Common Interest
Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know after you’re going to get. My name is Jin. In the year of 2012, I moved in the United States. Rosemead Adult School was my first school, like most immigrant students, I was interested in almost everything in this country and everything we did was new and different. Although we came from different counties and cities, we have shared common interest-American girls.
In the first day of school, I met a guy. His name is Kai. He is from China and the same state with me. Before I wanted to know him because his English is better than mine. So I sit down on the seat behind the guy. Two weeks passed, Kai had found a park and he had asked me to play basketball. After class we went to the park and while we were playing, someone came and asked us to play a game.While playing, I knew their names and we were in same school also we talked about the interest thing about girls. Sometimes I think what boys talk about is funny. Because conversations are always about girls, who are the most beautiful in the class, how many girlfriends you have had, and what kind of girls are the sexiest. As for me, sometimes I still avoid those answers, But I listened because they were interesting.
One day, after a usual basketball game, we went to eat and they never stopped talking about girls on the way. When we arrived at the restaurant, Kai saw two girls coming in and sit next to our table. At once, the conversation transferred to the two girls.I think the girls were not Chinese but were the same age as us. Maybe they were high school students. They look cute. That was all in my mind. Suddenly, one of friends named is Holu said whoever can get their number he would pay for his meal. Kai said to me, “Hey Jin you go”. “No” I said. “Okay. I’ll go” said Kai. He got up and started talking to the two girls. He used the not fluent English said “I lost my phone could I borrow your phone.” The girls looked at him and they seem do not want to lend. As for us, we laughed and could not stop.
In the end, Kai has got her phone number and Holu treated us that day. As of now, some friends were gone. But when boys get gather, we are still talking about girls.
