The year was 2009 as I began my first day of my high school career having no idea walking into that 3rd period English class would change my life forever. When I walked in that classroom, I instantly saw her sitting there and something just came over me as I was so infatuated with this gorgeous girl that was too smart to be in college prep classes, which was revealed later she was supposed to be in advanced placement. Let’s call it God’s work. But to my luck, not only did we share English class together but a few periods later there she was again sitting across from me in history class. As soon as that first day was over, I rushed home and immediately told my mom how cute, pretty, smart this girl in my class was and just how awe struck I was. Now keep in mind I was some shy 13-year-old with no knowledge of how flirting or simply talking to a girl worked, so I did what anyone young kid would do and ask her for lead for my nonexistent mechanical pencil to at least strike some form of discussion, which immediately stopped right after she gave me the lead. This would go on for the next year with blank, drooling stares that she ‘secretly’ noticed every time, so I had to think of something where I could continue seeing this girl, without actually addressing her properly. I find out that she is part of the crew team, never even heard of this sport, so I did what any boy would do and signed myself up and dreaded an entire season of intensive, cold, and hardcore rowing and working out just to be in her presence… still not having said anything to her except the continued stares. Fast forward a year, and after everyone else does the back and forth talking for us about liking each other, I drum up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend… without even knowing her. As time went on, we began to get to know each other and eventually became each other’s best friend. From our first kisses at the haunted hayride at 14 years old in front of all of our friends to now preparing ourselves to marry each other. There is not a single thing I would change throughout these 15 years of knowing this insanely smart, caring, and gorgeous woman and falling in love with her over and over again.
