When It Feels Good

Claire and Brayden had been together since the first day they had seen each other in high school.
The first day of Year 9 had seen them placed in many of the same classes, and drawn together by an instant spark of attraction. By the end of that first week they had become inseparable—whether between classes, lunch breaks, or to and from the bus stop—everyone at school knew they were together.
Brayden was on the swim team, and whether it was practice sessions, or inter-school meets, Claire was always there; his number one fan and loudest cheerleader. The same went for Claire’s netball – Brayden was there so often that he became the team’s unofficial mascot and good luck charm.
It was no surprise when they were voted the ‘Most Popular Couple’ at their Senior Formal, or when their yearbook pronounced them to be ‘the couple most likely to be together forever.’ They were the town’s ‘Golden Couple’ and everything in their joint life was going perfectly according to their plans for a golden future.
