When I was 15, I was busy loading up my college application with tons of academic competitions. I noticed this one boy, Leo, at every single one. I developed a little crush on him, due to the fact that he looked exactly like Paul McCartney, my favorite Beatle. One day at a certain competition, I was listening to my iPod to the song “She Loves You” by the Beatles, and I didn’t realize I was humming along to it. Next thing I knew, he was sitting across from me and smiling. He waited until I turned off my music and asked “Who loves you?” I laughed and we started talking and he asked me if I wanted to go to a showing of “A Hard Day’s Night” at a local theater. It was a successful date, and we started seeing each other more and more often. Now, even though we compete in at least three various local competitions, we have been dating for 7 months and are completely in love at this point. And I will always have the Bealtles to thank for my first great love.
