We met initially through a mutual friend at homecoming, but we didn't start talking until the latter part of our junior year of high school in economics class. We exchanged second introductions, but didn't say much more until Alex basically ate it in the hallway one day on the way to class. Connor was a knight in shining armor and extended a hand to help her up, then walked her to class. After that, we played some trivia games together, ate lunch together, laughed and exchanged personal stories (and phone numbers), he even came to see her perform (twice) at a dance recital. One thing led to another and voila! We decided to commit to each other, and now we're committing to each other for the rest of our lives.
