We met in 6th grade and immediately were infatuated with each other, but were too shy to say anything to one another. We stayed friendly and had a couple of flirtatious comments but that was all. After a couple of years of not really talking, in 10th grade, Katie finally made a move and got in contact with Mak. They hit it off immediately and were inseparable. December 20, 2020, was the start of the most amazing love story.
