Eight years ago, in the hallways of high school, something special quietly began. I was just a teenage girl navigating the usual chaos of classes, friends, and future dreams. Axel was the boy who made me smile when I least expected it. We met between classes, sharing jokes over homework and slowly discovering how easy it felt to talk to each other. What started as friendship turned into something deeper—something real. From school dances and late-night calls to graduation and the big unknowns of adulthood, we stayed side by side. While many high school couples faded with time, Axel and I only grew stronger—choosing each other again and again. Now, eight years later, our love is still going strong. What began in high school has become a lifelong bond—rooted in laughter, loyalty, and a love that never stopped growing. Our story started young, but it was always meant to last.
