I didn't have much luck with girls in high school. I remember a few really awkward dates. I was a nerdy kid. I like math, science, and reading. At my school, those definitely weren't the popular things to do.
A few weeks ago, I was having some coffee with friends when I saw this beautiful girl across the coffee shop. She was engrossed in her iPhone. I imagined her texting her boyfriend. Then she noticed me and smiled.
She noticed I was staring, I was sure. I got embarrassed, and tried to play it off. My friend Josh saw what happened and tried to get me to talk to her, but I just started sweating. I wanted to leave, but he talked me down. So we just kept hanging out.
It might seem a little rude or stalkerish, but I took a picture of her with my iPhone. I got in line at the teller, and while she was looking out the window, I pretended to be fiddling with my phone. The picture was really nice. There was nice lighting that really made her look angelic.
On the way home on the bus, I was feeling very inspired to create something. She was just so beautiful, I couldn't keep her out of my mind. I wanted to do something that would show how pretty she was to me, sitting there next to the window. I opened up this new app I had bought called Comic Genie.
Comic Genie is a neat little app that puts talk bubbles in any picture. It's like in a comic strip. I had downloaded it, but I hadn't gotten a chance to use it. Now was the perfect opportunity! I opened up the picture from my library so I could make it into a nice comic.
At first, all I could look at was her beautiful face haloed by a ray of sun coming in through the window. What a great picture! After staring at it for a while (she really was beautiful!), I noticed that there was something sitting in the corner of the window. It was a little bird, like a baby pigeon, that had come to perch on the windowsill outside. From the angle of the picture, it looked like the bird was looking right at the girl.
Then it hit me! I double-tapped to add a talk bubble. Then I typed a corny message into the bubble: "I wish I could sit with you, pretty bird." I was in a corny, lovey mood. Sue me. It might have been simple, but the fateful events that followed still amaze me!
I take lots of pictures with my iPhone. That's basically the reason I got Comic Genie. I like expressing my creativity. I wanted to add something personal to my photos, so when I shared them with friends, it's like I made them.
When I got home, like I usually do, I synced my iPhone with my computer and got all the photos off. I then uploaded everything to Facebook, which I guess is a habit of mine. I was still distracted by her, I guess. I mean, who uploads pictures of people they don't even know to Facebook?
I checked my email the next day, and found that I had a friend request. I opened it up, and was startled to see that it was from the pretty girl I had seen yesterday. How could she find me? She said "This comic is so sweet! Did I see you at the coffee shop yesterday?"
Really, I was confused. How did she find me? I started thinking of all the possibilities, then I remembered that I uploaded my photos to Facebook. I took a deep breath. I check out her profile, and saw that we did have a friend in common. It was Alex, who kind of knows everybody. He had recognized her in the comic and tagged her face. She was notified and there you go!
I cautiously clicked "accept" on the friend request. She must have been online, because she messaged me seconds after I clicked. Not to drag on too long, but she liked taking photos so she was cool with what I had done (what a relief!), wanted to get together, and thought I was good looking. We met again at the coffee shop and I showed her how I made to comic on Comic Genie. She bought it, too, and we spent the afternoon taking photos and making comics. What a wonderful day!
So that's how I met Julie, he prettiest girl in the world!
