true story.

three years ago today was a special day.

i was working as a cashier at best buy on a saturday night, the last day of spring break. i was tired, there was an hour left before we closed and i was ready to go home. a few guys come up to the cashier spot, one comes to me, the other three go to my friend. i looked at him and he looked really familiar... and he was extremely attractive.
let's back up real quick and let me paint you a picture of how i looked.
a few days before i had gone snowboarding and got scorched (bless me and my red hair and fair skin). seriously, it was bad. one of the worst sunburns i've ever had. so now my nose was still really red and peeling. boo. on top of that, when i got to work the gave me an oversized geek squad t shirt to wear (and tuck into my khakis. i hate khakis.) which i was like whatever. plus i was still an awkward highschooler with braces. cool.
now back to this guy. i looked at him and thought wow you are really hot and you look really familiar. he put a bag of trail mix on the counter and pulled out a fifty from his wallet. i guess i looked at him like, seriously? the total is $3.56. because he said sorry. i was like whatever, you're hot. as i was getting his change he got a phone call and i looked over at his friends. they looked familiar too...

then it hit me.

i hadn't been able to recognize him because his hair was different. i really hadn't seen him for a year. when i saw him he looked like this:

and now he looked like this:

except hotter. more like this:

as i looked at corbin bleu's hair and i heard 'zeke' talk and remembered that they were filming high school musical 2 in st george and i looked back at the beauty in front of me, my heart stopped. what should i do? should i ask him for a picture? no i look like crap. should i ask him to sign a piece of paper? no that's lame. by the time i was done thinking i had given him his change and he was over by his posse. i decided to just soak it in, steal [long] glances, and hope he remembers me as the girl who didn't freak out [outwardly] when she saw him.

yes. i sold zac efron trail mix on st. patrick's day.
