True Love: Love at First Sight-Ani's version

Ever since I was 16, my heart belonged to a certain boy. We had big plans for our future together. The certain boy went on a mission and I faithfully wrote him for 20 months. He was due home in October, and I was thinking I need one last adventure. Hawaii sounded relaxing, fun, and certainly I would have a tan to welcome him home with. Application was sent, acceptance was received, plan tickets purchased, and housing arranged. Off I was to Hawaii, to spend 2 and half months laying out with my friends.

My best friends that I went with. Jenna and Liz.

We arrived at midnight to our nasty little "Piranha house". It felt like girls camp, only the realization that I would be there for more than a week quickly set in. Without taking our sandals off our feet for fear of the unknown, we got ready for bed, and got the 411 from our new roommates who had gotten there the day before (that we did not know). We found out that our house, was in fact nasty, even more so in the daylight. We found out the house had rats. We found out that our house was previously occupied by cute boys, and that one of them was still in the process of moving his stuff out. They said this one was "hot". Silly, boy-crazy girls.

We went to bed and I laid awake in my humid room thinking and planning the next day that would start our semester/vacation. I woke with the sun, bight and early. It was a little too early to get ready for school, so I decided to go for a run. White tank, teal running shorts, and my gray New Balance shoes. My no make up rule was starting now.

Since we arrived at night, I was unsure of where the beach actually was. I could hear it and I could smell it. So I started running toward the palm trees. A few wrong turns, a few strange (looks after asking where the beach was), and a few minutes found me running down Temple Beach. I felt free and happy and excited for this new adventure. From Temple Beach to the point of Hukilau Beach and back. I took off my sandfilled shoes, stretched out and walked aross Kam Highway toward my dirty little home.

As I rounded the corner, I saw a white car in the drive way. Must be that boy. He appeared from the house carrying his surfboard, those girls were right when they said he was good looking. He was gorgeous. I got this sudden panicky feeling that he would get in his car and drive away, and I would never see him again. I started to run again, this time barefoot, down the sidewalk, and over the street to catch this surfer boy. I came to a cool walk just as came to the driveway and into his view.
"Hey, I am Ani!"
"Hey, what's up, I'm Matt."
And my life would never be the same again. My heart now belonged to this surfer boy, and would for eternity. I just needed to make him feel the same way!
We made small talk as we walked back inside. My roommates were all up at this point, struttin' around in their beach attire, excited that the cute boy was back in our house. They were on the prowl. I dropped my shoes down, and sand flew everywhere and I remember feeling so embarrassed. Matt laughed and then the girls began to flirt. And flirt. And flirt. I gave up. Whatever. I have a missionary anyways. I am not going to compete with these girls.

But I went to bed that night thinking about that cute boy with the long shaggy hair, and the cutest dimple I had ever seen...
