Relationship Status: For Julian, it’s complicated. Kyle is single.
HCE: So, how did you two meet?
Julian: Well, one day I was walking through the campus… just this little freshman trying to find my way around campus. And I see this guy. And I’m like, “Hey. This guy is pretty cool.” And he’s like, “Hey. You’re black and you got red hair.” And I was like, “Hey. Let’s be best buds.” And ever since then, we’ve been best friends.
Kyle: So we were sitting in orientation groups… this is the actual story. But I was sitting there in my orientation group and across the way I saw this little boy with red hair. I thought he was white… but he wasn’t. So I was like, okay, I’ll talk to him later. I saw him later that day and I was like “Hey, my name is Kyle,” and then from there we just clicked.
HCE: That’s too funny! Since then, what has been your favorite memory together?
Julian: Freshman year? Yeah, freshman year, when we did Midnight Madness.
Kyle: Oh, yeah. That’s definitely my favorite.
Julian: Yeah… We were cool before that, but when we decided to team up and do our routine. Everyone got amped for that.
Kyle: Yeah, because we choreographed the whole thing together.
Julian: Yeah, that was crazy, and we killed it in front of the whole school!
HCE: What is one word you would use to describe your friendship?
Julian: Sensational.
Kyle: Untouchable. Yeah, I like untouchable. Or how about flirtatious?
HCE: Do you guys have anything you’d like to say to all the eligible bachelorettes out there?
Julian: Let me think for a second…
Kyle: [Gesturing to Julian] Everyone this is Julian Diggs. He’s about 5’ 10” and he’s got a six pack. Light skin with red hair. Real easy on the eyes. [Talking about himself] If you’re looking for some chocolate in your life… let me know.
Julian: In the wise words of Will Smith: “I’m tryna find me some hunnies so I can get a little sticky… know what I’m saying?”
