We honestly didn't like each other much in the beginning... we both thought the other was stuck up. It was not until sophomore year when I asked him to teach me to longboard that we became good friends. He gave me a ride all the way back from Texas during Thanksgiving and on that 12-hour drive we both decided 'This is a person I want to get to know more'. As time went on I realized he was the only guy I really wanted to spend time with. It was not until I stopped by his house that summer that we told each other we liked each other. And a month later when school started we finally became official. Jackson was my friend first, and we valued each other as humans before there was ever anything more. Both of us had the mindset that whatever happens, I want this person by my side in whatever capacity that can be. Jackson and I are best friends forever, literally!
