| Are we meant to be? |
| by Natalie |
I remember our love at first sight moment like it was yesterday. I was in 6th grade and it was the first week of October. My friends and I were waiting outside our school for the bus to arrive. We were going to Science Camp for a week. Our bus arrived at 7:15am and we were on our way but first we had to make a stop at another school to pick up more students for science camp. And there he was, seated two aisles up from me and on my left. He was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and a Chicago bulls baseball cap. He was gorgeous! tall, tan, fit....etc. I could not stop staring at him...just looking at him gave me butterflies. And knowing he was attending the same camp as me had made my day. That is until the bus driver announced that we were dropping off my crush and his classmates off at another science camp. My heart dropped. And I sadly watched him get off the bus not knowing that I was in love with him.
One year later...
I had just started 7th grade at a new school and hated it because I hardly knew anyone. My mom thought it would be best if I and my best friend attend the first school dance...I was not happy about it. The night of the dance my
mom gave me a dress to wear and I threw a fit! I was angry because at these school dances you wear jeans and a tank top, not a velvet formal dress and like most teenagers I wanted to fit in and not be overdressed. And because my mom always got her way I was stuck wearing the dress and going to the dance.
On our way to the dance my friend was telling me about this new guy who transferred to our school. She was saying that I have to meet him because he was so hot and nice. Listening to her I nodded my head and said okay but thinking whatever. When my friend and I arrived at the dance we got separated because of the crowd. I figured I would find her by the stage where the DJ was playing. I made my way through the crowd and to the stage and then there he was...this hot guy was writing down a request for the DJ to play when he turned around and made eye contact with me. He smiled, waved and said hello. It was as if we had known each other forever. That night we danced like crazy and had the best time. My friend finally caught up with me and when she saw who I was with she was excited and told me thats the guy she wanted to introduce me to. Well the next day he asked me out and we were inseparable. We were 12 years old and in love. After a year of going out I broke up with him because I fell out of love and found him annoying. He was devastated and heartbroken. And hated my guts for it.
Then came high school. It was Junior year when we were reacquainted and he still hated my guts for breaking his heart but somehow we forgot all about our hatred for one another and fell in love again. That same year we decided it would be fun to be science camp counselors for a week and thats when it hit me! This guy who I am so in love with was the same guy I had my love at first sight with on the bus on my way to science camp in 6th grade. I told him about it and how I remembered what he wore that day. He was in complete shock! We had fallen in love at first sight twice! Once on the bus and then twice at the 7th grade dance. Its as if we are meant to be together.
Now we are both 21 turning 22 this year and I wish I could say we are still together but I broke it off again our senior year because we were constantly fighting and he had a eye for my best friend. My Ex best friend and him have been going out for about three years now and although he hated my guts again for breaking his heart he and I are now on great terms, it took us awhile but its better now then later...
And now that we are becoming close again I find myself falling in love all over...
