Drew Howard Every New Years, Frye’s Skating Rink has this thing called all night skate, where you skate from 7pm to 7am. Every year me and all of my friends went, it was “the thing” to do back then. One year in particular was my favorite, 2009 to be exact. It was the night I met the person I’ll be spending the rest of my life with. My friend Devin was there who I had known since the beginning of middle school, so it wasn’t a surprise that I was looking for him when I heard he was there. Devin was a dancer, and a good one at that. He had a group called Slide Five which consisted of him and four other people, Ruben, Alex, Bailey, and Drew. Out of all of them, Drew was the most popular, or the “bad boy” out of the group. To me, he was the cutest.

I mean hello, Drew Howard was noticing and paying attention to me. But I put on a fake smirk and acted like I didn’t care what he said. It came time for Slide Five to dance in the middle of the rink, right before the bell dropped, so I went and sat on a bench to watch. While I was sitting there, my friend Delanie comes over to let me know that she saw me talking to Drew, and congratulate me on how lucky I was to get to speak to him. If you can’t tell, every girl in my grade had a crush on him. I let her know that I was playing hard to get, and that’s what got his attention. Drew and I spent most of the rest of the night together, getting to know each other a little better, laughing and cracking jokes. It was almost time to go, and he asked for my number, and
