P18. I’m decked out like a full-on metalhead—chains dangling, wristbands stacked, torn-up jeans, hair spiked to the heavens, combat boots stomping, and a t-shirt screaming my favorite band’s name. So, I’m riding the subway today, blasting my killer tunes through my headphones, when I notice this cute chick sitting across from me. As usual, I’m lost in my own damn world, ignoring everything and everyone, just vibing. I get up to hop off at my stop, and outta nowhere, I catch a hand waving at me from the right. I turn my head, and there she is—this girl, holding out her phone with a note open on the screen. I squint to read it, and holy shit, it says, “You look insanely cool.”

Man, I turned redder than a devil’s ass, completely flustered! Now I’m kicking myself for being such a dumbass and missing the chance to chat her up.
