We met in the 4th grade, and were not friends. I had a crush on him in 8th grade, but he did not. He had a crush on me sophomore year, but I did not. The summer between sophomore and junior year, we started hanging out and became a "thing" in July. Then after a few months of connecting, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend on September 22, 2016 and have been creating amazing memories and now building a future together.
