We met on our elementary school bus. We soon became close friends. We would spend our summers together at our neighborhood pool. Steven and I were there for one another through it all. Even though I was a grade ahead of Steven, it never stopped him from trying to date me. Finally, (as he and all of our friends would say) on May 25th, 2014 our seven year long friendship turned into a relationship. Since then, our relationship has grown just as we have.
