We met at a Christian organization at VCU called Intervarsity. Payton is a student at VCU studying art education so she naturally ended up at the organization. I (Noah) am not a student of VCU but I was looking for some friends and had a few acquaintances in Intervarsity so I decided to try it out. After a few times of going I noticed Payton as the cute, hip girl who seemed a little too cool for me. But, I'll be honest I was putting my best outfits on display so I thought I might have a good shot. Finally, at a game night on the soccer field on Cary I approached Payton and we had our first conversation. "(Noah) Hey, I like your shirt! (Payton) Thanks, me too." It took some time after that riveting encounter for us to start talking but we finally got there.
