AURELIA'S VERSION: We began working at the same high school in August 2016, our classrooms were right across from each other. Yet, Bennett did not acknowledge my existence until a year later. His rudeness did not stop me from exchanging common pleasantries though he said nothing in return. We went an entire year like this. Then, in September 2017, Ben began coming into my classroom trying to small-talk, giving me t-shirts and offering a bunch of snacks only to me, not acknowledging the rest of my staff. I was completely gobsmacked, for a second I thought he was after my grant money. But one email and several snacks later here we are spending our lives together. Bennett's Version: Seems like Aurelia's version says it all.
