June 2012

the night before we graduated, we hung out in the car at the movie parking lot. talked a lot about our future together. we knew we were about to go separate ways in the next chapter of our life. one question remained. what would happen to us? 

C started this conversation. he told me “i know i want to still be with you. but i need to ask. do you want to continue our relationship in college?” i responded “yes, of course” he was surprised by my answer. he didn’t know how much i loved him at this point already.

my mom woke me up the morning of prom and she tells me “i signed you up for a photo shoot at the park. go tell C so he can start getting ready.” mind you, my mom and C have yet to meet at this point. now they were going to meet while we took prom professional pictures together. we pick him up and end up taking super cute and awkward pictures. 

me and C head to prom with our friends on our party bus. “all i want is you” by miguel is playing on the radio and i started singing to C. i was already so happy at this point.

May - June 2012

at our high school, if you have good grades and finished up all your credits to graduate when you’re a senior, you have the opportunity to do senior service. basically its a time you can volunteer for anyone in the community. C had no clue who he wanted to volunteer for. i already knew i wanted to volunteer for my kindergarten teacher. i asked him if he wanted to join me. he said yes.

we’ve already decided what colleges we were going to so we knew we had to spend as much time together as possible. this was our solution for now to our problem of distance later. 

sometime in September 2008. 1st day of global history 9 honors class.  

the day our journey together began.
