We met as students at Northeastern High School in Manchester, PA, I (Abby) a freshman and Dillon a senior. During his senior year, Dillon had a free period in the morning because he didn't have any more classes to take, but still had to be in the building of course! So instead, he decided to spend the period in a class of a teacher he really enjoyed. In this class, I was a student. Dillon spent some of the time sleeping on the counter in the classroom, which I thought was hilarious, but when he was awake, our conversations turned into a friendship that continued even after both of us graduated and went off to college. I would not learn until much later that Dillon had a crush on me the entire time! After completing my first year of college at Bucknell University, I reached out to Dillon through Facebook Messenger to catch up, and I ended up suggesting we reconnect over dinner (just as friends). He agreed, but by the end of the night of our dinner, we both knew it turned into a real date and that we might turn into more than just friends :)
