TikTok is swooning over boy who communicates with his girlfriend when he’s grounded: ‘this is so bridge to terabithia’
A teenage boy on TikTok has people swooning over his dedication to his girlfriend.
Newark-based creator @higlyrespected posted a video on TikTok in which his friend is seen communicating with his girlfriend — despite being grounded.
“When you get grounded but you have to communicate with your gf,” reads the video text.
Peyton Merckling (@peyton.merckling) is seen on a school bus, attentively looking out the window.
“There she is,” someone says.
Merckling waves at his girlfriend before throwing what appears to be a handwritten letter inside a resealable bag out the window. She catches it, and his friends rejoice.
The video, while just 18 seconds, made an impression on TikTokers — it has more than 9.6 million views and 2 million likes since posting last week. Many have praised Merckling for how creative he got in communicating with his girlfriend.
“This is peak teenage romance and I love it”
“The simplicity of high school relationships will always be some sort of form of love to me,” one user wrote.
“knowing that I will never get to experience silly teenage romance breaks me,” another said.
“this is so bridge to terabithia,” a TikToker wrote, referencing the 2007 film.
“This is peak teenage romance and I love it,” someone replied.
When it comes to teenage love, if there’s a will, there’s definitely a way.
