From that time on, the childhood sweethearts started spending more time together.
Primary school was unlike kindergarten, with more time spent on play than on learning.
By the second semester of their first school year, Steve Burton had crossed the line into his second decade of life, officially turning eleven.
At that time, Steve started refusing rides from the family driver to and from school. Mountain bikes were in fashion then, and he, along with Rusell Henris, Howard Coleman, and Edward Woods, rode their mountain bikes in an attempt to look cool. Dressed in white shirts carrying backpacks, they would speed past the school forest, under the towering Paulownia trees.
This was a daily spectacle at the school.
Ruby Gregory and Madeleine, on the other hand, were still being chauffeured by their respective family drivers.
