The love story all began on June 21st 2004. I had met Justin through my cousin, Amanda. I was currently in a long distance relationship with a guy named, Brian that was just not working out. Amanda and her friend Hailee were having a summer party at my parents house. I came to the party and saw this cute guy across he room. I instantly wanted to know who this guy was. The next day I went to Amanda and described what the guy I had seen looked like. She was having a hard time thinking of who this mystery guy might be. Saying tall, dark, and handsome was a very hard description was a very broad description. She said, "Oh!!! That's Justin!" I asked her if he has an aol screen name. ( that was the way us hip teenagers communicated.) She said he did and that night I messaged him. We began this long chatting conversation and set a date to meet. Amanda, her friend Nicole, and I all went to the local mall and we were going to meet Justin. I was so nervous for this night and I had changed my clothes about a dozen times.I will never forget the moment of walking into the third street promenade and feeling like I was going to throw up. I was soooo nervous! This was the guy I had seen and had been talking to for months!! We started walking and I knew we were supposed to meet in the foods court. We got there and I see this guy walking towards Amanda. I thought it was someone who Amanda knew from school. She was very popular so It had to be a friend from school. I knew I was wrong when I heard Amanda say, "Justin this is Katherine." I died! This was not the guy I had seen at the party!!!!!!!!! I could not panic. I had to breathe. What was I supposed to say your not the guy and run. No I could not do that! I insisted that we see a movie. Dark theatre, sound... perfect! We would not have to talk that way but Amanda insisted we went to eat. So to sum this up....We ate. I ignored Justin. He starred at me like I was a tall glass of ice water and he had been in a desert for 7 months and had only been able to brink buckets of sand. IT WAS AWKWARD! I left that night and told Amanda he was not the guy and I never wanted to see him again.! That night he messaged me and we started talking yet again. I found myself talking to him every day and no matter how much I tried not I wanted to see him again. We met and had lunch. The butterflies paid my stomach a visit yet again that day. He was so sweet and kind and polite and treated me like a queen. (That was something I had not had much of from guys.) No matter what I did and how hard I tried to prevent it I fell in love with Justin James. I know people have a lot to say about the fact that he was 15 and I was 18. But I will tell you this. Love is not prejudice. It does not care if someone is 3 years younger, older, black, white or purple. Love is LOVE and I feel head over heels in love with Justin James.........
