Chad and Evie did everything backwards. They went to the same high school, but they never hung out in the same circles: Chad was the star quarterback and Evie was the introverted artist. On graduation night, Chad's best friend Colin hosted a party because his parents were out of town. Not normally one to attend such a party, Evie went after her best friend convinced her. Inevitably, things got out of hand, and the next morning, both Chad and Evie found themselves together in an unfamiliar bedroom. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened. The situation was understandably awkward, since both of them had not drunk enough to completely forget the previous night, and Evie was even more mortified when Chad, attempting to lighten the mood, suggested that they have breakfast. Not knowing what to say, Evie agreed.
Coincidentally, the two of them got summer jobs at the same restaurant and ended up hanging out a lot for the next two months. They felt inexplicably comfortable around each other. Evie learned about Chad's fear of not living up to his father's expectations of playing college football, and Chad got to see the outgoing side of Evie that hardly anyone else was familiar with. By the end of the summer, they were very close friends but hadn't reached the level of dating yet, although the attraction between them was certainly palpable.
Chad left for Arizona State, where he had gotten a scholarship to play football, while Evie took off for UCLA. A few months later, ASU had a game against UCLA, and Chad called Evie to see if she wanted to catch up. She readily agreed, and the two met up after the game for dinner. One thing led to another, and soon the pair found themselves back in Evie's dorm room reenacting the night of the graduation party (except that neither one of them was drunk). But Chad had to leave early the next morning to go back to Arizona, so that was the end of that.
Chad and Evie didn't see each other for two years afterward. At the start of junior year, Chad suffered a spine injury at practice. Miraculously, he made a full recovery, but he could never play football again. Unable to keep his athletic scholarship, he transferred to UCLA. To this day he swears it was for the academics, but all of his friends know that Evie was in the back of his mind the whole time. After transferring, he and Evie reconnected right away as friends. He was sure they would eventually become something more, so imagine his surprise when he discovered that Evie and her fiancé Desmond were moving in together. Chad tried to move on, telling himself that he and Evie were never really together. He just smiled and congratulated his friend on her engagement.
Apparently, Chad was exceptional at hiding his emotions, because when Evie found out that Desmond was cheating on her, he only offered a shoulder for her to cry on. But secretly, he was hoping for a way to get their relationship to the next level. He got his chance when Evie told him that she had to sell the apartment, since she couldn't afford to pay the rent by herself. Chad immediately offered to move in; it was, after all, a very nice apartment, and it would be a shame to lose it. When Evie protested, saying that they had too much history, Chad reassured her that he would be her roommate, nothing more. It took all of three weeks for that platonic relationship to throw itself out the window after Chad moved in. They dated for the rest of their junior year and were engaged by their senior year. Then right after graduation, they were married in a small ceremony, with only their family and closest friends in attendance. (And Colin, at whose party Chad and Evie met for the first time, was best man.)
Chad and Evie have now been married for almost a year. When they had saved up enough money, they moved out east to Boston, where Chad is working as an assistant high school football coach and Evie just found a job at a small marketing firm. Life is great for the couple, and they can't wait to add to their family.
