People described Emma as bubbly and fun-loving and positive.

So before long, freshman Emma is going out with a junior on the football team.
Number eight, Riley Gall.
Riley Gall and Emma Walker were just this sort of quintessential high school couple.
You know, the cheerleader and the football player.
Was he the classic jock in high school?
What did you think right away of this new boy that she was smitten with?
He came in very polite, very nice in the beginning.
I thought he was a very nice-looking young man, well-mannered.
What were the rules about dating and going out and...
Never would let them go out on a formal date.
He could come over to the house.
They would meet up after football games to eat and things like that.
If you look at Emma's social media, they look like the couple so many envied in high school.
And what was the relationship like?
Over time, I do think cracks began to emerge in this veneer, and they looked like another typical high school couple, an archetype that people are familiar with, which is the make-up and break-up couple.
