Go to Post People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. - Koko Ed [more]

My FIRST Love story - PT 3

This year, since I was not sponsored by my school, I had to pay for the trips on my own. It was all that I asked for for my birthday and christmas. But my dad told me that It while it may be possible to go to Kickoff and Chicago, both are not garaunteed, so pick one. I chose Kickoff, thinking that I could get the money to go to Chicago by then. It never happend, and after I had promised Elvira I would be in Chicago for the regional, I had to tell her I couldnt go. It would be an even longer wait now.

As the days got closer and closer to Nationals, I kept trying to call her to make plans to meet up with her. But everytime I called she chatted with me for minutes at a time, then she would excuse herself and say goodbye. At Nationals, we constantly missed each other, and with me Volunteering with FIRST, I had less time to stop by and say hi to her. It was constantly me choosing to be with FIRST rather than her, and when we finally did cross paths, It was at the wrap party.

I had just parted ways with my dad, when I went to one of the dance halls, and noticed Elvira up in front of me, walking that way. I caught up with and surprised her, and we started to dance. But while we were dancing, a guy started coming towards her, and she told me that there was something she had to tell me: She had a boyfriend. She introduced to the guy who I thought to be her boyfriend and I just could not stay there any longer. I left, not knowing what else to do. Before I left, she had told me to call her that evening so we could talk things out. i never did.

The next morning, sunday, Instead of calling her and heading over to talk, I used my annual pass to Islands of Adventure. I was quite upset, and for awhile, riding the coasters made me feel better, but didnt change anything. About 4pm I decided to head over to her hotel and talk to her. I caught her just as she was leaving for Disney, and she asked me to come along. But I felt like a third wheel. Actually, I was a seventh. It was her and two friends and Marco and two friends.

Being upset put me in a rather sarcastic mode, and was getting laughs in a real Dennis Leary kinda way. It took me awhile, but I came to my senses, and realised I was acting childish. I finally called a stop to my actions, and was about to leave, until Elvira's friend saw right through me. She new I was acting, just to leave everything peaceful. She got Elvira and Myself alone together to talk, but there was nothing I could say. It was the evening now, and the past two years had been very much like a rollercoaster. The only thing I really wanted was for her to be happy. So I told her, truly and sincerely, "Have a good time with marco.". I left then, and drove home that night.
