The funny thing about NYC

So i ran into my friend today, who with a gigantic smile on his face said he needed to tell me about his latest card giveaway. He was on the train and across from him was this girl that just had this incredible smile, he said it literally melted him in place. So he decided that he needed to give her a card. But she was with a friend, and the train was crowded and he didnt know how to go about and do this, and said he felt very reminiscent of what i felt in my last failure. He couldn't gather up the nerve and it didnt happen.

Well here is the funny thing about NY. In a city of millions, it is still surprising how you still manage to run into people you don't think you will run into.

He had left the train, feeling like shit, and gone to school. As he was walking down 13th st, he all of a sudden sees that the same girl is walking with her friend down 13th st as well. He was a bit shocked and couldn't quite get his head together at the moment. He notices that her friend and her go into this tiny little sandwich shop right by our school and they go upstairs to eat.


He stands there blankly staring at the sandwich shop and the strange way the wind blows in NYC. He walks up to the lady that is behind the register and asks her "Did you see the girl that was in the striped shirt that went upstairs just now?" The lady says yes, with a perplexed look on her face. And my friend hands the lady behind the register the card and asks her if she could please hand that to her when she comes down to pay.

The lady looks at the card, turning it over back and forth and also with a gigantic smile looks up and says "Yeah, i can definitely do that"

Hopefully, the girl will receive the card with utter shock, not knowing who it was that gave it to her and will smile again.

Looks like many people smiled from this today.
