It all started when Fernanda Ortiz and Christian Rodriguez, 10, had the same class in the sixth grade. Since then, they have become best friends. Now, they have been dating for about one year and 5 months.

“The best parts about being together for so long is we became best friends and lovers,” Ortiz said.

On April 27, 2017, it was a special day for them because it was when Rodriguez asked Ortiz to be his girlfriend, their one year anniversary. They both were just chilling in school by the softball field when out of nowhere, a friend of Rodriguez came with a poster, where he asked her out.

“I was really expecting it, but it was cute, it felt pretty good,” Ortiz said.

Ortiz and Rodriguez felt really comfortable in their relationship and like to spend most of their time together.

“Although we have been together for a long time and spend 5 days out of every week together, I never get bored. There’s always something to talk about and laugh about. I feel like I can be me around him, because no matter how bad it goes for either one of us we can rely on each other”, Fernanda said.

At the moment, they are a very happy couple, and they look forward to being together for a very long time.

“These past years were the best, I will never regret none of the decisions we took,” Ortiz said.
