My freshman year of college I made friends with Pete. Turns out our parents used to work together at the newspaper. I knew he liked me but was NOT interested. As we became better friends, he told me about his friend Rob and how I was never allowed to meet him. I shrugged it off and didn't really care.
At the end of the year Pete and I were thinking of moving into an off campus apartment since we both hated the dorms. One day he was to come to my parents house to pick up the listings. Well, he came over and brought Rob.
First impression: Who is this long haired freak in my kitchen? About two seconds later: Long haired freak is kind of cool. Nothing came of it but friendship as we both were seeing other people.
Years go by with us as friends. Two years later (June 7, 1997) we made plans to hang out with a group to watch a hockey game. After our team won, he looked over at me and said "So which one of us is going to tell Pete there's something going on?"
A few "breaks" later we are stronger and closer than ever...
(and thankfully he has normal hair now!)
