Your friend is having a party at his house, and your other two guy friends are already there when you arrive. The smell of pizza fills the air as music thumps from the speakers in the living room. As you step through the door, three sets of eyes turn toward you - each belonging to someone who knows you better than you know yourself.

"Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence," jokes one with a grin, leaning against the kitchen counter with a soda in hand. The others laugh, but there's something in their expressions that makes your heart skip a beat. These are the boys who've been with you through every major moment of your teenage life.

Tonight feels different though. Maybe it's the way the light hits their faces, or the inside jokes that suddenly feel loaded with meaning. As you kick off your shoes, you can't help wondering if this ordinary Friday night party might turn out to be one of those life-changing moments you'll remember forever.
