Strangers in The Rain

Woke up into a dark,gloomy rainy day. For strange reason the bed became extra comfortable than usual. There I was, lying and reflecting on the strange dream I just had. About my boyfriend getting pregnant with our baby girl. Wish I can know what that dream means. 8.30 a.m. Too bad I have to get up. Gonna have appointment with my new Spanish tutor in downtown. Though I would like to just stay at home I have to brave myself through the rain.

To cut the story short..I finally reached the designated meeting place...all soaked and wet. Looking around for a guy with shaved head. A number of them passed by, but none look like a legible tutor. Except for one guy, about mid 20s, dressed in black hoody, with Monster in his hand and a back pack. So I tried to make eye contact and smile a little to him. Hoping that he would come and say " So are you Darlene? I am your Spanish tutor Chris". Ten minutes pass but nothing happened. " That is ok," I told myself, " I am 20 minutes earlier perhaps Chris is not here yet".

11:15. That's it I am just going to ask random strangers with shaved head. Either that or write CHRIS on a big card. First target: guy with black hoody. He had been standing here for a good half and hour too so he might be Chris.

Me: Hi I am sorry. Is there by any chance you are Chris?
Guy: No I am not * smiling*. Are on a blind date or something?
Me: Oh no, I am just waiting for my Spanish tutor
Guy: I see. Too bad I dont speak Spanish.
Me: Yeah sorry for asking you but I guess I have to ask all guys with shaved head now. That's how my tutor described himself
Guy: Oh you mean like mine? * lift his cap
Me: Something like yours I guess.
Guy: For a while I thought I was lucky because finally a girl smile at me. And you look really cute too.
Me: Well sorry again about that, really I thought you were my tutor.
Guy: So...what's your name? Why are you learning Spanish?
Me: I am Darlene. Well I always go to Mexico so I thought of learning their language. I am learning German too.
Guy: Oh my family is German, but I dont really know how to speak the language...

So the conversation went on...we talked about ourselves. About schools. About hobbies. About life. We joke at times. Occasionally he asked some guys with shaved head who passed by if they are Chris. Finally...

Guy: You know you are really an interesting person. Hmm...can we hang out sometimes?
Me: *baffled,nearly speechless* Well... I dont know, I am a very busy person. I have assignemnts, class and dancing most part of the time. Honestly I am a nerd
Guy: But you dont look like one. But well I agree, we are all nerd in the inside.

Silence...
A bunch of guy walking towards us.

Guy: My friend they are coming , but...really you dont want to hang out with me ?
Me: Hmm no.... I dont think so.
Guy: Hmm...well ok then. It's nice meeting you. Enjoy your Spanish lesson. Hope to meet you again soon.
Me: Nice to meet you too and thanks...

So two strangers parted, back to their own life... while the song " If We Ever Meet Again" by Katty Perry played in the air. The End.
