Patrick and I met freshmen year in science class when Mrs. Wellers sat him next to me. He was annoying—always cracking jokes, stealing my pencils, and whispering silly comments during class. At first, I couldn’t stand him. But somewhere between his goofy grin and the way he never stopped trying to make me laugh, I fell for him. By the end of the year, the boy who drove me crazy became the boy I couldn’t imagine life without. And he’s been my favorite annoyance ever since. Sophomore year we were on homecoming court and who would have thought we are now about to be married!!!
