A hundred years later, in the same apartment complex in the same small town, two children were born, one after the other.
A boy and a girl, with the girl being three years older than the boy.
The girl was in first grade when the boy started kindergarten.
When the girl started high school, the boy was in fourth grade.
When the girl was in the eleventh grade, the boy started high-school.
When the girl was a college freshman, the boy was a high school senior.
The three-year age difference kept the two closely-aged children from intersecting much.
It wasn't until the boy also got admitted to the university the girl was attending.
At that time, he was a freshman and she was a senior.
During the orientation for new students from the same hometown, the boy and girl officially met for the first time.
Their hearts inexplicably fluttered when their eyes met, their heartbeats speeding up.
