My entire life changed when I saw my school's production of Crazy for You. The leading male was a junior from my freshman world studies class. I hadn't noticed it before that night, but I had a strong attraction to Sam's fudgy brown eyes and sleek black hair parted at the right. I spent the night ogling him, wishing I could trade places with the female lead so that I could just sneak in one little kiss.
After a while though, I began to forget about the attraction. It was small, after all, and we were two grades apart. Then, my teacher, whom we hated oh so much, put us at the same table. I sat right next to him. This made the attraction spike. Before class started and during group work we would bond over how terrible a teacher our teacher was. I could talk to him for hours on end if I got the opportunity.
And that's when I got the news that our school's spring production would be Grease and Sam would be playing Danny. In preparation for this I watched Grease several weeks before opening night. This gave me an opportunity to get an idea of what I could expect to see from Sam and I liked it very much night of Grease came after 51 long days of waiting and I had been planning to give him a gift that was very special to him. After the show I would fill out one of the heart things that had a little Hershey kiss attached to it where you could write a note. I wrote who it is for and from, obviously, but then I will tape down a subway gift card for 20$. Behind it is going to be answers to the questions he will undoubtedly have. 1) 20$ 2) it is no big deal I would do this for any of my friends 3) just take the card there are no returns. I am excited.
The next day came and Sam was not in class or at lunch. He must have been sick. The day after that he came back. Before class he met up with me by my locker. He said he could not accept the card and as I was about to interrupt he proceeded to say without taking me with him. That knucklehead. So we made plans to meet up after finals one day to go to subway together. We texted and snap chatted nonstop until the glorious day finally arrived.
He paid for both our meals with the gift card. We shared stories and laughs the entire time and every so often I would catch him staring at me. After subway he took me mini golfing, which I wasn't expecting one bit. I am literally the worst golfer ever and he soon caught on to that and saw an opportunity. He took this opportunity to show me the correct way to putt. As he wrapped his arms around me I noticed the sun setting. How long have we been out? It only felt like it had been an hour but it has really been five. We must have had a lot of stories. Anyway, as his arms wrapped around me and guided mine I could tell he was the only person I would ever truly love. The shot was perfect. Hole in one. I turned and hugged him as I cheered and I could tell he was enjoying it too. Hugging him just felt right.
By the time we finished mini golfing it was dark out, but my parents were still out at dinner, so I invited Sam into my house for a short while. He got to meet my dog Mia. They had a blast together. Then once Mia was tired he turned toward me and gave me this little smirk that said it all. "Thank you for the truly best night of my life" "This night felt better and more right than my fantasies about winning an oscar" "I love you more than anything and I would do anything for you". He walked towards me slowly and repeated everything his eyes said, except for the part about loving me. He showed me that when he grabbed my waist and pulled me close. He lifted my chin up and as our lips locked in a fiery fury of passion I thought to myself "this is my first kiss, here it is, and it's with someone I care so deeply about, this could not be any more perfect". When our kiss came to an unfortunate end, he told me he can't wait to see me again, and I said it right back.
