To the mountains with love

With three weeks left before graduation, Ashley + Zach first encountered each other during a basketball game on Senior Day. They spent a week or two texting each other all day every day (which involved Zach pressing his cellphone against a downstairs bedroom window, trying to get signal where he lived). Their first date was the movies and Applebee’s (she had a french dip and he had a steak). It was overall, a very awkward date. But the more they texted and talked, the more Ashley started to like him. Three days before graduation, he asked her to be his girlfriend standing outside Mr. Lane’s History class.
