Elizabeth

First impressions always matter my mother would always say and I try to live by that but some people can be very annoying so it's hard to keep a good impression with these people. It wasn't always rosy with this particular friend, in fact, it was what you would call hate at first night. I met this friend at an open concert for upcoming musicians to share their music for free to anybody who had the patience to listen.

It was awesome, I knew people there would be interested in music, my kind of people. It was fun until this particular human being comes to sit in front of me, blocking my view of the stage when she could have easily sat by my side or at least far away from me. She wasn't particularly tall but the bunny hat she wore was, that thing was huge. I tapped on her shoulder gently asking her if she could just move to the sit beside her to which she completely ignored.

I tapped her again hoping she didn't hear me the first time. She answered this time and told me to move instead. I'm not one to usually let things go but I wasn't in the mood. I moved. Everything went back to normal, some very talented people came up. A friend came to sit beside her and I overheard her telling the friend how much of an asshole I was to which I ignored. She proceeded to the stage to sing a live cover of Labrinth's Jealous. I admit she had an incredible voice but our encounter didn't allow me appreciate it at the time.

Everything finish with people feeling happy. I go over to my friend, one of the people that organized the event and guess who he was talking to, yeah, bunny hat girl, they were friends. I go over there and he introduces her as Elizabeth, A friend name for a demon I thought. They met in church and he hyped me about my voice, something we boys do to life other boys.

She was extremely calm this time. I said my goodbyes and walked away hoping to never bump into her again. I get a text later that night from my friend, the one who organized the event telling me he's adding me to a group so I can help organize the next one and Elizabeth is there. She sends me a dm apologizing for our first encounter, I ignore it but I save her number. About a week later, she posts something on her whatsapp status about James Arthur, my favorite artist at that time to which I respond. We get talking and it turned out we loved almost the same artists and it just started from there.

From texting almost everyday to meeting up for karaoke. She was my music soul mate, she is my music soul mate. She always knows the right songs to send for whatever I'm feeling. I'm really glad I met her that night and if I could go back in time to change how we first met, I wouldn't change it for anything.
