessed her deep longing for Thin Mints. She explained how they always seemed to elude her grasp, no matter how hard she searched.
