Logan MacPhail murdered 15-year-old Holly Newton in Hexham, Northumberland, in January 2023.
He stabbed her 36 times after stalking her for an hour as she walked with friends after school.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that MacPhail, who was 16 at the time of the murder and is now 17, had been Holly's first and only boyfriend and at first it was a typical teenage relationship.
But MacPhail became obsessed with Holly, wanting to know where she was and who she was dating.
He killed Holly, of Haltwhistle, Northumberland, after she tried to break up with him.
The judge said the relationship between MacPhail and Holly had its ups and downs but was nothing out of the ordinary. "MacPhail lured Holly into an alley with the specific intention of attacking her where other people could not intervene," he said.
