*Present day*
"Wow, can it you believe it's been 8 months since we started dating? Feels like it was yesterday afternoon?" I ask my girlfriend Margot Robbie. Yes, the same Margot Robbie who is one of the biggest rising stars in Hollywood hot off the heels of her massive blockbuster hit "Suicide Squad."
"I know right?!" She replies back with a huge smile on her face and wearing a cute yellow summer dress to accommodate the sunny sky and her beautiful blonde hair, which she changed into a bob-cut for her one of her many upcoming projects.
"Remember the first time we actually met?" She asks me.
"Totally. You were an exchange student from Australia and you came here to the States. I was the first person that befriended you and yeah, I kinda had a crush on you. Then everybody befriended you once you joined the cheer squad and forgot about me." I playfully teased her as I wrapped my waist around her.
"Oh I agree with everything but that last part. I didn't forget about you at all!" She retorts as she wraps her arms around my neck.
"Hm. How did it happen again?" I asked.
"Seriously??! YOU KNOW THIS BETTER THAN I DO TONY!"
"Hmmmm..." As I pretend to ponder how we met, she playfully taps my head 5 times.
"Hello Tony you there?!" Margot giggles.
Now onto how it really happened......
*10 Years prior*
William Smithy High School. Sophomore year. It was the third class period of the day and it was one of the few classes, if the one class I genuinely enjoyed going to and that was Media Arts/Electronic Journalism. A class of creating media such as TV and film, something I was and still am passionate about. One day, a new student had arrived to the school and it was an exchange student.
I had assumed it was another exchange student coming from China as we've had 3 in just a month but to my surprise it was a student from Australia! AND A GIRL.
"Students, this is Margot." The teacher Mr. Laurence pronounced as Margot is standing there with a timid smile on her face and I was immediately infatuated. At the time, my teenage hormones were acting up and I cared all about her body but in hindsight, I loved the way her hair looked that day (blonde segment pigtails) and what she was wearing. She was wearing glasses (like me) and had a black tank-top of The Smiths (so obviously she had terrific taste in music) along with dark indigo jeans and black knee high boots. And those steel blue eyes. Oh my.
Today was the day we would start conducting our own videos on camera and I was nervous as to who I would get paired up with as there's was a strong chance I would get paired up with someone I don't really know, which, granted was about maybe 6 people already in the class minus Margot. Actually, I was hoping I would be paired with Margot but I thought those chances were nil to slim. Then the teacher started reading off the pairs.
"Jenny with Hector. Alejandra with Jody. Ezekiel with Jorge. Oh and Margot, you can be paired with Tony over there at the table by the exit."
Boom. My anxiety went from 1 to 11 in a second as the the pen cap I was moving up and down to amuse myself waiting for class to start went halfway across the room. I kept my cool as she walked towards me.
"Hi. Margot right?" I broke the ice first.
"Yeah." Margot says shyly.
I immediately grabbed the video camera, set up the tripod, and hit record.
"Ok look I'm....gonna be honest with you. I'm not a talkative person. What say you?"
"Honestly, I kinda am." She replied in her cute little voice.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, I was on the cheerleading team all throughout middle school and started during my Freshman year of high school in my native Australia. but obviously, me mum and dad suggested we come to America. I was dreading it at first but I gotta I'm loving it!" She became really talkative, contrary to how she was when she entered the classroom.
"That's nice to hear. How long have you been in America?" I asked.
"Three months but I haven't made any friends outside of my neighbors, who are really nice." She replied while putting down her backpack.
"How is Australia?"
"Oh I love it.
"Since you're coming to this school, I assume you would close to it. Where is your street address if that's not a rude question?"
"2545 E Henry Rd." She replied to my slight delight.
"Really? I live on 2538 E Henry Rd!"
"Nice!" She joyfully yelled as we both highfived each other.
"Oh Margot you seem to have fit in just fine." Mr. Laurence came by and proclaimed.
"Yes sir I think I made a new mate today." Margot said as she smiled.
As the teacher walked away, I asked her "What other classes do you have?"
"Hm. Let's see." She says as she pulls out her schedule. "I have English for first period, Science for 2nd, obviously this class for third, next I have lunch, then AP math, Economics, and finally World History.
"Oh so we have 3 classes together. Right on. This, Economics, and World History." I say with a grin.
"Awesome." She replies. "Hey weren't supposed to be doing an interview or somethin'?"
"Eh as long as you're at least 70% on task, you'll pass. This is the probably the easiest course to pass at this school." I say with a chuckle to which Margot simply smiled.
"Say Margot you wanna hangout during lunch?" I offer.
"Sure but I kinda wanna look around the school too. Wanna grab some snacks by the vending machine?"
"Way ahead of you." I replied as me and her began walking around the school with our snacks and talking more. Then an idea came to my head:
"Hey you've been a cheerleader since middle school right?"
"Yeah why?" She replied.
"The cheer squad were accepting new recruits last week and all the slots have been taken but I think I can convince them to offer them one more spot." I said with a slight wink.
"Oh really? You'd do that for me??!" Margot exclaimed with joy.
"For you? No for me!" I added playfully as we both laughed. I was never like this around my closest friends but something about Margot really brought something out of me. We just sort of......Hit it off. Because of my teenage hormones, I'd assumed we were falling in love but we'll get there eventually.
As we entered the office, I asked Ms. Cruz, who is running the cheer squad, and after some convincing and Margot showing off skills (barefoot of course), she was in much to her delight.
"Well that went in about as good as I expected." I sarcastically quipped as Margot hugged tightly and whispered "Thank you." I barely met this girl less than an hour ago and already I found a new best friend. I somewhat awkwardly returned the hug as it was so sudden.
We carried on to the rest of our classes for the day and Margot befriended a lot of more people, including some of my friends. We then walked to the gates of the school as the school day was done.
"It's been great meeting you Margot. Really." Margot smiles back. "I've met some pretty cool people and I'm on the cheerleading team. All because of you. Thank you Tony." She gives me a light hug and places her left hand to her lips and presses said hand to my cheek, causing me to smile.
"So....have a ride picking you up too?"
"Yeah my older brother Cameron. Mum and dad are at work but should be home within the next 2 hours. They work at the hospital. You?"
"My mom should....Speak of the devil." My mom pulls up and me and Margot depart. But not without complimenting Margot on her tank-top. "Oh forgot. Love your tank-top!" Which even though the van had driven off from the school, it was impossible to not notice Margot's gorgeous wide smile from the distance. For the first time in maybe forever, I was looking forward to coming to school.
