She explained, "She was in the class right next to mine, and I liked her so much for some reason. I never had a chance to talk to her at that time, but I borrowed her gym clothes on purpose."
She continued, "Then we became classmates in 12th grade, and we've become close friends ever since. One day I asked what her favorite color is, and she said it's purple. So I started to like it too. Purple is so meaningful to me."
