Our journey began our freshman year of high school in 2010. I can’t lie and say it was love at first, because there was a rough beginning with us not getting along. However, with time we decided to give each other a chance and soon became very good friends. Our friendship ended abruptly when Azar decided to move schools for his second love, football. One day, as I was walking to class, I unexpectedly saw Azar walking towards me with a huge smile, and it was like he never left. And I know what you’re thinking; he must’ve came back for me. But really it was only his dreams of playing football professionally that steered him back. Our friendship continued, but we weren’t interested in being more than friends. Our love story began on the first day of our senior year. Once again Azar’s huge smile caught me while walking to class. As he approached me I noticed he was nervous, and that was a first. He started telling me that I crossed his mind all summer and that he had been trying to get my number, but hadn’t had any luck. After many years of not giving him my number, I finally gave in and we exchanged numbers. That afternoon I received a text from Azar. And before I realized, one text led to many late-night phone calls. That’s when I knew this could be something more than a friendship. After Azar’s multiple attempts to ask me out and some rejections, I finally decided to say… yes. Without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made. A simple yes began our relationship six years ago, and another memorable yes will continue our love story.
