  4. I can remember the first time I ever saw Sarah. There I was at Camp Robinswold, dropped off like a sack of potatoes at this circle of cabins out in the country. Trying to cover my stomach rumbling nervousness with cool detachment, I saw this girl with long, wavy, blond hair glimmering in the sun & she caught my eye. As I stared in awe, my aloofness being replaced by pure hormonal curiosity, her soft, blue eyes met my chocolate ones. That was all the prompting I needed. When the counselors told us to sit in a circle on the cold, hard, earthen floor, I managed to park it right next to the sensational Sarah, thinking to myself that maybe I should write my parents tonight and tell them camp might not be so bad after all.
