Everyone says that when we're young, we all think that boys have germs and that we never want to even touch them. A conversation at lunch reminded me that I must have been a little diva at primary school. That, or the boys just thought of me as one of them (that would explain the no boyfriend aspect.)
At my very first school, if I remember correctly, we used to have daily fights in the playground. Not real fights (I'm guessing) just pretend silly little battles between the girls and boys. However, I distinctly seem to recall that every lunchtime the boys would ask whether I was on 'their side' or the girls would beg me to be with them. It's quite flattering now!
That then went on to my second primary school where I befriended the five boys in our very small class. I was the only girl that they would let play with them in the game of zombie tag which we played every break time and lunch time without fail for three straight years! I did slowly and effectively manage to get the other girls involved though, so by the end of year six everyone was playing. At this school, I was also the only girl on the football team. Everyone else played netball but I just couldn't get my head around not traveling with the ball, what is with that? So I became obsessed with football and started to get quite good at it, I think that was why a lot of the boys respected me and didn't mind getting paired up with me. I dropped football in high school which I quite regret now.
This has seemed to carry on into high school and although I don't spend my breaks playing tag like a little girl anymore, a lot of my best friends are boys. I guess that's my point really. Just because you have all of your girlfriends, boys aren't two faced (well not all of them) and that's what I find really comforting when I tell them my deepest secrets... (jokes, I don't have any deep secrets,) so don't be afraid to befriend a guy.
Love and chilling with the boys, Sophie xoxo
