Meeting Crackers

When my Mom told me that we'd be going to Naperville for a program that Elder Graham invited us for, I was happy. I was very very very happy. Now you may be wondering who Graham is but don't worry, I'll tell you. Elder Graham was the first missionary assigned to my family to come preach to us about The Book of Mormon and Latter Day Saints as a whole. The first time I met him, I felt an instant attraction. Almost like what you'd call love at first sight. Now I'll admit Elder Squires, the other missionary was pretty good looking too. He was more good looking than Elder Graham- you know I won't lie to you guys, but I didn't really have a crush on him. I preferred Graham. His birthday was three days to my birthday and everything about him seemed to draw me in. I just liked him, but after two months of staying here in W (I'm keeping where live as W for safety reasons), Elder Graham got moved to Peoria and then to Naperville. At first I was sad, but I soon got over him.

Seeing him again at Naperville rekindled the feelings I didn't know I had for him. I had forgotten how tall he was, and I immediately felt short when I stood by him.

He kept looking in my eyes.

He noticed my green contacts.

He asked me about them.

He kept looking into my eyes.

He must have noticed my lashes too. I didn't think about all these tings. Seeing him made me so happy that I forgot it had been over six months since I last saw him. I tried my best to cherish every moment I spent with him because I knew that I had to go back home soon. It was a 2 hours drive back to W and I started to think of everything that had happened. I remembered the hug he greeted us with. It felt good to have his arms wrapped around me. I craved it. I missed him.

I remembered how he looked into my eyes, and then the sad thoughts came in...

Was he looking at me weird?

Does he think I've changed?

Does he think I'm not good enough?

Does he think I'm now spoilt?

Does he not like me anymore?

Did he ever even like me?

And although these questions ran through my mind like mice on fire, I knew they'd someday be irrelevant. We might end up together and we might not. With time, we'll see what the future holds.
