Kayla and Zackery's story began at a greek social planning event between Kappa Sigma and Chi Omega. They were both of their respective organization's Presidents and were sitting down at Sawmill to plan a collaborative event. Zackery knew he liked Kayla after that because she had laughed at all his jokes. Kayla had thought Zack to be a little off, especially when he started backing up into her car purposefully when they were sitting at a light. Their journey continued from there as they continued to text and see each other in President's meetings. Kayla eventually asked him out and they reconvened at Sawmill. This first date, however, was anything but usual. On the way to the date, Kayla realized her tire was going flat. This lead to Marcus, her father, driving all the way out there and replacing it while she was on her date. As he was finishing up and about to leave, Kayla jokingly asked Zack if he wanted to meet her dad, and he surprisingly responded with "yes of course, unless you don't want me to?" A little shocked, Kayla happily said yes, and that is how Zackery met her father on the first date, and then by date three Kayla was at an Isotopes game with his family where they were all saying how surprising it was that Zack was bringing a girl over.
