My disease is as rare as it is famous. It\u2019s a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, but basically, I\u2019m allergic to the world. I don\u2019t leave my house and have not left my house in fifteen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But then one day, a moving truck arrives. New next-door neighbors. I look out the window, and I see him. He\u2019s tall, lean, and wearing all black\u2014black t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. I want to learn everything about him, and I do. I learn that he is funny and fierce. I learn that his eyes are Atlantic Ocean-blue and that his vice is stealing silverware. I learn that when I talk to him, my whole world opens up, and I feel myself starting to change\u2014starting to want things. To want out of my bubble. To want everything, everything the world has to offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe we can\u2019t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It\u2019s almost certainly going to be a disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone ages 13-19 is welcome to attend! We can\u2019t wait to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
