High School Sweethearts 

Welp, Ruby wanted me to share a story, and here it is.We were both just starting our Sophomore year of High School and were in math class (Mrs. Dooley). We were assigned a project to do with a partner and I was generally a shy boy, and I really didn't like talking to random peeps at the time. Ruby and I were assigned together, and I'm not sure what caused it, but Ruby decided I was the one because I was asian and quiet and looked lonely (she was into anime). I didn't think of it much at the time because I was dealing with other stuff such as my skin, and generally being a moody teenager. We had a good conversation I think, I don't know exactly, but Ruby said that after talking to me, I was just oozing with aura and I said, alright. Some stuff that should be known is that I was also part of Yearbook class/club and I had someone named Tyler who told me Ruby liked me. Like, LIKED ME a looooot (Word for word). I didn't really think much of it since I'm already dealing with so many things so I didn't pay too much attention to it.-Fast forward to the next year, Ruby and I would always pass by each other after my ASL class (6th period going to 7th) and another when I was on my way to ASL from music class (ion the periods sorry). We would always talk for a bit before moving on, but this was when Ruby said she tried forgetting about me, but I made it hard for her. And honestly, I was starting to feel something as well, but I thought it was just hormones and I still remembered when Ruby said she liked me, but I was too shy and I didn't really know what to say. However, later on in the year, Ruby disappeared quite literally out of nowhere. She wasn't in her usual spot in lunch and I heard from her friends that she actually moved to another school within our district (Valley Vista). To me, I was thinking that well, never gonna see her again I guess, but as if the universe was listening, something unexpected happened.-Throughout High School, I never had a personal phone, I only had a tablet that I used to play games on and I had little-to no interest in social media. However, once I got my sister's old dataless phone, I decided, you know what, let a brotha see what's the hype about, and installed Instagram, and to my surprise who do I see: a little chungbert called Rubyuwu. Being how I like to reconnect with old friends, I gave her a follow, and I don't remember it taking a while before she accepted my follow and we started talking. At this time, I thought Ruby had already gotten over me and already moved on so I talked to her like I would as any friend and we started becoming close again.-Now, I won't lie, I did have a few crushes outside of Ruby at the time and I even told her about them. The one that I remember hit a bit the most was from someone in Middle School who I reconnected with as well and eventually we were setting up for a date. However, it ended with her essentially ghosting me and then we went off on our own paths. I remember telling Ruby all of this and I'm surprised she was listening to me because I would've figured only someone who doesn't like me would let me vent about getting ghosted lol. After that day, Ruby and I would basically be talking to each other daily for about a month ish I would say.-Now here comes the big juicy one. After talking and hanging out with Ruby a ton, starting to get to know her and just having fun talking to her, I came to the realization thinking "Dang , do I like Ruby or do I just like hanging out with her?" But eventually, before prom in April, I remember asking Ruby if she was going her prom at Valley Vista (her HS she moved to) and she said she wasn't. I think subconsciously I was probably wanting her to go to our prom but you know, I'm a bit of a nerd and I still get nervous over this stuff (poop you ruby). -Prom day comes, I remember the date, 4/20 blaze skibbidi toliet on a rolex with a side of rizz. I went with my friend Chris, who sadly passed away but he's still a friend I wanted to include here. And to my surprise, guess who I poopin see. I see this mutha poopa blind Ruby with her friends on the dance floor, but I wasn't gonna go there. I remember telling Chris "Hey, is that Ruby?" and he was like "Yup I'm pretty sure." And we would just start wondering how I should approach her. He would always say just go up to her, and then would walk away to somewhere else, but I'm still a shy boy (I'm just a babeh, im just a bb) and I would end up walking to her and her friends as they were dancing on the dance floor. And guess what the poop I poopin say (chat write this down), my dumb butt asked "Hey I heard there was a chocolate fountain, have you seen it?" And Ruby says "Uhhh, no." Then I said "Ok," and left back to Chris. He asked me how it went and I'm like uhh, I just asked where the fountain is. So then we would just explore the prom area because it wasn't at our HS, it was in somewhere else but it was pretty nice, and eventually we found a spot where there's a cornhole game. Chris and I played I think 1 game and then just sat down on the side just talking. I think I was picking up the bean bags and would just messing with it and then I get hit from behind with one of the bags and guess who it was? Ruby poopin Montoya.-So after she did that, I asked if she wanted to play the corn hole game and she was like "I'm good at sports" and I said "I'm a gamer, I don't play none of that" and then we played. As expected, I won cause Ruby ain't poop against me but that's a different story. We eventually stopped playing, then I sat down on the side with her and her friends and we just started talking. Typical high school kid talk, "How's it goin', why'd you leave school, " all that stuff. And I think this is where it hit me. I like Ruby, and that's why I can't talk like normal even though on Instagram we would just play around like usual. But I remember seeing her and just being like "Dang, why my cheeks hurtin'?" After we finished talking, I asked where she was gonna go eat after and she said she was gonna go with her friends, and I was gonna go eat with my other friend, who's name is also Chris to iHop. And I remember sitting down at ihop, ordered a breakfast sampler, waited 2 hours for that, and was just reliving the prom night, specifically where I was talking to Ruby.-Once prom night ended, next day I would talk to Ruby like usual, and then we would start talking about crushes, and eventually I would start giving hints to Ruby about who I liked and you know, even though it took an hour, she said "Is it me?" and I got quiet, and boom. Now she knows I like her, and she said she felt the same, but I'm a weird guy right, I said "I want to ask you out right, but I think I should ask your parents if I can date you first." I'm a bit of an old head, so I liked doing things the traditional way, and on April 26th, 2019, I asked for her parents approval, and boom, I'm in it. So that was the whole story, and lowkey, I don't think our stories are gonna match, but I think our events are pretty similar in our stories. But thar it be, our full story from how we met, to how we started dating. If you need tips, I take paypal, steam gift cards, and yeah. Thanks for reading this far, I will be quizzing during the wedding so if you got this far, you'll be prepared lol. And Rubert, if you're reading this, poop you (Jk I wuv a woo a wot hehe, te amo, mahal kita lil rat).

The Beginning from Justin's POV

Alright chat buckle up because I'm bout to tell you a love story. Its a pretty long one so grab your popcorn and get cozy as I tell you all the emotions I went through before we officially got together.-It all started back in 2016. At the time we were both sophomores in high school. I remembering having two classes with Justin, math and history. In math class our teacher assigned the class to do a math project. She would assign the class math partners based on matching the duo of your cartoon character ( Spongebob and Patrick ). My duo happened to be Justin and I had no idea who he was. First person impression of him was that he was really shy and just wanted to do the assignment. I thought the project was boring so I would try to get Justin to talk about other things. My main goal was to get to know him because I won't lie he was kinda cute at the time but no feelings yet. It was literally to the point where he did all the work on the project and I didn't really do anything... BUT ANYWAYS after that project we started to become friends. We would talk every other day when we would get the chance. He would either come to me and sit in the empty desk nearby or I would do the same. After some time I started to realize I was developing feelings for him because every day I hoped it was a free day in class so we could just talk and laugh with one another. It got to the point where I would now tell my friends around me about my feelings for Justin. At the time I really regretted telling everyone because they would end up telling him and I thought it was the end of the world. I thought my chances were slim to none. It got to the point where I was avoiding him because I didn't him want to think I had feelings for him. I also didn't want to ruin our friendship that we had going on at the time. Avoiding him was nearly impossible, at least he made it impossible. Now that I wasn't going to him he was coming to me whenever there was an empty seat right next to me in class.-Fast forwarding to the next year. Now we are juniors in high school. Unfortunately, I didn't have any classes with Justin BUT I did have lunch B with him so that was pog. I would also see him every now and then walking to his next period. I remembered what table he would always sit at with his friends and would encourage my friends to walk around that area so I could find a way to just try to talk to him ( this girl is HOOKED GOLLY ._. ). Some days it worked and we would talk and just catch up with one another. Those days were honestly rare so I would cherish those interactions.-Towards the end of my junior year my family had to move to the house we are currently living to this day. AKA I had to move schools... I didn't have my permit nor license therefore I didn't have any type of transportation to school so I was forced to go to Valley Vista HS. However, I was fortunate enough to finish my junior year before I transferred schools. I was really sad. Depressed even. I thought this was the end for my crush on Justin. Justin didn't even have social media at the time so there was no way of talking to him. It wasn't even going anywhere anyways at the time so I finally gave up once the school year ended. That was until senior year started... ( bruh this girl )-Senior year started and I was on the mission to look for another crush to crush on to get rid of my lingering crush on Justin. Bad news, I didn't find another crush BUT I did find myself getting over him. That was until he got instagram and followed me... I was like what the flip. I couldn't believe it. I was so freaking happy just ask Reyna. She was in the room with me when it all happened. Of course I accepted it and then he sends me a DM. Butterflies filled my tummy. To think I was about to get over my crush on this dude he appears again randomly ( keep in mind he did this a lot). I remembered that I would not try to respond right away to seem desperate and to be able to keep texting him daily. It worked until the conversation ended but this dude would occasionally message me throughout senior year just to see how I was doing and he needed help on what to do with his crush he had ( heart broken ). Despite my feelings for him, I would help him build confidence into confessing his feelings to this other girl even though it really hurt doing so. I would then again try to get over my feelings for him but Justin just always did things to develop those feelings again. There was some nights we would facetime because I "needed help" with my math homework ( I didn't because I have big brain. Just an excuse to video call him hehe ). He even invited me to see New Year's Eve party ( that my parents surprisingly let me go to ) but he left a bad impression on my mom. My mom told me to give up on him, that he doesn't like me ( boy was she wrong XD ). Nothing exciting happened at the party but it was nice to hang out with everyone there.-Prom was around the corner and I was so excited to see everyone back in Dysart HS. My friends were able to invite me in so that I could go. Justin would ask me which prom I was going to and if I knew where prom was at. I would tell him but then he would keep asking me every other week. Then, I was asked out to prom... not by Justin though. This was good though. I wanted to see Justin's reaction so I told him. Dubs in the chat because brother was for sure jellyous. I didn't need his help because I knew how to turn down the guy that asked me but ya girl wanted to just see something. Was I satisfied? Yes. Did I think he might have a crush on me? No, because I didn't want to get my hopes up.-The night of prom happens and I was nervous. Nervous to see everyone and to see him. As soon as I walk in the doors I see him. He comes up to me and asks "Wheres the chocolate fountain". I was confused and not sure nor did I know the school was going to even have a chocolate fountain. After that question he leaves leaving me dumbfounded with my friends beside me. That whole night I was trying to find ways to talk to him but I was too nervous. It wasn't until the last 10 minutes of prom we finally started talking. I was so nervous but I kept my cool. We played corn hole and I won ( w in tha chat ). Then the night was ending and we said our farewells.-The next morning, I wake up to a text from Justin asking me how I thought prom went. We chat for a bit that day and then eventually we started getting into the tea. By tea I mean asking why we didn't bring a date to the prom. He started slowly telling me who it was but not directly on who it is ( GUYS IT WAS ME CHAT IT WAS ME ). After a couple of nights playing the guessing game on who our crushes was, we finally confessed to one another but we weren't together yet. Justin wanted to ask permission from my parents to date me. So we scheduled a date for him to come over. That is how the famous 4-26-19 day came to life. Currently 6 years together by the time I writing this and going strong. It is crazy how far we come and I can't wait how much we continue to grow. THE END from Ruby's POV :)
