A lot of these are very heartwarming stories <3~
My SO and I met through friends.
There were two girls, K and M, which went to my town's middle school together. K moved to nearby riverdale, where she cultivated new friendships, including my SO. Late in high school I was infatuated with M, and hung with her quite often. K and M kept a close friendship, and M hosted some of the best parties I've ever been to (dry, if you can believe it =o) that K often brought her friends to. However, I didn't actually meet my SO for a long time...she began dating a rather dickish mutual friend of ours (also a friend of M) and I heard bad things about her since there was a complicated love triangle between said friend, her, and another girl. I was not keen on meeting my SO, nor she on me since she had heard such -good- things about me, and knew the impression I must have of her
.
Long story short, with all the complicated politickings of high school past, we are happily relationship-ed.
