During our high school year of 2000, we met in our art class and became friends through our shared passion for drawing. In 2003, Michael helped Nellie get her first job at Game Stop. There the friendship grew over their love of video games. Little did Nellie know of the true feelings Michael had for her over the many years as friends. He worked the courage to ask her out in 2009. Going out all night to the arcade was a perfect date for any gamer girl. Michael was like the missing piece to a puzzle that Nellie didn't know she needed.
