On the path to my nearest convenience store, I saw a group of drunk friends, they seemed so lively, enjoying their youth. Living life with their loved ones, spending time with them, and having fun with them. I suddenly got so jealous of them. I couldn't help but appreciate the beautiful scene, good thing I came out of that silent room. Another boy across the street was looking at them with the same look of appreciation in his eyes. As the group continued walking on their way, I stared at them smiling. And from the corner of my eyes, I saw the boy crossing the road too. I kept looking at him, as at 3 am of the night, you shouldn't trust anybody, ANYBODY. 

soon the guy crossed the road and stood right beside me, I knew it, my instincts had become true. As I was getting ready to kick the guy hard in his balls, he calmly said-
'Hey.'
I decided to hear him out first, maintaining my safety I took a few steps back. I replied to him happily like he was no stranger to me at all-
'Hi! I don't think I know you. Can I help you anyhow though?'
'Yeah of course you don't know me, I don't either. I just-'
These bastards, when they see any beautiful girl they can't control themselves. Piece of shit. But I didn't let my thoughts show on my face. I heard what he had to say maintaining the bright smile on my face. He continued-
'I just noticed how brightly you looked at the group of friends passing by, I wanted to say how wholesome it was, really appreciate it.'
Knew it, this guy falls into the category of those 'pieces of shit'. Flirting with just any girl at 3 A.M hoping to get into her pants. Again hiding my frustration towards this guy, I continued with what he said-
'Oh yeah, thanks.' saying that I bowed and smiled very brightly at him and started walking towards the store. Good riddance. This guy was such a pain in the butt. I was so happy watching that friend group this guy ruined everything. Holy shit. As I thanked god for saving me from him he suddenly called me out, AGAIN. Fuck him.
'excuse me.'
'Yes?' I turned behind to face him, he was standing much closer to me than our last interaction, and I noticed this guy is pretty tall.
'I think our destination is the same, wanna chat a bit?'
'I am sorry but how do you know where am I headed to?' I said maintaining my 'girly-girl' image. That guy didn't answer and looked at the convenience store I was standing in front of right now. I don't know how good or bad this guy is but as he smiled looking at the store I couldn't help but notice how he had such an attractive smile. I couldn't help but smile genuinely at him. Then very movie likely a snowflake fell on his olive skin. The first snow of the year feels warm rather than cold, I don't know if it is just my heart craving warmth or the company I have.
