A free ride
I felt awkward sitting away from all my friends. But I wasn't really in the mood of talking anyway. The young boy sitting next to me wasn't easy to talk to. In fact, I found him irritated coz he tried to act "cool". I was barely holding the conversation with him. Thus, I was quite happy when this man came in late and took the empty seat in front of me. He must be about 10 years older than me.
Ppl seemed to enjoy themselves very much. A lot of socialising conversation were around tables. I would normally take the initiative to meet new ppl, but just not tonight. The man in front of me seemed to feel the same, so we both took passive attitudes and only talked to ppl who came to us. We didn't talk to each other much, so I hesitated a lot when he offered me a ride home. Somehow, I decided to trust human. Using myself as an experiment is quite brave, I thought. I guess I trusted the orgnisation so much that I believed anyone who was used to involve has good perspective of life. It was a gamble.
He opened the car door for me first?! THAT's NEW!! And he gently closed it like it's normal. Good old slovak gentleman!!! Oh, well, he is half slovak-Hungarian. I miss the way how slovak men treat their ladies!! We talked a lot more on the way home and he has such interesting life story!! Working for the UN in New York headquater, doing research on U.S. politic and now still involving in UN orgnisation voluntarily when doing a full time job for the council!!
