Lesbian Filipino and Palestinian high school sweethearts captured by Mady Noel (1) LOVE STORIES A.J. & DEENA – HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS WHO’VE OVERCOME HOMOPHOBIA At just 13 these two soulmates met, but it was

A.J. The air is thick with Victoria Secret Perfume and the smell of burning flat ironed hair. Lockers are slamming, and Drake and Nicki Minaj are topping the noise from someone’s crappy speakers. I walk in with my newly cut bermuda shorts, authentic black vans, and a pink shirt with a taco saying “Hola” to a sushi roll responding “Konnichiwa.”

I see her for the first time.

She is sitting at the front of the classroom. Telephone curls, olive skin, tight green Aeropostale v-neck, and an even tighter choker. She’s flawless.

It was 2010, and we were cringy little middle schoolers. I was overly confident and a smartass. Deena was one of those nice people who also enjoyed being petty. We were good friends for about three years until we started dating our sophomore year of high school. Of course, we were in hetero denial about our relationship for the first six months.

We were the people who said, “It was just a phase.”

Thankfully, we figured it out.

We didn’t go to the same high school, but we still managed to do every corny couple high school thing: football games, state fair, senior skip day, prom, senior prank, and everything else. I honestly think it is hilarious that we are high school sweethearts.

Being with Deena was something I never expected, let alone meeting “the one” at age 13.
