We met through acquaintances, Laila was friends with a girl named Chloe Butler and she saw that she was hanging out with a particular group and realized that one of the boys was cute. Laila then asked Chloe about him and she said that his name was Josiah Ortiz-Allen and then Chloe gave Laila his snap and they began to talk. Josiah officially asked Laila to be his girlfriend on September 8, 2021. Josiah's first time meeting her family was at her birthday party where she had her whole family over. Josiah asked Laila to go on a date and Laila and her step-dad met Josiah and his family at uptown and Laila went with him on their date. The went to Chili's and then to Icon Cinema to watch the new spider-man movie at the time. Josiah then began to pick up laila from her house in the mornings and took her home after school and hung out there every night. They have been with each other ever since, they barely spend time apart ever since they met. https://youtube.com/shorts/PqgkFHVdPEA?si=bz5poivd2t87L_K_
