Many years passed, and Sophia had turned 17 while Tyler was around 15. But they were in the same grade of studies despite her being 2 years older. Of course, her stature didn't suggest in any way that she was 2 years older, at least compared to Tyler. It was Tyler who looked older than her, considering he had grown taller and slightly bigger than her by now.
But now they had grown quite close, very close, due to many events that had passed between these years. Tyler never treated her like the other boys did. Most of her peers or anyone in general approached Sophia, either for her beauty or her family background. But Tyler only sees her for what she truly is, as an individual, as a true friend. As Sophia, nothing more and nothing less. At least, that's what she always says to him.
