Varun & Sanya

I knew Sanya was special from day one. On my first day at Rock Ridge High School, I caught sight of Sanya—a stunning girl who flipped her hair with confidence. "Wow," I thought, "that's attractive." I was instantly smitten.

As time passed, I settled into school life, made friends, and was eventually introduced to Sanya. I already knew she was beautiful, but it was her magnetic personality that made her truly stand out. Always the life of the party, her laughter and smile were infectious, and she was never without a circle of friends. Despite my efforts to catch her eye, she seemed to look right past me, which only piqued my interest further.

Throughout the school year, our conversations grew. I faked confusion in our AP World History class just for an excuse to talk to her. Without realizing it, I began to drop hints about my feelings. Playfully, I once stole her hot chocolate, only to surprise her with a new one the next day. Sanya started to notice these little gestures too.

Once winter break began, we started talking daily, and our exchanges grew more flirtatious. Finally, on December 24th, 2018, I found the courage to ask her out. I invited her to a movie date to see Aquaman, and she said yes.
