We have been going to the same school since 6th grade, and while we were generally aware of the other's existence, that was pretty much it. We were in multiple classes together, but our interactions were limited. Funnily enough, for one of those classes (9th grade English), we were actually paired together for a Romeo and Juliet project! In that same class, once Jaelyn was in a group with one of Trevor's friends, and she stuttered a bit. Trevor's friends started laughing and yelled across the room "Hey, I found your future wife right here, Trevor!" as he also had a slight stutter. Although we were both absolutely mortified at the time, the foreshadowing is hilarious now. We continued to interact minimally throughout the next three years and had a few classes together, but wasn't until near the end of senior year that we developed a closer friendship in math class over a shared appreciation of Stranger Things! We went on our first date shortly after and (as they say) the rest is history!
