Though we walked the same high school halls and shared mutual friends, our worlds never truly collided back then—we were just two passing stories in the same chapter. Years later, fate nudged us back into each other’s orbit with something as simple as a Facebook friend request. What began as a casual exchange of memes blossomed into late-night conversations, laughter that lingered, and eventually, a first date that neither of us saw coming. There was one brief detour through the friendzone, but even that couldn’t dull the spark. Now, nearly six years later, we’re living the love story we never imagined back in those high school days.
