Wren

We all know the drill, I'm sure of it. You're on the tram, or the train carriage, whatever. It's public transport, and the chairs are positioned in a way that you're bound to be looking at someone, or that someone is looking at you.
So there you are, puffed out from running such a distance just to catch the bloody thing on time and you get on the carriage, catching your breath. When you calm down a bit, you do that usual observation. Then low-and-behold. You see him ,or has he seen you first? There's something that you guys share in common. You don't know what it is but you can feel it there. So for the long trip home you both take turns. When he looks away you study him a bit, when his head turns, you look away, averting your eyes-as if you never dared to look in the first place. But you can feel them. His eyes, studying you. Almost eerie in a sense.

What drew me to this guy? I really don't know. Was he really drawn to me as well? Not sure either. I mean, he probably looked at me thinking 'Why is this girl staring at me?!' But he got a bonus tick in my book when I heard Trivium's 'Ignition' come from his ring tone. Then my friend texted me. My message tone is 'Plug in baby' by Muse, so when my phone went off the guy looked up. Our eyes met then quickly looked away, as if we had been caught doing something illegal. Later onwards, I heard him hum the chorus of plug in baby. Haha, it was bliss.
It's an awesome feeling when things like that happen. You make a friend without realising you have. You've met a person who could have potentially become your best friend if only you ever had the chance.

Until then.

  1. Always the way, huh? I've got a good train story of similar thread too. Maybe I'll share it some time.
