We first met in our very first semester through a mutual friend. At house parties and casual get-togethers, we exchanged small talk as classmates, not knowing what was ahead. That summer, things changed. We started hanging out more—sharing laughs, late-night conversations, and quiet moments that felt unexpectedly special. From then on, it was clear—we weren’t just classmates anymore. We were writing the first chapter of a forever kind of love.
