"but then, upon meeting you, I felt I should always be with you."

Opening night for the production of Hairspray holds one of my favorite memories. I waited with my friend for the play to begin, as he practiced and got ready. For his last five-minute break, he met me in the same spot that we met for the first time, right in front of the science building. We all talked about how excited we were for the play, when the Theatre teacher (Mrs. Kidd) came out and called for all of the actors, including him. I told him I would see him soon, and he leaned in and pecked me on my lips and turned and walked to the auditorium to get set up.

A couple of weeks into our newfound love, we planned a date. We had a beautiful day planned for after school, where we would go thrift store shopping, buy snacks and drinks, and have a picnic at the park. After we window shopped, it poured on us. So, he pushed me in a cart from the store to the school and we set up camp at the spot that we first met and where we shared our first kiss. We watched The Vampire Diaries (he was forced) and ate snacks until it was time to go home.
