Most people spend their entier summer trying to be the best. Before this summer I had never heard of a so called dance machine until I went to Orlando. Oh, by the way I’m Erica and I’m 15 years old. I guess I’m okay looking but nothing extraordinary. I’ve never really had a real boyfriend and I want one badly! As I went into an arcade in Orlando I saw a bunch of kids my age watching people play this game. As I got closer I saw what you had to do, you had to follow the arrows on the screen and do the same on a mat or dance pad. It was facinating! So I spent most of my time playing, and after a week or so I was getting pretty good. One night I was playing D.D.R and I was in line waiting for my turn when I noticed this guy leaning on a post right beside the game. He was so cute but I knew he was way out of my league. On his shirt it said “ my smile confuses you”, that was so cute. About five minutes later a man came on the dance machine and started to dance and I heard the guy leaning on the post say “ I can totally do better then that” to his friend. I don’t know what came over me but I just blurted out “ says who?” I was so embaressed! But he replied smiling “ lets just watch you!” So It was my turn and I got on there. There I was doing my song and I thought I was pretty good. So when I went off he said “ that was pretty good” and he gave me a high five. Everything changed when he went on, the music started playing and he was so good. I was totally embaressed. There I was thinking I was really good and he was going twice the speed I was. When he got off he just looked at me, smiled and gave me a high five again. The suprising thing is instead of just leaving he stayed beside me so I just had to give it a shot and introduce myself. “Hi, I’m Erica!” I said. To my astonishment he replied “ Hey I’m Chris, you know your pretty good at this” Suddenly I had this confidence that I could do anything! “thanks, your not to shabby yourself” I said laughing. After a few moments he said “ do you wanna dance with me” My heart just started to beat so fast I didn’t know what to think so I just said “YES!” After about 20-30 minutes of talking I was really into this guy and it looked like he liked me too which was a first. I told him that before I had seen himI had met other guys but they were really ugly. (I really don’t know why I said that!) Then he replied “ I guess I’m no change, huh?” Without thinking I said “ no your really cute.” Then to my surprise he replied “your cuter!” Oh my god!!!! Had I heared him right? I must be dreaming. So we danced a lot and every time he would give me a high five. That freaked me out but at the same time I liked it. I could sense that he was the one, well for now anyways. I don’t know what got over me but I just said without thinking “ I’m really short” Why did I say that? What was I thinking? Oh right I wasn’t! But you’ll never guess what he did! First he said “cause I can do this” and suddenly he put his arm around me! JackPot Baby! But I couldn’t let him see that, I had to make him work for it. So I said turning towards him “and you think your so lucky?” He looked at me and looked insulted but in a cute way and removed his arm. This night was so much fun, I was having a blast but he made it even more enjoyable. After a while he kept poking me and I looked toward him and said “why are you doing that?” and his answer was shocking! He replied “because I want you to get closer!” Okay I couldn’t control my heart at that moment, it was about to come out of my chest. I don’t know how it happened but he put his arm around me again. Boy, this guy was pursistant! The only thing different about this time was that I let him do it. Chris spent some time with his arm around me and then he just went behind me and put his arms around my waist. At that moment I was in love with his guy! It was almost eleven o’clock when I checked my watch and he had to leave at that time. I just hoped I could see him tomorrow. Sadly he looked at his watch and said looking into my eyes “ I have to go but I want to see you tomorrow” “ Sure I’ll be here at the opening” I replied. “wanna walk me to the exit?” asked Chris I answered yes and he took my hand and we went down the stairs. When I hit the last stair my lips were dry and I could sense that something was going to happen. He stopped me right before the exit and said with the cutest face ever “ can I have a kiss goodnight?” I just froze… luckly it was only for a second and I replied “ I’d like that” He leaned in and kissed me. It was magical, I felt like I was in the clouds. We kissed a couple of more times and we said goodnight unwillingly. The next morning I went to the arcade at the opening and waited but he never showed up. I was devistated but it was better this way. At least I didn’t have to say goodbye to him. I’ll never forget Chris and even if he didn’t come, I’ll still remember the wonderful night he gave me.
