Sogblim- Who Knew

Okay, I don't know how the UoM course system works, so for simplicity's sake, I'll say Jeff and Rachael started college in 2003, stayed for four years and graduated in 2007. I also made up everything from 2017 onwards. Okay? Okay.

Freshman Year- 2003

Wow, good job me. First day of college and I'm already late. To make matters worse, I got stuck next to this complete asshole! I was trying to take notes, he kept using these dumbass pickup lines on me and I knew I wasn't the slightest interested in dating him.

I remember the first line he used on me.

Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.

It was so dumb that I wanted to slap him across the face. Then I finally learnt his name.

Jeffrey Blim.

He always insisted I call him Jeff, but I liked pissing him off, so I always called him Jeffrey. I hated him, while he tried so hard to get me to say yes to a date. He was easy to torture.

Junior Year- 2006

Jeff and I got casted into the Gold Diggers, and at first, I thought it would be complete hell. Stuck next to an asshole for the most of my days. But he went easy with the pickup lines, even though he would ask me out to dinner after every rehearsal that ended after six pm, he didn't use pickup lines anymore. I almost said yes, but the girls decided to drag me away to dinner. I thought I would go back and say yes the next day, but I decided that it would be a bad idea. So I left it.

Graduation- 2007

When we threw our caps in the air, everyone started hugging and kissing each other. I went over to hug my friends, and when I reached Jeff, I stuck out my hand instead, and he shook it. It was a truce. The both of us and a bunch of friends went out to a celebratory dinner, it was fun, and sitting next to Jeff wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. He gave me his number, and I gave him mine. Warning him that that number was not for him to text every five minutes, spamming me to ask me out on a date, he agreed. I swore that Jeff would be that one person I would never see again in my life, so I started calling him Jeff, just to make him feel better. He texted me everyday, asking me how I was doing, I started warming up to him, but I never got to call him 'Jeff' for long. Because we fell out of contact after graduation.

Twisted- 2013

The livestream was the first time I saw him in six years. And from what I knew, he became more tolerable, and less like the asshole I knew since the freshman year of college.

Eric teased us about our favorite acting memories of each other, because he knew about all the hitting on me stuff back at college. I acted like we were friends in college, but of course, only the Starkid gang knew what happened with us back then.

We got to rehearsals, and it was actually really fun. The moment I found out I was playing Princess Jasmine and Jeff was playing Aladdin, I mentally flipped out. He tried to put his arm around my shoulders, but I slapped his hand away on instinct. Everyone predicted that we would get together someday, and I thought they were just crazy.

I didn't even notice it, but we started warming up towards each other. I started hugging him and he would wrap his arm around me when I start getting emotional, we were friends, close friends. Unknowingly to the both of us, we were closer to each other than ever.

The Trail to Oregon- 2014

I was excited to play a role in a show Jeff wrote, and when I read the script, I couldn't believe he wrote that. It was beautiful and hilarious at the same time. I secretly hoped that I would get the Mother's role, because the character really spoke to me. And it looked like God heard my prayers, and the prayer I didn't even say out loud. I played the Mother and he played the Father.
