Richard and Amina met at Harper Woods High School in 2012. They had lockers next to each other, and over the next four years grew from strangers to friends to locker buddies and finally best friends. On Friday March 27th, 2015, Richard asked Amina to be his girlfriend, but she declined citing a better date to officially be boyfriend and girlfriend the following, Monday March, 30, 2015. From then on they have been each other best friend and partners witnessing prom, graduation, college, pandemics, and apartments moves together.
