George and Salina met in 2008 in their freshman year Algebra 2 class. George had a crush on her immediately, but had absolutely no game and so put himself into the friend zone right away. Their connection came easily, exchanging friendly banter and enjoying brief moments of each other's personalities. At the end of the year, they exchanged numbers. George immediately lost Salina's number and had to quickly resort to messaging her on MySpace to recover it. Their high school years were spent alongside each other, building a strong foundation of friendship. Together they went to dances, sporting events, ice cream trips, and spent hours parked in front of each other's houses talking about life. They served as each other's cheerleader, confidant, shoulder to cry on, and tough-love giver when the need arose. They visited each other at college, and spent the summers together with the strong group of friends they were lucky enough to maintain. After they both returned home, the 10 year friendship turned into a partnership.
