My First Love

It was summer, early morning. I ran out into the station. The 9.30 train was about to leave. As I ran along the platform I saw a girl just ahead of me. She was young-about my age. I followed her into a carriage and sat down opposite her. She took out a magazine and was reading. I also took out a book and pretended to do the same. After a minute I looked up  and smiled at her. She didn’t smile back but gave me an encouraging look. We returned to the reading but this time she was pretending too.
I found her attractive and wanted to see her again, but how to arrange it? ...I had an idea. I took an old envelope out of my pocket and wrote the following words: Hello ! my number is 081855***** and my name is Harry. I would very much like to see you again. Ring me at eight.
The train arrived at the terminal. Without looking at the girl, I handed her the envelope, or rather threw it at her, and jumped off the train.
            When I got home I made myself a cup of tea and wondered ... perhaps she was one of those natural friendly people who smile at everybody. I was watching the television when the phone rang...it was only Ezek. Eight o’clock arrived, then 8.30 –and no telephone call from the girl. Feeling miserable and disappointed I went to bed early.
It was a foggy morning. “Hello, is that Harry. You gave me ..... checking the time, it was fifteen minutes past eight.
Many people believed in love at first sight but I didn’t until it happened to me, it was a day I will hardly forget.
