Read the Signs!

Some times funny shit happens in the most common place unfunny situations..most of these times its very subtle and hardly noticeable.
I have this habit of observing people and stuff. The small details? Get it. Ill probably notice that one of the screws on the seat panel is screwed in crooked.You get the idea! so anyway, i catch stuff you probably missed.
The other day i was waiting for the bus and there were a whole bunch of people with me.Nothing out of the ordinary.Happens every day.

The bus comes we get on.My stop comes and I get off.
Now along with me a few other people get off too.
Among these people are 1 Indian girl and 1 Indian guy (the story is set here in Gainesville).Now i had randomly noticed them from before.They had gotten on the bus right behind each other but had chosen separate seats.they had gotten off thru separate bus doors, like plausible strangers.
But as soon as they got of the bus the girl caught up with the guy.and was walking side by side with him.I was trying to guess.
1st i thought strangers! (happening to walk in the same direction)
2nd i thought ok friends!! shes walking with him!
I was watching her steps.she had to make an effort to keep up with him.but she kept a low profile nonchalant conversation with him as if all were normal.
A few seconds into her trot she leaned toward the guy, their shoulders touching.
the dude leaned imperceptibly and unconsciously away.she pulled back (probably in disappointment) and kept matching his pace their arms slack by their side.


Thats when i noticed her arm muscle clench and unclench. the palm of her hand open toward him.SHE WANTED HIM TO HOLD HER HAND!!!!
that so fuckin cracked me up.This poor sap had ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NO IDEA that the girl liked him.....!!!
Her arm unconsciously looked around for his as he reached for something in his jacket pocket.
her arm shook in frustration and she pulled it back up and crossed her arms in front of her.

In retrospect i don't believe even the girl knew she wanted him to hold her hand.
the whole scene must have lasted about 5 seconds.
Good day!
