Herow everybody how's it goin,. I'm having a hard time coming up with stories.. Eep! Well this is what I got mwahahaha teehee

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its pretty busy in NYC if you couldn't have guessed. Riding the subway can be pretty terrifying. Sometimes. Oh by the way my name is Hope Griffin world famous intern! Haha just kidding. Got to say though working at pretty much one of the top graphic design companies in the USA at only the age of 17 ha some say its impossible. But, alas, it is not.

I step onto the train and take hold of the rail mounted on the ceiling. The train starts jerking forward slowly building up the speed as we go along. Only 10 blocks away I probably could have taken a cab but this is probably about ten minutes faster. Curse you New York traffic!

A man with a large and very stylish (surprisingly) satchel walks up the train bumping into a little girl and bumping her into her mother. The woman's says something that I can't make out over the noise of the train it sounds like, "hey! Watch where your going you could have hurt my baby!" I think he mutters a sorry but I'm not sure. I realize who the woman and child are they're the Motezeegas from a few floors down from my brother and me in our apartment building. I think about saying something to the guy but he's already to the next car. I send them a mental sorry. Mrs. Montezeega looks my way I smile, she frowns and looks away well then hmf.

That's when I see it. A ray of light reflects off of whatever it is and hits my eyes. I squint bend over and pick up the mysterious object. A flash drive , probably useless, some college presentation or something. I'm not the only one that sees it though a hand rests on top of mine. I look up I see a pair of dark hazel eyes. I hear the doors open behind me, snatch the flash drive an go.

"Hey! Hey! You there pink under armor!"

Ugh I totally forgot. I just had to wear bright colors today didn't I ugh!

Suddenly I feel someone grip my arm I'm a gonner. I turn around and there he is, hazel eyes. "What do you want" I say.

He responds almost instantly "The drive."

"Why it's not yours I watched the guy drop it"

" Well it's not yours either, who are you anyway" he responds

"I'm Hope and actually that was my friends dad and I'm going over to there house who are your?" Obviously a lie. I can tell he sees right through it.

"Pffft sure the one you referred to that guy'. Oh yeah the name. Well that the one and only Zachery Andersen"

"Im just gonna throw a wild guess out there and say theres more than one 'Zachary Andersen'in the world we live in.Ha well okay Zachary do you mind letting me go?"

"Oh a yeah sorry bout that and you an call me Zach" he lets go realizing he was still griping my arm.

"Haha thanks" I reach down and grab my arm "Well isn't this awkward"

"Isn't it well so do you wanna grab a coffee sometime" he asked. A very casual pick up line for most New Yorkers. Well it worked. And it worked for my brother so it runs in my family I guess.

"Actually I was headed to the Caribou a block down to meet a friend, you can tag along if you want" I said

"I'd love it" he said linked arms with me and pulled me up the stairs as I giggled.

"Ha considering we were practically strangers a minute ago this is strange"

"Well, we're all a little strange you know"

We walked a block before coming to the Caribou debating the whole way about who would win a fight if a ninja and a pirate were fighting each other as dinosaur chicken nuggets cheered them on. This guy is obviously a MLIAer. One of my favorite apps on my phone.

I shot a quick text to Tim who we were meeting at Caribou "met a friend on the subway today be on your best behavior ;) love Hope"

Almost instantly I got a text back saying "ma'am yes ma'am"

What are best friends for!
