From Beginning to ...

__My name is Sophie. I am 19 right now and I live in Picardie, France. My story starts in September of 2oo5. I had just entered the lycee and knew no one in my class, except two boys whom i didn't know well. I was separated from my two friends and i felt very sad.

__We were always together except during the class and we talked about the past and a lot of things. But time elapsed and I learnt to know people who were in my class. Therefore I began to create some bonds with some girls, among whom some became my best friends. I also slowly created a special link with a guy. His name was Jérémy. He came from the same college as a lot of my mates. He intrigued me.

__As the time passed, we talked and laughed. One Tuesday evening, a fight happened where we were taking the buses. That boy I liked tried to help his friend but was wounded. Since that evening, I missed him. I just wanted to see him and talk to him.

__Then, on the 18th January, 2oo5, Jérémy, Émilie, Magali & me went to the pictures to see «North by Northwest» («La Mort aux Trousses») in English with French subtitles. When we left, he hugged me. Four days later, I was talking with Émilie & Jérémy on «MSN». The PC was closed to my parents' room, so my mother lost her nerves she couldn't sleep because of me. I left the conversation very quickly and said to them that I loved them. That night, Jérémy & I couldn't stop sending SMS. That night I realized I might be in love with him, and for a couple of months, we sent lots & lots of SMS.

__Since that day, my life has changed. For five months, we were closed and always together but we took a long time before we kissed and said we were lovers. I'll always remember when Claire fell down the stairs after asking again Jérémy if we were together. I would've liked so much seeing that !! Then, slowly, we progressed step by step, and we learnt to be «us».

__In March, I went to England for three days with Agathe. We enjoyed that trip, but I missed Jérémy so much...

__Unfortunately, something happened, a few times before my birthday, in May of 2oo5. I won't explain because it still hurts deep in my heart, and the persons who are concerned know what I mean. We overcame this crisis and keep on our way.

__During summer holidays, Jérémy went to Tunisia with his family, for two weeks if I remember well. We managed to see each other one afternoon at the movies before I went to Corsica with Émilie (whom we nicknamed MZi). This separation was pretty hard but we succeeded overcoming that.

__Then we arrived in «1ère S3» and of course passed more time together : class, lunches with friends, movies, hanging out with friends... But during the weekends, it was more difficult to convince our parents ;p So, we just had to be patient and waited for them to be ready.

__We had an other crisis during a weekend that I passed with my family, some weeks after my Grand-Father's death. It was about a SMS that I misunderstood and so I really lost my nerves and cried all the weekend. Whatever !

__We celebrated the New Year with our friend, in Folembray. What a grat memory... Jérémy offered me a beautiful necklace with seven hearts, and I offered him one for men, of course! In April, we went with our class to Ireland for a week. I've no word to describe how I liked it! We supported a lot of things and were still there for each other till the end of the school year, for our French exam. After that, we went to Normandie with my boyfriend's family. Later, with my family, we went to «Ardèche». Those holidays were wonderful.

__I think the «TS 3» has been our most difficult year. We were keyed up because of our final exam, because of our teachers who brought us pressure. Then we spent the festive season together, Christmas with our families, and after the New Year with our friends again.

__After the holidays happen bad things. We nearly lost a friend and that shocked us. We also were stressed about our exam, about us, about our friend, about our future... The second part of the year we had to wonder what would we do next year, what were our dreams and our possibilities.

__Our training for our exam unfolded almost well. But we had to spend a lot of time studying and we had difficult to be serious. We had a lot of tears but we never dropped each other. We've always been there for each other. This experience was really difficult but we surmounted everything even if it was hard.

__We finally had our «Baccalauréat» at first time and i cried. I've never been so happy. I was so proud of us. We succeed. We did it. Together. My love got his driving licence a few days later and a summer job. His lovely Grandmother received us for some days. Sometimes I woke him up at 3:00 because he began at 4 o'clock. I was happy. We spent almost all time together and I felt just good.
