It all started in 7th grade when I met Brian. I was immediately drawn to him because of his bright red hair and cute little freckles. I took every chance I got to sit next to him and talk to him but he was a shy 12 year old boy so it took a while before he warmed up to me. A few months into 7th grade, I became part of his friend group and we would hang out at lunch everyday. He made me laugh so much and I just loved being around him.

In 8th grade, we would spend hours Skyping each other after school and flirting online. We would always say we would hug the next time we saw each other in person but we were always too shy. On Fridays, I would walk Brian home from school but as soon as we got close to his house I had to leave so his mom wouldn't see him with a girl haha. Our little walks became our little dates; we would get ice cream or burgers and just chat forever.

One day when my best friend was Skyping with Brian he told her that he wanted to marry me. He had it all planned out; he wanted to get the ring from Kay and propose with the ring in a fortune cookie. I remember when she told me about it I seriously contemplated if I wanted to marry Brian and I thought, "Yeah, I'd marry Brian." Despite us crushing on one another, we stayed friends since we were so young.
