When we finally got there I was amazed, it looked nothing like Waycross at all. The buildings were like something in big cities. There was so many different kinds of people it was like a rainbow of races. As we were walking towards Megan’s front steps I noticed that her yard had so many flowers, it looked like a garden. It was hot outside so It made the air feel and even smell kind of dry, but I could still smell the flowers through it all. Some smelt like honey and some like sap. Her neighbor was outside walking around his yard. He was dressed in these really short shorts, I really couldn’t bring myself to look at him for very long. When I stepped in Megan’s house I was taken aback. I hadn’t been there since they first moved in and they had no furniture or anything. But now it looked so cramped with stuff I was almost too scared to move incase I were to brake something.
When I talked to Megan over the phone, the week before I came, we made a plan to get a job for the summer. Megan’s mom works as a Book Keeper for the movie theater there, called Seaturtle Cinemas, so we pretty much already had a job working there. The first night I was there we went to see a movie with some of Megan’s friends. I had so much fun. The movie theater, compared to the one in Waycross, was huge and really fancy looking. It’s in the middle of a bunch of these stores, all different kinds of stores: antique stores, hair cutting places, banks, and mostly restaurants. The outside of the movie theater definitely could not compare with the inside, it was huge and colorful. There were so many people there and they all looked really busy. I couldn’t wait to start working there.
My first day on the job wasn’t like I thought it would be at all. Megan and I got stuck working in concessions Which meant we had to serve popcorn, drinks and other food like items to mean, smelly, old customers. We tried to make the best of it though. We met new people and made friends at work and we even snuck some free food, so my day didn’t start out all that bad. Then something amazing happened. I was just standing there, by the popcorn maker, filling bags with burnt smelling popcorn. I suddenly looked up and there he was, my love at first sight. Just standing there with his gorgeous green eyes, and his short curly brown hair. He was so skinny and tall you might have mistaken him for the broom he was holding. I had just seen the cutest guy I have ever seen in my whole entire life, and the best part was that I got to work with him.
After a while I realized that I was staring at him. Thank goodness he didn’t notice though. I started to go back to bagging popcorn, but I couldn’t concentrate anymore. I just had to meet him, talk to him; which was not as easy as you would think. Not because I was shy or anything, I tried to talk to him, I even flirted with him, but he just ignored me. I felt horrible. I figured he was shy and it turns out, I was right. We started hanging out and talking. For me, it was love at first sight. It had to of been love at first sight for the both of us, since we are happily together to this day. I will never forget that moment or that day. I found something so wonderful in a horrible situation. It’s been a little more than a year and I am thankful everyday. That moment was just a page in the romance novel we call our lives.
