He caught my eye on the first day of freshman year. He was (and still is) the only person we knew that could pull off frosted tips and a full viking beard simultaneously, so he was hard to ignore. He noticed me, but I thought he didn't. We talked a little freshman year, then we both got nervous and thought the other one became disinterested. It wasn't until the end of senior year that we reconnected and both realized that the spark was still there and stronger than ever. We both knew it would be something special.
