Searching for Moore
ALT POV/Book 1, Chapter 3
Mia's version of their first meeting
Mia's version of their first meeting
Mia Silver stopped and looked at the campus map in her
hand. If the university chapel was on
her left, then she needed to keep going straight to find Brewster Hall and get
to the next freshman orientation session.
This next session had freshmen reuniting with their parents, and looking
at her watch, Mia realized she had
better get a move on it.
Buzzing with excitement, as she made her way across campus, Mia was enthralled at how foreign and
different everything seemed, adding a heightened sense of adventure. From the Spanish mission-style architecture to
the alluring, majestic mountain range
that appeared like a painted backdrop to campus, her new bucolic southern
California home was about as far from the frenzied energy of New York City streets
as one could get. Mia keenly took it all
in. Not a single detail escaped her as she rushed across campus.
The one thing in this brand new and foreign environment that
struck her as being completely odd - and was totally unexpected - was the clothing of her fellow female
classmates. They were all in dresses.
Mia didn't own a dress. She didn't think
any of the girls she went to high school with back in New York City owned
dresses either. A dress was definitely not on her radar screen when she shopped
for her college wardrobe and now she was literally the only co-ed in the
freshman class not wearing a dress.
What was that about?,
she wondered.
And then there were the dresses themselves - did these California
girls know nothing of fashion?
Sheesh. Pastel gingham
maxi-dresses tied with matching satin sashes.
Seriously? Did somebody raid a prop shop? It was like a tripped out version of The Wizard of Oz.
She saw her parents up ahead talking with some people and
quickened her pace up the walkway to what she assumed was Brewster Hall. Her father was talking to a very attractive,
tall couple. They were both blonde and had
classic WASP good looks - definitely part of the country club set, Mia thought.
The man was in khakis, a blue blazer,
and a white Izod golf shirt, the woman wore a pale blue linen shift dress cut
with classic lines. Her mom appeared to
be totally engrossed in a conversation with a tall blonde guy. His back was to her, but she couldn't help
but notice his broad shoulders and long legs.
"There's Mia," her dad announced, as he spied her
coming up the path toward them.
Everyone turned to her,
including the guy talking with her mom.
A small gasp escaped her throat and she hoped that she was far enough
away that it was inaudible to them.
Even from a distance, she could tell that his translucent eyes
were the color of the sky on a clear spring day, and they were smiling at her,
although his lips were only curled into a half smile, as if he were more perplexed
than happy.
Mia thought that she'd never seen a guy so perfect looking and
so damn handsome - New York boys didn't look like this - not even at the top
prep schools. If she could create the
perfect California boy - this was him, standing before her. Tall, blonde, blue-eyed, muscular, tan. Most
eighteen year old guys were not sexy.
This guy was sexy and she couldn't tell if he totally knew it or was if
he totally oblivious to it.
The smile on her face continued to grow as she neared him and she
hated that she couldn't control it. She
wanted to appear cool and aloof and her damn smile seemed to have a mind of its
own. As she approached, his smile began
to mirror hers and match the smile that was already in his eyes.
Inexplicably, Mia felt like she was looking at her best friend,
yet this beautiful boy was a complete stranger.
Why did it feel like she knew him forever and like they could run wild
together? She could almost see their
laughter, somewhere out of reach, as if
hanging on the edge of a distant dream.
Mia knew in that instant, that this was what people meant when they
talked about déjà vu. Was there something
about him or was it because he was so gorgeous?, she wondered.
"Hey," it was out of her mouth before she could even
think. So much for acting cool and aloof,
she self-chastised.
"Hey," he was smiling back at her, head slightly
cocked to the side as if he was still trying to figure something out.
Their eyes met, just for an instant, his narrowing, as if he
were asking her a question. She wasn't
sure what the question was. But she was
sure her answer was, "ok, let's."
The response in his eyes was odd, like he wanted to say, "Yeah,
let's," but Mia wasn't sure he knew how and she just wanted to tell him,
"trust me."
"Honey, meet Mr. and Mrs. Moore and Schooner," her dad offered.
Schooner? Maybe they
weren't country club people. Maybe they were yacht club people. Clearly, someone was a boat lover. Schooner
... what an odd and interesting name, she thought. But it fit him - this tall blonde god. It was actually perfect for him. Of course
he'd be named Schooner. He could actually
pull off the name Schooner.
Hell,
looking like that, he could pull off anything he wants,
thought Mia, including my pants, shirt, and bra. In that instant, Mia also knew, that a guy
like Schooner Moore would only ever see her as a buddy and that she was clearly
imagining whatever it was she thought happened when their eyes first met. But then, what was that ...

From a 1980's Southern California college campus and a devastating first love to present day New York City, Searching for Moore explores how technology has eradicated the divide between our past and our present, and asks whether you would give up everything to reconnect with The One in a single keystroke?

I must've been 5 or 6 when I started
writing "stories". I would
write them and hide them. Not wanting anyone to see my "secret"
thoughts. I needed to write -even back then.
Now I'm just not hiding them anymore.
Is that a sign of maturity? Nah
....
Writer, photographer, insatiable
wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal
lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and avid cusser (am a
Native New Yorker, so very little offends me ... and if I am offended, it must
be pretty freaking bad .. like bad grammar!).
I am big believer in signs and if we
keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be
true. Be you.
Life is not a dress rehearsal ...
