When I first saw Ewan he was sitting in the back of a Philosophy tutorial. He was wearing a long sleeved shirt that had orange sleeves and a grey chest. On his head he was wearing a blue beanie that looked like it had seen better days. And when he took it off his hair was dyed a strange orange colour. It needed to be cut. And it was really curly. He wasn’t looking his best. But I was still intrigued. I was still interested. Something about that strange hair-do made me want to get to know him.
When Ewan first saw me I was wearing a bandana. A blue and white one. It was pretty ugly. I had a ‘pixie’ hair cut that I was trying to grow out. And it wasn’t going very well. My eye make-up was way too dark and I was wearing an ugly blue wool sweater. I was even further from looking hot that day. But something about my small town look caught his attention. Something made him switch seats to get closer to me.
When Rebecca saw Cory for the first time it was a mutual friend’s birthday party. He was sick and not feeling well. Or looking the healthiest. He spilled his entire dinner plate on his lap. He wasn’t very talkative and accused her of cheating when they all played Cranium. But she just knew. Rebecca was certain that this was a guy she just had to know. And as the crowd cleared out they started talking and realized just how much they had in common and how perfect of a fit they were for each other. Despite the food caked in his lap and despite thinking she cheated on the word ‘Abacaus’ they just knew.
