When you live in Hayward and go to Catholic Elementary School you are most likely bound to know of everyone in the area. We saw each other at elementary school dances and this neighborhood block party but never really talked to each other. In 2008 we both started at Moreau Catholic High School and we finally talked to each other. There was a hang out spot at Moreau after school for kids who weren't picked up right away. Melissa gave AJ her number Freshmen year and no call or text! Sophomore year came around and they started talking more frequently and eventually became friends who talked regularly. Junior year came around and they were locker neighbors and had a few classes together, and that's when they finally started to get to know each other more, talk more, video chat more, and eventually hang out after school. And then on November 16, 2010 AJ asked Melissa to be his girlfriend and the rest is history.
