First Encounters...

The Boyfriend:
Study leave, May 2010, aged 16, him 15. After accidently adding me on facebook instead of some girl him and a friend met that day, we got talking. His friend harassing me to meet up I took an acquaintance with me in case they were weirdo and met up with him, and 4 friends, them playing football, us stood there not knowing what was going on. Prior to this he had already asked me to be on his team and as he rocked up in a yellow top and brown shorts ready for football he asked if I was still in his team. Following the meeting a friend gave me his number and after texting 'Hi this is Jess, had a nice time, hope you don't mind me having your number' his reply was 'Jess who?' a little disappointing having only left him less than 5 minutes prior yet this would be the first of many. Hours spent on MSN or his ebuddy on his ipod and we met up twice after this with the group. 31st May 2010 approx. 23.40pm after hours of talking he asked me to be his girlfriend after 11 days of knowing each other. We've been together ever since, through his training in Winchester, sixth form for me and now uni and I wouldn't change him for the world.

Ben:
I remember talking to him on our first day after I tore my name badge to leave out my middle name and change Jessica to Jess. From this he told me although he lives in London with his Dad he lived in Kent with his Mum. Then after trying to find him on facebook I failed and waited till we got talking more. Then after our first lecture I caught him having a coffee with a girl who was referred to ever since as 'Ben's girlfriend' I interrupted with 'is this a date?' and scared her off. Since then we formed our little group :)

Vicky:
After our first day Georgie, Jade and I went to the book shop to collect our bundles. This is where i really met Vicky for the first time. After talking about how slow the queue was going down and not knowing what to do, she came with us to Nando's for lunch where we learnt more about her.

Liam:
My first encounter that I remember of Liam was sitting next to him in a lecture to then ask 'Is that a calculator on your watch'  which it was and his reply being 'yes, I didn't have one when I was young so I thought I'd have one at the age of 23'. After this he asked me to sign him in our first psychology lecture and has been part of the group ever since.

Georgie and Jade:
Met them on the first days on the train and just stuck together in the new environment.

Dan and Elliott
Met these through Ben when the group came together and Elliott showed his true self to us
