Sutton and I met in 7th grade, but didn't really get to know each other well until Junior year of high school. Sutton got my number from a mutual friend, and we started talking. He would bring me Sonic during games when I cheered, and always seek me out to walk to class together. We went on a date to see Bohemian Rhapsody, but realized we each had a bit of growing up to do, so we went our separate ways....until the following summer. Sutton would come over to my house every day after school and we would meet every morning an hour before school started just to spend more time together. As time time went on, not only did my parents fall in love with him, but so did I. Going to a small private high school everyone was in everybody else's business all the time, so Sutton and I decided to tell everyone we were just friends. We thought we had done a good job until Mr. McGehee cornered me during a trip to Florida and asked "When are y'all going to stop lying to everyone about just being friends?". Soon after, Sutton and I chose to give up the facade, and chose October 6, 2019 as our anniversary date.
