I couldn't believe who just walked past me! He had brown curly hair, blue eyes and a lip piercing. I was new on this fine lovely morning, I started University at Brisbane's South University. It was big and I was one small girl who didn't know my way around. I knew one girl and her name was Mia. Mia had brown hair and brown eyes. I proceeded to walk to my first class at 10 past 11 and the guy who I saw was sitting by himself, he told me to come and sit next to him so I did. His name is Justin, Justin was a very shy person, but when he spoke to me his shyness went away.

Class finally finished and I walked out, Justin called out my name, so I turnt around and walked up to him. I didn't know whether it was for a good reason or a bad reason. Justin said something about him wanting to take me out on a date, he asked me if I would. Of course I would have but there was one complication........

I WAS GOING BACK TO AMERICA!!!

The next morning I went to school Justin was standing outside our first class, he walked up to me and proceeded to walk me to our seats. I started to wonder why he was acting so nice. It hit me he really did like me I didn't know why he chose me so many girls liked him. He was popular at university and I was the new girl, It made no sense.....

3 YEARS LATER.

Justin missed me badly and I missed him it had been three years since we last spoke and we didn't know what had happened to each other so I rang him and said....
"hey Justin, it's me Samantha, I miss you!"
Justin replied "hi, I miss you too Samantha, I love you!"
Samantha replied "I love you too!"
Justin then replied " we need to meet up, I'm coming to America in two days can we meet then?"
Samantha replied "Yes! Of course we can."
Justin replied "okay I will see you then, I love you! Bye"
Samantha said "I love you too bye..."
The phones disconnected, I started to cry.... I knew he asked me for a bad reason but I hoped it wasn't.

It was Tuesday and Justin's plane was about to reply, I was waiting at the airport and then a announcement came over the loud speaker saying.......
