We met at the beginning of our second year at the University of Akron. Although we already knew who each other were from sharing the same friend group, we hadn't met in person until then. On the night we finally met, our friends got together to celebrate the upcoming school year with some fun games and drinks. Katie introduced herself to Matt, as they hadn't met in person before. They hit it off almost immediately and spent the rest of the night talking. Over the next couple of years, we became great friends, talking about everything and anything. Our friends noticed the bond we shared and often commented on how we felt about each other, but we denied it time and time again. It wasn't until the end of 2020 of our fourth year that we finally admitted to one another that our friendship meant a little something more.
