Taryn and Scott met in 7th grade when Scott came to Monument Academy. His friends always teased her that Scott had a crush on her and she thought "no way buddy". The first conversation they had was in the lunch line where Taryn was getting some chocolate milk. Scott came up to her and gestured to her cardigan (that she wore everyday) and said "uhh is that uniform appropriate?" to which she responded "umm yeah". Taryn went back to her table and told her friends about the weird interaction she had just had, and she likes to think Scott went back to his table and proudly told all his friends he had just talked to Taryn.
From the first moment he saw her, Scott only had eyes for Taryn. His friends broke the bro code and told Taryn he had a crush on her and she could not have been more disgusted.
Taryn was initially hesitant to admit to romantic feelings for Scott. She even flat out told him he didn't have a chance. Despite this, the two became close friends until she eventually decided she couldn't stand to be without him anymore. She fell wildly in love with her now best friend!
