They met the old-fashioned way - in high school Spanish class. They sat next to each other, and from day one, they couldn’t stop talking. He was the loud, funny skater boy always getting called out by the teacher, and she (the resident hippie with a soft spot for rebels) somehow ended up as his unofficial defender. That’s how their friendship began—him cracking jokes, her laughing way too hard, and both of them pretending they didn’t feel a little more than just “friends.” They were total opposites from the start. He wore black, she wore pink. He was edgy, she was earthy. But somehow, they balanced each other out like yin and yang. They could spend hours talking and laughing, and it always felt easy and natural. Over time, their friendship grew into something more, and they became high school sweethearts. Years later, they still make each other laugh every single day. Their styles haven’t changed much (you can still find Alyssa in something flowy and Jesse in Vans), but their love has only grown deeper. From opposite ends of the spectrum to perfectly in sync, somehow, they just fit.
