A PERFECT DAY WITH A BEST FRIEND!     
  by Jessica Boyer     
 
It was a bright sunny day.
I got all dressed up pretty and waited at the bus stop.
I got on tri-met number nineteen.
It took me downtown where I caught a number nine.
I didn't look at the houses along the way or the trees.

I looked at my face in my compact mirror and put my makeup on,
then a couple of sprays of "Tommy Girl" cologne.

I heard footsteps coming onto the bus but I didn't look up. 
Until I heard His voice.

He was sitting with friends across the aisle from me.

He didn't see me until I got off.
We didn't speak until we go inside the building.
I sat in a circle with friends.
Then he came in and sat next to me and said,
" What is that enchanting fragrance you're wearing?"
" Thank you for asking," I said,and winked.
Then we held hands and talked together.
I cannot tell his name, but it was a perfect day with a best friend.
And that is the end of this story.
