(500) days of Mackenzie: UNTITLED.

Narrator

The following is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.

This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie 'The Graduate'. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parent's marriage she'd only love two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and not feel a thing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story.

UNTITLED.

I was never that girl that everyone liked, and I absolutely did not like everyone. Sure, I put up with them, but that didn't mean I liked them. I never had a fairytale prince, but I dreamed about them every night. I read love stories and watched people fall in love in movies to escape my pitiful reality. Even for that short moment, because that one moment was magical. I truly believed with a passion, true love did exist. However, it wasn't something handed to you; you had to work hard to achieve what you desired. True love was out there, I knew that. I knew, too, that my prince was searching for me, and I, like every other girl in this world, was searching for him. The truth of the matter is, this prince, who makes everything so perfect, so everlasting, is not as east to come by as implied in all those pretty little love songs. So I, with every single woman behind me, was on the search for everlasting love.
