Gracie:

Jackson and I met after an intramural volleyball game at DBU that he was playing in. When we first met I thought he was an upperclassmen, but after talking to him for a bit, I was shocked to find out he is my age (and actually a few months younger than me!) All of our friends went to Waffle House after his game, and we all hung out for a few hours. A week later at homecoming pomping, I went up to talk to him and he introduced himself to me... for a second time. He forgot we had already met once the week before. I thought it was funny, and asked him to my sorority's formal that was in a few weeks. He said yes, and asked me to his fraternity's ice skating date dash (pictured to the side). All of our friends went and it was such a fun night!

Jackson:

I met Gracie after my intramural volleyball game when my friends were sitting in the stands and she was sitting with them. I just went up and initiated conversation to make a new friend, which we got to hang out a bit after as our friend group went to Waffle House. From there, the funny part is that I entirely forgot I met her. Shown by the fact that whenever we were building floats for homecoming I accidentally re-introduced myself in an awkward exchange. However, she still asked me to go to her formal and I was able to get her to be my date for my fraternity date dash. I had gotten to the point where I would have gladly dated her if I had known that she liked me, but I was committed to upholding our friendship to not ruin it.
