Is there something wrong with my code? It's not working the way it's supposed to.

Here is the Controller.java

  Controller.java {
  package sample.sup;

import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.scene.control.TextField;

public class Controller {

    @FXML private TextField firstName;

    public void handleSaySup(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        System.out.printf("Sup %s %n!", firstName.getText());
    }
}
}

here is Main.java

Main.java{
package sample.sup;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.Stage;
import javafx.stage.Stage;


public class Main extends Application {

    @Override
    public  void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
       Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml/sample.fxml"));
        /*Group root = new Group();
        Text txt = new Text("Sup");
        txt.setFont(new Font("Bernard MT Condensed", 80));
        Label  label = new Label("Name:");
        TextField nameFld = new TextField();
        GridPane grid = new GridPane();
        grid.add(label, 0, 0);
        grid.add(nameFld, 1, 0);
        grid.setHgap(20);
        Button btn = new Button();
        grid.add(btn, 1, 1);
        //grid.setGridLinesVisible(true);
        btn.setText("Say Sup");
        btn.setOnAction(evt -> System.out.printf("Sup %s!%n",
               nameFld.getText()));
        txt.setY(50);
        VBox box = new VBox();
        box.getChildren().addAll(txt, grid);
        root.getChildren().add(box);*/
        primaryStage.setTitle("Sup");
        primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 275));
        primaryStage.show();

    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args); }
}
}

Here is sample.css

sample.css{
.title {
    -fx-font-size: 80px;
    -fx-fill: AQUA

}
}

And lastly sample.fxml

  sample.fxml{
  <?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TextField?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.Text?>
<GridPane fx:controller="sample.sup.Controller"
          stylesheets="/css/sample.css"
          xmlns:fx="http//javafx.com/fxml"
    style="-fx-font-family: Bernard MT Condensed; -fx-alignment: center; -fx-hgap: 10; -fx-vgap: 10"

    <Text text="Sup"
          styleClass="title"
          GridPane.rowIndex="0"
          GridPane.columnSpan="2"
          GridPane.halignment="CENTER"/>

    <Label text="First Name:"
            GridPane.rowIndex="1"
            GridPane.columnSpan="0"/>

     <TextField fx:id="firstName"
          GridPane.columnIndex="1"
          GridPane.rowIndex="1"/>

    <Button text="Say Sup!"
            onAction="#handleSaySup"
        GridPane.rowIndex="2"
        GridPane.columnIndex="1"
        GridPane.halignment="RIGHT"
    />

</GridPane>
}
