My Early-Morning Adventure

Here is what happened this morning:

I got to my bus stop and sat down to wait for the bus. 

A man got off a different bus and sat down on the bench next to me.

He was very close.

He was smiling way too much.

He said hello.

I thought OH NO.

I said hi.

He said what’s your name?

I told him my first name.

He told me his first name.

He said you’re beautiful!!!

I said thank you.

He said you smell good!!!

I said thank you.

He said can I get your phone number?

I said no.

He said oh, cause I thought I could get your phone number.

I said no thank you.

He said you wanna t-shirt?

He showed me his plastic bag full of t-shirts.

I said no thank you.

He said you work down here?

I said mmhmm.

He said you work over there?

He pointed to the American Apparel across the street.

I said no.

He said you’re beautiful!!!

I said thank you.

He said are you Cinderella?

I said no.

He said are you Snow White?

I said no.

We sat in miserable silence for a million years.

He said what bus you waiting for?

I said it doesn’t matter.

He said nah, it doesn’t matter.

My bus came and I fled.

The end.
