I’m going to do a normal post now.
Hi.
This will be me, doing a normal post.
Today in the cafeteria at break, I was buying a muffin.
OKAY OKAY. It was during my math class.
But it was almost break.
So I’m buying this muffin, because I enjoy muffins, and it’s just me and the Korean cafeteria lady who is so sweet, and always smiles really brightly like this: =D
And please don’t roll your eyes and walk away now, because I’m not done.
I’m also buying a cookie for my good pal, Oksy. So I take out four dollars, and purchase.
-a muffin: $1.25, and
-a cookie for Oksy: $1.00
And the nice cafeteria lady smiles at me for a long time.
=D
And I say, “Here!” bright and cheerily, and smile back and slide the coins across to her.
And says, quite out of the blue, “You are very beautiful!”
And I say, “Oh! Thanks!”, surprised. And she just seems so GENUINE and sweet. It was such a great moment, and it gave me confidence because I didn’t think I looked all that great that day.
And she never has called any other kid beautiful; not that I’ve seen, anyhow.
So it inspired me.
The moment was cut a bit short by her giving me 75 cents back and me wondering: “Do I tell her? Do I tell her? I need a DOLLAR seventy-five not just—
Oh screw it. She’s nice, and she did something out of the pure goodness of her heart by complimenting me and she’s so sweet and I shouldn’t make her feel bad or anything.”
That’s what I think. And I walk back to math class.
What’s a dollar, anyway.
