Post My FIRST Love Story - PT 1

Well, I'm just putting my 2 cents in. After all, I started the thread B^P. Actually, I wanted to toss it up to see what others thought, as I seem to believe that I have a heart of glass. So here's my FIRST-love story:

---------------------------------------------------

The first year I went to nationals, My sophomore year, 1998, I was one of the most, if not THE most, enthusiastic students. Team 108 was doing great that year, with GEEKS, not a bunch of SSSS (Stick Swinging Stone Swatters) leading the team. We even were runners-up in the chairmans award, with the sponsoring of a LEGO competiton at middle schools (Before FLL, think FIRST took a hint ). We had some signs to try and get the audience to do the wave, and I kept at it. There were 3 girls from our sister team, Wildstang, who I eventually got to help. Little did I know that our core team was already friends with those 3 and that I would meet one of them a little latter down the line...

In 1999, I was a lucky guy. I got picked as "Team Spokesperson" for my hard work and dedication and was the 9th man, an extra to attend the Chicago Regional with my team. This year the SSSS started to take over, with people who bearly did any work getting to be driver and lead positions, merely because they were seniors. But I didnt care. I was the team spirit guy, there to get attention for my team, and attention I did get at the Motorola social held on the Wed before competitions. This is where all of the Motorola teams got together to meet at a local pizzaria.

A way that we got to meet others was that we were all given cards, and had to make a hand of poker with other peoples cards. Like the psycho that I am, I started running around screaming at the top of my lungs "Who's got a match!?!", until I bumped into a girl and proceeded to drag her with me, until we got two of her friends and we all sat down with a two-pair hand, not bad. As we started to chat, I really hit it off with the first girl I bumped into, Elvira, and I was being my usually goofy self, telling jokes and such, even "Surfing" on a chair titled backwards.

Towards the middle of the evening, Elvira recognized me as that guy that got her and her friends to help me get the crowd to do the wave, and she even had a photo to prove it. The next three days we constantly ran into and hung out with each other, and even cheered for each others teams. We looked forward to nationals, as we parted ways, friday night at the awards ceremony. We talked on the phone between then and nationals, which was only about a week away, but we were practically inseperable in that time. Well, as inseparable as a phone allows, anyways B^P.

And we were even so at Nationals, the only thing that kept us distant every now and again were teachers, and our matches. On the we stayed together during the wrap party, and hung out at the parks together on the sunday. When it came time to leave, I had walked her back to her hotel room, and as her friend left, we kissed goodbye, for the first time. When we finally let go of each others hand, I turned with tear filled eyes, and headed back to the buses for the ride home to Fort Lauderdale.
