We first met during our senior year of high school in our "Modern Band" class. As part of a class assignment, we had to form our own bands. Alex and I, along with a few other classmates, decided to join forces and become a group. Alex played electric guitar, and I sang and played the keyboard. As we practiced for gigs together after school, we got to hang out and get to know each other as friends. Alas, senior year ended and we graduated high school. Alex and I attended different universities, but fortunately we kept the band together so we were able to keep in touch. A few more gigs and plenty of horror movie nights later, and we became college sweethearts!
