I Saw You from Across the Room…
Chapter 1 "Morgan."
Where I'm from, nothing like this EVER happens. You know, the "Cinderella" story kind of thing. That's why I was so surprised when it happened to me, well, sorta.
My mom was taking me to this ritzy hotel in Boston, since we had moved yet AGAIN, and the house wasn't ready yet.
The hotel was called the Tipton, and by gosh when she said it was ritzy, that was NO joke. Everything was gold, and had a fancy letter 'T' on it.
My mom told me to go get a candy bar over at the candy counter, since I was complaining of being hungry. You would be too if all you had in a day was airplane peanuts and a Sprite.
The first thought that went through my mind was, There's a CANDY counter? Whoa, this IS ritzy.
I walked over to the "candy" counter, and saw a girl working there, who looked about 2 years older then I, about 16. She had long blonde hair, and was in a Tipton uniform.
"Hey, what can I getcha'?" She asked me, sounding bored, leaning her elbows on the counter.
"Uhh…just a chocolate bar, I'm pretty tired." I replied, with her turning around, and pulling a chocolate bar wrapped in gold off the shelf.
"I'm Maddie." She said, punching in numbers in at the cash register.
"I'm Morgan." I said, flipping a piece of stray dark curly brown hair out of my face.
"Well, nice to meet you Morgan." Maddie said to me.
"Likewise, how much do I owe you Maddie?" I said, reaching into my back pocket for the 20 dollar bill my mom had given me.
"It's on the house. Don't worry about it." She replied with a smile.
"Thanks! I can get used to this!" I said, with a huge smile.
"Why is that? Are you staying here awhile?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Yah, just until my house gets built."
"That's cool. I'll see you around then."
"Yah, thanks Maddie." I said, turning around in the direction of the elevators to go find my hotel room.
Right as I turned around, I bumped into somebody, well, two somebody's, and dropped my chocolate bar.
One of them leaned down, picking up the candy bar off of the shiny floor and looking up at me.
He was very cute, with dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. His brother was standing behind him, and it was obvious that they were twins.
"Sorry about that." He said, handing the chocolate bar to me.
"It's ok. Well, umm…thanks. I have to go…bye." I said, struggling with words, since his eyes just made you melt.
"Wait, I didn't seem to catch your name." He called when I was about a couple feet away from him.
"Oh, it's Morgan." I said, coming back closer to him.
"Oh, well, nice to meet your Morgan, I'm Zack." He replied, smiling a smile that lit up the room.
"And I'm Cody." His twin brother shouted from behind him.
"Well, nice to meet both of you, I have to get going. See ya." I said, running off, into the elevators that had just opened their doors.
"Hey Zack, she dropped something." Cody said, pointing to the ground at a shiny hot pink rhinestone covered cell phone.
Zack kneeled down on the ground, picking up the glittery cell phone with his right hand.
He didn't say anything, because he had been mesmerized by her beauty, with her long dark curls and tanned skin.
He got up from the shiny wood floor with the cell phone in hand. Cody had gone to talk to Maddie, so Zack was just standing there all alone, with a pink, glittery cell phone.
Then, through all the noise of the guests in the hotel, he whispered, "Morgan."
