THE GIRL IN THE YELLOW SCARF As I walked towards her, I felt that something unthinkable was about to happen. That's it, that's the moment! I've been waiting for this to happen my whole life and now it’s finally the time! I couldn't be more nervous but excited at the same time. It all started a few years ago, I was in the college back then, and one day, while I was heading my way home in the subway, I found the prettiest girl I have ever seen. Her vibrant hair, shiny eyes, rosy cheeks and bright smile were insane. My jaw dropped by the tremendous beauty and I couldn't stop looking at her. It was a cold day, so she was wearing a trench coat, a yellow scarf, a black beanie and some gloves. A few stops later she got off the subway and our eyes met as she left, it was intense. After that, I looked at her seat and I saw the yellow scarf she was wearing. I grabbed it and got out the next stop thinking that I might find her, guess what... I didn't. I went home and all I kept thinking about that night was the subway girl, I even dreamed about her beautiful eyes and the amazing connection that we had. For the next year, I went every single day to the subway station in order to find the mysterious girl and give her scarf back. I never met her again, not until this very moment, not until now. It's been four years since I saw her in that subway but she's right on the other side of the street now, I can't believe this. She saw me too and smiles to me as she knows me. Then, she proceeds to wave and, as I walked towards her, I felt that something unthinkable was about to happen. Everything stopped at that moment for me, I could only focus on her and all she could focus was me as well, the pretty girl I saw on the subway years ago is now a beautiful woman. I handed her the yellow scarf and she smiled. From that moment on I felt complete, my life makes sense again. Carolina C.
