Amazing, Shailiegh thought, that such a simple thing could be so rewarding. Granted, a fourteen-year-old’s view of the world found many amazing things, but this was different. This was new in a way that she hadn’t expected.1
She was lucky her parents guided rather than sheltered her, unlike so many of her friends. She was allowed to learn on her own; her parents just expected her to heed their advice when given.2
Amazing, she thought with a smile, leaning a little closer to her boyfriend, as she once more entwined her fingers through Adam’s as he softly held her hand.3
Author notes
"fourteen-year-old's" should count as one word, as a compound word, which Word counts it, which, I believe, is as it should be.

I counted 100 words, well not me but Works did
This story has that innocent feel through which most of the girls - and boys! - go at a certain age. It's fine to discover things on their own, specially when they have the guidance of responsible parents. I liekd the juvenile kind of romance you let is see. Thanks for your entry and success!
