John and I met in High School, my first semester in Second Period Geometry Honors class at Crooms Academy of Information Technology. He was a year older than me. John was extremely mischievous, trying to lighten the mood in a tense class. Sometimes that meant making jokes, other times that meant Heely-ing into class (yes, those shoes with wheels on them), and other times that meant locking our teacher, Mr. Hodge, out of the classroom by crouching behind the door and holding onto the handle. As an extreme people-pleaser, I could never imagine pulling off the stunts John did. It turned out we had several classes together since we were both pursuing our AA in Information Technology, emphasizing in Web Programming. I knew I wanted to be friends with John, but I never felt cool enough to talk to him and his... cool friends (it was clearly a different stage of life). But eventually, John and I had our first conversations together, we hung out in groups of friends, and we became close. He even offered to drive me to and from school every day so I wouldn't have to walk in the dark for my 5:58 am bus ride. Seeing John for several hours a day, every day, for about three years meant that I got to know him well and he got to know me well. We clicked--I don't know how else to put it. We saw each other get into relationships, go through break-ups, experience heartbreak, hurt, travel to new places, celebrate accomplishments, and cross the stage at graduation (or if your John, pull out the Heelys again). After high school, we remained great friends, meeting for lunch about once a month at our favorite spots, usually PDQ. After years of close friendship, John and I finally came to terms with the feelings we both felt for each other. It was more than just a friendship. It became the most important friendship in our lives. We grew, and changed, became activists and vegans, imagined up a dream home, and decided we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other.
