Another typical Monday, sitting at my favorite coffee shop, Joe's, finishing a paper for class. I was sipping on my skinny vanilla latte when a girl, about 19 years old, walks up to me and asks to use my computer to activate her phone. I was really confused about the situation, but I agreed to let her use my computer anyway. She thanked me extensively and offered me money, but I refused to take any type of payment. I just wanted to be a nice person because it makes me feel really awesome. We got to talking a little bit and asked me what I was doing at Joe's. I explained I go to do my homework after class everyday. To be polite I returned the question. "I just got out of jail a few hours ago and I'm here for an AA meeting." I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that because I'd never asked someone that question and gotten that response. So my reply was "Oh cool." We talked for a little longer when all of a sudden she asked if I did drugs. I was also caught off guard by this question. I told her I didn't and she got really excited and asked if we could hang out sometime. Again, confused as to what was going on I replied "Yeah! Totally.Sounds awesome." Apparently, she's quite the trouble maker and needs to hang out with people who will be a good influence on her and, since I look like such a good kid, she wanted to hang out with me. So she got my number and said she would text me sometime.
I'm really quite astounded with the situations I get myself into. The most random stuff happens to me. She hasn't text me yet, but I hope she does and I'll be able to get to know her better. She looks like she really needs help. I like helping people a lot. I'll be praying for her. Maybe I can be a good influence on her and get her back on track with life. Life is so interesting.
