We met in 2017 at Tyrone Mall, when we were just 14 and 16 years old- far too young to imagine that a simple moment would turn into a lifetime. What started with Nate asking me for my phone number quickly became something neither of us could have expected. A couple of days later, he invited me to the beach with his family and friends. That day marked the beginning of something truly special. On June 17th, we officially started dating, and since then, we've grown up side by side. We've remained best friends and each other's biggest supporters. What began as young love turned into forever.
