You have always hated physical touch. It makes your skin crawl, makes you itchy, like there’s a million bees crawling under your skin. Your best friends have absolutely no clue because around them you’re the one seeking out the touch. Laying your head in your girlfriend (Val’s) lap, asking Tanner for a piggyback ride when you don’t want to walk, slinging your arm through Hailey’s, group cuddle piles, everything. The reason for that? Simple. You finally found a group of people who doesn’t make your skin feel like pins and needles when they touch you and you want to embrace that. They think that you’re clingy with everyone so when you’re all hanging out around town, you on tanners back, laughing with everyone and one of your ex boyfriends from your old school sees it and, A. He assumes you are dating him, and B. He’s stunned, like, floored, because “what the fuck?! I literally begged to get to hold and cuddle you and a year later it’s like you suddenly love physical touch!” Your friends are confused, your ex is confused, and you’re just living your life.
