Lucky day
Last week, I felt a little under the weather because I wanted to go to a rock concert but it was raining cats and dogs and I do not have a car. Besides, I got wind of one of my favorite singers quit the band just one day before the gig. So, that was really disappointing.
It was funny that I have been saving up for a rainy day, but I could not use it that time. However, I thought that the concert might have been postponed to another day because of the bad weather conditions. But, I knew it was just a rainbow chase.
I was on the verge of tears when suddenly a friend called me, I told him my situation, and then he said, "it is just a storm in a teacup." So I decided to go out with him for a cup of coffee, come rain or shine. When we arrived at the cafe I thought I had my head in the clouds because I was looking at the rock band, just there.
I immediately ran to them like a crazy person, but when I had them in front of me I didn't know what to say. They were looking at me very confused, then my friend broke the ice by saying "hey guys you left her speechless" and we all laughed. They invited us to sit at the same table, and I was on cloud nine.
