Jamie And Scott example essay topic

I looked out of a small square plane window and see water, lots of it. It was the bluest, most spectacular water I have ever seen. I wasn't even really that excited when I first stepped onto the plane, but when I saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time, I was overwhelmed with exuberance. As we got closer to our destination I switched seats from the front of the plane to the back with the rest of the Lions band members. All of us could be spotted from anywhere, with our matching tan shirts with colorful lettering in the upper right corner spelling "HAWAII" big and bold.

I picked the seat that was by my friend Ryan, a blonde haired blue eyed teenager. It was such a clear day, you could see forever. The pilot of the plane was nice enough to lean the plane to the left and then the right so we could see all the beauty as we got closer to the tropical island. As the landing gear descended from its cubby below the plane, my heart started to race. Tears came to my eyes. I asked myself", What's the matter with you?

You'd better not lose it in front of all these people that you really don't know". The plane landed with an abrupt halt. Everyone but me arose from their seats, chatting about how wonderful it was to be in Hawaii. I sat there in silence, taking in the atmosphere. When it was our turn for my row to leave, I stood up and got a little light headed from standing up too quickly. I looked out the window at the paved runway and the planes I've never seen before.

As Walked through the aisle I got more and more excited. The stewardess shook my hand and told me to have a wonderful stay. As I stepped off the plane the aroma of tropical life and flowers just after an afternoon rain shower overwhelmed me. This middle aged, dark skinned, black haired man gave me a pamphlet and that's when I lost it. I cried like someone close to me had died. When I was waiting for my bag to come down off the conveyor belt, everyone was asking me if I was all right.

I could barely sputter", I'm fine". When we got our bags we met up with the other Lions band members. I saw my blond haired, blue eyed, muscular, tan guy named Scott. He wasn't from Wichita, but I still liked him. He thought it was pretty funny that I was crying hysterically. I gave him a huge bear hug, and then I looked at the girl standing next to him.

Jamie long, brown, curly hair came out of his Crocodile Dundee-style hat. It didn't register in my brain until later what that was all about. Crying and sniffing, I walked over to a native Hawaiian girl. She put the pink and white lei around my neck.

The smell of the flowers filled my nose and made me cry even more. I realized at that moment what a special place I was actually in. As we loaded the bus I asked Scott if I could sit with him. He had no problem with it. I stepped onto the bus and started crying again. People looked at me weird because they didn't understand the happiness I felt.

The feeling toward being in this special place called Hawaii and seeing Scott here with me, felt like an explosion in my stomach that made my whole body tingle. As the bus started and my whole body shook. Scott and I sat there and talked. I looked out the window in amazement at the palm trees which glistened in the sun. As we left the center the populated city, we climbed the cement hill at fifty-five miles per hour. The sun shone through my leopard-like sunglasses that hid my some of my tears.

Still on the bus traveling to our hotel, I saw the water at eye level, not from up high. You could see sailboats and smell the salt water, then the spectacular Diamond Head mountain came into view. The water was just as blue as it was from the plane. The sun was beaming down on the water which made it look so peaceful and inviting. We pulled up to a pink southwestern beach front hotel. The stucco walls were as smooth as silk.

I climbed out of the bus in amazement at how close we were to the beach. It was only a quick walk away. The hibiscus, which I think is one of the prettiest flowers in the world, bush to my right had vibrant red buds all over it. After all of us got done with roll call, the task was to find our rooms.

Through the musty crowded stairwell I made my way to the fifth floor. My room was with three other girls I didn't particularly like. We sat in our room and talked about what we were doing tonight after supper. They all wanted to go to bed, but since the curfew was nine o'clock, I wanted to see the beach by moonlight. Scott and I met up in the lobby after supper. We walked toward the beach, stopping at the palm tree lined boulevard to make sure no one was coming down the street.

We crossed the street and I ran toward the sand. My first step off the cement was the best. My brown scrappy Doc Martins sandals filled up with sand. It got under my feet and in between my toes which made it uncomfortable, yet I still enjoyed it. I took off my shoes and stepped toward the water while Scott stood behind me laughing because I was acting like it was the first time I had ever seen water. Enormous rocks divided one small portion of the ocean from the other.

Scott and Climbed on top of the rock and walked as far as we could to the end, but stopped short because of the crashing waves. We started talking: " I'm glad I made you try pineapple and you liked it", Scott said". I am to", I responded. Looking out upon the water I asked", I wonder why the ocean has waves? It kind of has a mind of its own". The moon causes waves by gravity", Scott said in his sophisticated voice.

"Well there blows my big thought", I said sarcastically. We headed back to the hotel because curfew was almost over. We walked by the hibiscus bushes and in the distance I could see one of the many ABC's stores that were in Honolulu. There was a steep incline up to a plateau where the door to the right led to our rooms. Since we had five minuets left until nine o'clock we stood at the balcony and talked: " Look at them stupid drunks", I said making small talk". Yeah, they " re pretty dumb", Scott commented.

We looked at each other for a brief moment when Scott interrupted the silence and said: "You know I like you", He said sweetly. "Really?! ?" I said in a high-pitched voice. "Yep I sure do", He said assuring ly. "Wow, I've never had a guy just come right out and say that before.

I feel special". We looked at each other for a brief moment in happiness. "What time is it?" I asked. "Crap! It's 9: 10 already. We'd better go because we " re already late", he said.

The door to the stairs were locked so we was forced to take the lobby elevator. At the same time Mr. Emery was late. The three of us stood in a dead silence. The elevator stopped at the third floor where Scott and Mr. Emery got off. I was all by myself now in the lonely elevator. If I would have moved to the left or right it would have made an awful racket.

My room was three doors down from the elevator. I walked briskly to the door and to my surprise my roommates were still up waiting for me. Michelle asked: " Where were you?" In a snotty rich-girl voice". I was at the beach". I replied firmly". Well, I hope you " re happy that we lied for you!" she added".

Thanks". I said not knowing what to really say. I forgot them and climbed in bed. Now I was off to peaceful slumber. No worries, just-the thoughts of Hawaii and Scott filling my dreams. The stars twinkled in the sky the night of our first moonlight swim.

Scott swooped me up from the water into his arms. I was su prized he could actually pick me up. I felt extra special to think he might really truly like me. It was so clear that night in his arms, crystal clear. Then I was dropped flirting ly by Scott. Gasping for breath I came up from the water.

I barely had my head above the water when - BOOM! I was tackled by Scott. Flailing my arms with his body pressed against mine. I screamed", Mercy!

Mercy!" . He just laughed and kept tickling me. I fought my way up splashing him back with the warm water of the Pacific Ocean. "Stop!

Stop!" Scott said in a panicked voice". What?" I said". I lost my contact". he said". No way".

I said su prized". Yeah I did and it was all because of you" he said jokingly". I'm sorry. I'm sorry".

I said back". It's okay, I knew I would lose one so I brought my spares". he stated". Do you want me to pay for it?" I said in a concerned voice. "No!" he said sternly". I'm really sorry".

I said sympathetically. "It's alright, really". He said. Jamie, Scott and I were the only Lions band members left in the water. I kept glaring at Jamie when she tried to look at Scott for one simple moment. I suppose she sensed something because she left with a quick goodbye.

I didn't want to be rude so I kept my happiness on the inside. Scott and I stood side by side in the warm water that made us feel weightless. Then I broke the silence: " Wow, the stars sure are pretty tonight". I said nervously". I wish I could see them!" Scott said joking about his lost contact". I'm sorry Scott I didn " tme an to" I said boldly".

I'm cold" Scott muttered. "But the water is warm", I said ditzy voice". I'm cold!" he said showing me the goose bumps on his tan, muscular arm". Well I still think it's strange because the water is warm". I said. I looked at Scott.

His tousled blond hair now almost brown in the dark and made him look very sexy. His eyes were like the ocean- I could see into them forever". Come closer to me. You " re warm!" he said.

I did as he asked. My heart was pounding with excitement. I sat on his knee while at the same time he put his arms around my waist with his finger tips ending at my bellybutton. I stared into his beautiful deep blue eyes and he stared into mine. A shock went through me. I was actually nervous.

I never got this way about anything. My stomach became a huge knot that rumbled back and forth. I relaxed when we held each other closer, like the world was coming to an end. Before I knew it his soft lucio us lips touched mine. Its was a dream come true. Fireworks went on in both of our minds.

I was in heaven. It was the most romantic kiss anyone could ever have on this earth. We both grinned from ear to ear. We looked at each other in awe. Together we made our way out of the water because it was close to room checks. It was a silent brisk walk back to the hotel.

We took the musty stairwell up to our rooms. We hugged each other when we got to the third floor. I had no idea what he was thinking but I was still in shock. He left me then.

I hopped from stair to stair happy as a clam all the way to the fifth floor. I didn't care if anyone saw me or not because for once a guy I liked, liked me back. I thought maybe I found the man, the man of my dreams. I walked down to the lobby after primping an hour for the big dance. There Scott stood, as handsome as ever, in his black Hawaiian shirt with orange and yellow hibiscus flowers with a dragon on the back.

I stood in my f usia colored scrappy dress that had little black intricate designs it. I stared at him. He didn't know just how cute he was. People started coming in behind me so Ihad to continue on down the stairs. "Hey, I'm going to call my mom right quick, want to come?" Scott asked.

"Sure", I said. Scott and I walked to the pay phone that was right across the street from the beach. Ididn't listen to a word he was saying the phone. I stared into the water and took a deep breath, taking in all of the beauty of Hawaii. With each wave more salt came into the air. The sun glistened on the waves.

With that one deep breath, every stress, any thing that was wrong in my life, was gone in a flash". Come on", Scott said". Alright", I murmured under my breath. He walked ahead of me, but I stopped and took one more look at this beautiful place.

I took a deep breath before running to catch up to with him. The music was blaring as Scott and I entered the dance room. It was packed with a variety of different people. Most were laughing and having a good time on the dance floor but some- like Scott and I-just sat and talked. We both looked at each other like we wanted to say something but we just let our eyes talk until I interrupted: " Can we dance later?" I asked kindly". Yeah, I promise". he said.

I secretly crossed my fingers behind my back praying that this would be the best day of my life". So what exactly is going on with us?" I asked inquisitively". Well... ". he started in a worried voice". I want to go out but we can't".

As soon as the words came out of his mouth everything in me dropped and tears came to my eyes. He could tell I was crushed and he was apologetic. I felt like crawling in a hole and dying. I told myself to hang on and not lose it completely in front of him. I tried to take a deep breath, to make everything happy again, but it didn't work". Why?" I said, trying to hold back the tears".

Time- I never come to Wichita. I've only been there two times and that was because of Lions band". Well, then why did you kiss me?" the words sputtered out of my mouth while I wiped away the tears from my eyes". I don't know, because I like you and I really thought it would work out. I didn't think.

I'm sorry I led you on, I really thought it would work", He said, sounding sad himself. As I looked down at my feet, a river of tears started to roll down my cheeks. It didn't matter what he said, nothing could keep me from crying. I had so much bottled up emotions of anger and sadness at both myself and Scott that filled my head. I knew Scott was being sincere about it, but I was so heartbroken. I couldn't help feeling the way I felt.

I didn't get why of all men, the man of my dreams, would say anything like that. I know he didn't want to hurt me bu the did". I'm going to the bathroom", I said to Scott abruptly. I walked to the bathroom and stopped to looked at my self in the mirror. The face that stared back at me had bloodshot eyes, ruined make-up, and tears still rolling down my face like someone had opened the flood gates of the Hoover Dam. I couldn't have ever been prepared for the next words I would over- hear: " Scott made that girl cry", Beth, the overweight, disrespectful girl said to Jamie.

A smile came upon Jamie's face. I turned around in utter disbelief and stared at the pair for a moment". Wipe that smile off your face!" I said in a hateful tone. They stood there saying nothing but looked at me like I was stupid. I proceeded to walk out of the room knowing that they were going to talk about me. I was telling myself", You " re fine, just suck it up and talk to him".

I returned to the hallway before entering the dance room. Scott was sitting there laughing and having a good time, as if what he told me, just five minuets before, had no effect on him. Was raging mad. I stood by a plant when Jamie came over and started talking to him. I ripped the plant's leaves off into a million pieces, just as he had done to my heart, while I was crying my eyes out.

This blond- haired girl came up and asked "What's the matter?" She too had tears in here yes". You see that boy over there in the Hawaiian shirt?" Yeah!? !" she said". Well, I found out that we can't go out". I said finishing my story. "I'm sorry", she said. We hugged each other which gave us comfort".

By the way, what's your name?" I asked". Trista". she answered promptly. While Trista and I were talking, Scott and Jamie walked by us going through the wood framed doors that led to the dance. I glared right through Scott like he was transparent. He proceeded to take Jamie out to the dance floor. At this point I was too angry to cry.

They started to dance to a slow Backstreet Boys song. Trista and I pulled two red cushioned chairs together and sat watching all the people start to dance together. Jamie and Scott danced right in front of me. They were not dancing close together though- I was surprised at that. Another slow song came on and I thought maybe, just maybe, he would have seen us walk in here and he would ask me to dance as he promised. Jamie and he kept dancing during the next slow song.

I thought to myself", Now that's pretty rude. Iknow he had to have seen me". By the end of the song Jamie was grinning ear to ear and glanced my direction. I got up out of the comfort of my chair and stopped Scott right in his tracks.

"We need to talk!" I told him as we walked over to the blank wall to my left. I felt bad because I left Trista there, sitting all alone. I started bawling again but I managed to say", You promised!" I still promise", he said, looking at me concerned". They always end dances with a slow song". he added. I made him pinkie swear.

Our pinkies met, his skin touched mine, and I didn't want to let go. I looked deep into his blue eyes. I could tell that he meant what he said". This is the last song". the DJ announced proudly". What?!? This is a fast song" Scott said".

I can't believe this", I said in tears. It seemed to me all odds were working against me that night. As we loaded the big yellow bus, Most kids were happy and jumping around, like monkeys, but I had my head hanging. We sat by each other in silence. I don't remember saying a word the rest of the night. When we arrived back at the hotel, I climbed off the bus.

I moved out of everyone's way and stood in silence staring at the place where Scott held me close and kissed me. I turned around and faced the steep incline that led to my room But I took one more quick glimpse at the romantic spot and took a deep breath. For one second I felt special, then I was back in reality. I proceeded to walk slowly to my room, not ever wanting to think of this mess again. To this day Scott still owes me a dance and I still owe him a contact. I will get a dance from him someday.

It doesn't matter when or how we get it done. We will hold each other close not knowing what will happen next. With stars in our eyes we would looking deep into each other. It would almost be like I could see my future unfold. I would just take one last deep breath and smile..
