There is something magical about high school. At least there was for these two. The first to enter? A young man who has fallen victim to ADD. He loved building things when he wasn't playing one of his many instruments (primarily the clarinet). Despite anything, there was a girl who caught his attention by filming a performance.585Please respect copyright.PENANA9GC3CuVGPD
Not even a week had passed when they were reunited by the fact that she too was in band. She played the flute. He found a new friend in her and discovered some things about her. Her favorite food? Chocolate, no questions asked. She loves animals, but penguins were her favorite. She loved music. Purple was her favorite color.585Please respect copyright.PENANAx7P4MpwaZc
She eventually developed feelings for him. However, they could not agree on dating. It confused everyone because no one could imagine them with anyone else. And could you blame them? He spoiled her with her favorite things. His mother used purple silk to make her blankets and hats and a bunch of other crafts. He didn't even reject her affection.585Please respect copyright.PENANAOl4HpuVJoj
His senior year brought forth a reality that they had to face. He would graduate and she still had a year left in high school. "We'll still be together after I graduate.", he would tell her. She knew he was being optimistic, but there still was the doubt.585Please respect copyright.PENANAsvWq0CwdtI
True to his word, he came to her performances and took to different places around town. The hole that was in her heart vanished whenever he came to visit. As time went on though, it became difficult to see each other. She moved out of town to study music. He stayed and started repairing anything he could get his hands on.585Please respect copyright.PENANACRMpWULSVC
Now, 20 years later, she is a music teacher set on creating her own art school. She also has an adopted teenaged daughter. While trying to balance motherhood with teaching, she has refused to date.585Please respect copyright.PENANAeKTZqbo4pF
He still repaired things. It wasn't much, but it paid the bills. His mother tried setting him up on blind dates at her notorious karaoke parties, but there was never a woman that sparked his interest. At least, not in the way she had....585Please respect copyright.PENANAbj9BU9P8F2
Which has led both families to wonder..... Have they refused to love anyone else because of the love they have for each other??585Please respect copyright.PENANAVRwZPfOkfm
