They had both gotten placed into geometry freshman year in high school. He was sitting behind Esme when the teacher asked the class to pair up for an assignment. Esme didn’t feel like trying that hard to find a partner so she turned around and got the courage to ask him. He inevitably said yes because once he laid eyes on her, he knew she was special. From then on they became best friends. He was there for her through her series of firsts and she was there for him. They’ve been inseparable since. ❤️🥰
