Ant and Val started dating in 6th grade (fun fact: they were both each others first kiss!) After 6th grade, they went their separate ways but remained friends throughout middle/high school. Anthony transferred schools in the beginning of high school and they didn't physically see each other again until Junior year when he transferred back to Carteret. Valerie was wearing her cheerleading uniform and walked into Ms. Kately's history class and...the rest was history ;)
Valerie was in class talking about how much she loved chipotle (and still does). Anthony used this opportunity to ask her on a date, in which she said yes to that exact night. They enjoyed each others company so much they decided to go to cold stone, barnes and noble, & and Sonic to top off the night. He loved a girl that could eat apparently. (He even ate some fries with ketchup when he HATES ketchup. That's how you know it's true love).
