“Freshman year. I noticed you on the first day. I showed up at Corvus with these big plans to be open about who I am, live a normal life in a new place where no one had any preconceived notions about me. You were wearing a plain black T-shirt, ripped jeans, and had all these bracelets on your wrist. I was immediately attracted to you, but attraction aside, I was drawn to how confident you seemed; it was contagious, and I knew I wanted to be friends with you.”
