Here’s the story: In middle school, Brooke and Tim shared the same teacher but were during different class periods. “The boy and girl with the highest grade from each class period were “king and queen” at an event we had”, Brooke stated.
“And well, we had the highest grades in our classes so we spent the whole day as king and queen together.”
