We met through school, but became close friends through work. We both worked at Sparky's pizza in Sandy, Oregon and Dick's Sporting Goods in Gresham, Oregon. Braden and I were always close friends, we would text all the time, make fun of each other and hang out on a regular basis with our group of friends. I had the biggest crush on Braden my last two years of high school and after years of being in the friendzone I finally made my way out!
