we met on the first day of our freshman year of high school + he absolutely did not want to be there. he was my biology partner and by "partner," I mean that I did all the work. he wouldn't talk because he was in that *mad at the world* phase, so I just kept asking if he would talk to me today, and he finally did + we hit it off right away. we went to sadie hawkins together, but ended up taking a break to go about our high school activities until the middle of our senior year. his friends convinced him to ask me out, thank you ryan and matthew (I believe matthew's exact words were "if you don't ask her out, I will"). we've been together ever since.
