Max’s Story

I first saw Ella at a West Linn Volleyball game during our junior year. It was near the end of covid, so it had been a while since we had been in school. The new girl from San Diego immediately caught my eye. She might have followed me on instagram, and I added her on snapchat or something, but we started talking. She must have liked talking to me because she came to one of my lacrosse games, and then later one of my basketball games. After getting to know each other, I asked her out on a date. We went to lunch at Holy Taco in Lake Oswego after my last basketball game. I remeber how much fun we had and how much we talked. I didn’t even finish half of my enchilada. Something my grandpa always used to tell me and my sister Lily was that we had happy hearts, and that was the first thing that I noticed about Ella. She was just so fun to talk to, very joyful, and loved to laugh. I knew that she was special. From then on we have had so many fun memories together going on hikes, going to concerts, traveling with family, and just hanging out.
