Ben and I met for the first time in 8th grade, we were both relatively new students. I remember introducing myself to him and thinking he was cute, I had noticed he had an accent, so I asked him where he was from. He had told me Honduras and I lied and told him "I totally know where that is!". He was cute, can you blame me? We reconnected in high school, when we integrated our friend groups.(Still thought he was cute!) It wasn't until a year later on the night we graduated, I told him that i thought he was cute and asked him out, he didn't give me an answer for about a week. Clearly, he said yes and the rest was history.
