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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAv1VczsJabW
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANA38jynET2fy
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAgk34OwxakO
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANAmMiqgdIetn
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.717Please respect copyright.PENANA8EGI53f4LE

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....717Please respect copyright.PENANAOuUbkpXM7B
Which has led both families to wonder..... Have they refused to love anyone else because of the love they have for each other??717Please respect copyright.PENANA06XcGDocnS
