{{quote|'''Itoshiki:''' You could even say that relationships in high school are a preview of love, for when you seriously fall in love!... I think I just said something smart.
Line 41:
* Pretty much every teenage movie ever made that wasn't meant to appeal to oversexed teenage dudes. And even some that ''are''.
* In ''[[Back to The Future]]'', Lorraine states that she knew she would spend the rest of her life with George McFly after they kissed at the [[High School Dance]]. Depending which timeline you're using, this is one week or less after she ''met'' him. There may be a slight subversion, though, as in the original timeline, the marriage was less than perfect.
** The main character, Marty, also has this relationship with his girlfriend, Jennifer -- weJennifer—we see them married with two kids in Part II. Again, in this first timeline, the marriage isn't very happy.
* Troy and Gabriella qualify in ''[[High School Musical]]'', with Troy even picking a college for no other reason than that it's near the one Gabriella is going to.

** Later [[Retcon|retconnedretcon]]ned into being "he always loved her, but Shawn teased him so much he assumed a 'girls are icky' persona to fit in." How much this explanation works is open to debate.
* This did not work out well for Will Schuester in ''[[Glee]]''. In fact, one might even call it a [[Deconstruction]].
** Quinn plans for her and Finn to end up like that.
