Story

Every relationship begins in it's own unique and beautiful way.

Ours is a story of a single shared locker.

The year is 2009. Our Grade 12th year. Fate decided it would be a good idea for us to share 7/8 courses together. With this predicament, there could only be two possible outcomes:

A) The two of us would become sick and tired of each other

or

B) A dangerous high school power couple was about to be formed.

During that year, we were hard at work. In Math class, we used different formulas to figure each other out and carefully calculated whether we liked each other. In Chemistry, we both struggled mightily but found comfort in one another and bonded in our misery. In English, we learned how NOT to communicate from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and thought hard about the perfect words to say to each other. While in biology.... surprisingly nothing happened in biology.

After every class, we would walk to our single, shared locker. Jeff had his own locker of course, but asked to share Mia's because it was at a more "convenient" location. At this locker, we would share bad jokes and sincere laughs with one another. Jeff would never fail to make the locker a mess and Mia would never fail to tidy it up and never kicked him out. As the days and weeks came and went, the friendship became something a bit more. Finally, on November 15th 2009, some words were said and an important question was asked. With that, Scenario B came into fruition and the rest is history.
