As Sophomores in high school, I noticed that TJ and I had a few classes together. We seemed to hit it off right away, but remained just casual friends. At the Junior Prom he stole me away from my date to dance with me the entire night. We ran into each other again a few months later at a baseball game. I "borrowed" his sunglasses thinking that this time we would have to hang out to get them back. After that I had to avoid TJ for a few months since I lost his sunglasses. I felt terrible about it so I blamed my sister. Even after all these encounters we never really thought about dating. It wasn't til we were both seniors that it all worked out.
We were both invited to a party thrown by mutual friends. When I saw TJ there, I was excited to hang out with him again, but he called me out on losing his favorite pair of sunglasses. We ended up hanging out the entire night laughing about how I had to avoid him for so long. After that night on we were constantly in communication. We went on a date soon after and I knew it was the beginning of something special.
