Jessie and I first met at Inverness Middle School when I was 10 and he was 12 years old. He said he first saw me sitting in Ms.Whitelaw’s classroom but for me, it was when he arrived to my dance team practice. Over the years we stayed pretty close. We had English classes and lunch together, but we bonded during art class. Once we graduated we stayed in contact and I would find excuses to go to Publix because I knew he worked there. We grew a little distant over the years till I sent him a Facebook message asking if he could help with a painting but we both knew it was because I saw that he was single. He surprised me at work one day with lunch, and we’ve been together ever since.
