How I met her

The cute meet for the main character.

I was 6 when I first saw her.

My mom and I were on a walk in the local park when a Frisbee hits my head out of nowhere. I'm dazed at first and my mom is checking me over for injuries. Suddenly this cute girl runs up apologizing, asking if I'm ok or not. I think to myself,

“She's soooooo prettyyy”

Come to find out, this was not in my head. I had said it out loud, completely embarrassing myself in front of the cutest girl I had ever seen. My mom starts laughing and the pretty girl is giggling. I think it's the most beautiful sound on the planet. At this point her own mom is coming over to check up on me too and I'm surrounded by people. But all I can seem to look at is her Raven hair and amber eyes. I'm trapped in them like a car taking a wrong turn into a Hidden Paradise. I vaguely hear my mom say,

“She may have a concussion. She seems pretty out of it.”

But I'm not paying attention to my mom at all. I'm only looking at the girl that may have given me a head wound. Mom keeps messing with my hair looking injuries when the girl finally speaks.

“She's fine, but she seems to be having what some would call, a gay panic attack.”

Her voice is that of an angel my jaw has dropped to the floor. Both of our parents laugh as mine finally determines that I'm not wounded. The mystery girl speaks again,

“ if you're okay, then I'd like to take you for some ice cream. It would be an apology for hitting you in the head with the frisbee.”

I can barely squeak out the word please before my mom starts being the best wing woman on the planet getting me a “date” with the pretty girl. And as we start walking towards the ice cream shop she grabs my hand.

“My name is Kahlan, by the way. Kahlan Williams.”

Lovely beginning! It really draws me into the story and the characters, even though I just met them.
