Shadow someone, tense consistency
Hi,
1) Let's say that I'm new in school and I don't know anyone there. One day, I run into a girl who is sitting alone and we begin to spend a lot of time together. Could I say that I 'shadowed her' and that's why we began to sit next to each other in most of the classes and do everything together? I'm trying to say that I was the one who took initiative, struck up a conversation with her and then started to be around her more. I'm not sure if 'shadow' is the right word but 'cling to' sounds too strong.
2) "I have never washed the dishes more quickly than I did/have today." (I think that 'have' is the correct option. I used to know the answer but I'm probably getting more stupid with each day.)
"My back hadn't hurt for a while until yesterday."
Are these correct?
Thank you.
