We first met the summer before High School in Junior ROTC. A little prep camp to give us a leg up for the following year. He had very piercing light blue eyes. We didn't talk a whole lot, but I couldn't help but look his way any chance I got. When school finally started, I had learned that we shared a class, and were sat right next to each other. I used to copy his homework, and that's how we got to talking. Eventually his "bad boy" tendencies rubbed off on me, and the repeat offender had gotten me to skip class with him. We spent the entire skipped class walking around and talking, and then he kissed me for the first time. The next semester we didn't have any shared classes, so we had lost contact. A few years later, he had walked into my workplace and we had gotten to talking again. It ended up being bad timing since I was in a relationship at the time. But, we had exchanged contact info to hang out at some point. A year later, I had gotten a text from a random number asking me to go to a party. It turned out to be Bryland inviting me to his 21st Birthday party. I had just ended a bad relationship, and said why not. And the rest was history.
