## Original description

Hi, I'm Nate and I'm 20 years old. I was at the train station one day, and I had to meet my parents, who were coming home from out of state. It was almost 20 minutes before the train arrived, so I just started surfing Instagram. Suddenly, someone bumped into me from behind and almost knocked me down. At the same moment, I felt a lightness in my back pocket. My wallet! I looked back and saw a gypsy boy running toward the exit. He stole my money! I immediately ran after him, and the chase began. The boy was agile, and easily skipped through the crowd of people, but I did not lag behind. Then he turned into a small alley and disappeared from sight. When I followed him, I saw a boy pass my wallet to some girl. She must have been an accomplice. They were at a dead end and had nowhere to run. I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just needed my wallet back. So I started the conversation calmly.

But when this girl turned to me I just froze in a daze. She was so beautiful! I'm telling you! Her appearance... It was unusual, unique. Her eyes were dark as a black hole. And I felt that they could absorb or even destroy me. This girl started talking to me and trying to calm me down. I could barely understand her because she spoke with a very unusual accent. Suddenly, I noticed that she was moving slowly toward the emergency exit door in the building. She wanted to run away from me, and as soon as I yelled for her to stop, the girl and the boy jumped through that door and slammed it in my face.

Oh, man, it took me a long time to explain to my parents why I had a huge bruise on my face when I met them. But it didn't bother me much. Even my wallet didn't really worry me. There was only a couple of dollars and a driver's license in there, so I didn't feel bad about losing it. Most of all, I couldn't stop thinking about that girl. She was probably the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. You might think this is crazy, but I definitely wanted to see her again. For several days, I thought about her constantly. Oh, I had totally developed a crush on her !

I only had one chance to find her - and that was to wait for her and her little accomplice to show up at the train station again. I went there every day and just sat there for a few hours. But I didn't see them again. I was so bummed, and I thought that I would never see this beautiful girl again, but one day as I was leaving the station, I heard a scream. A woman's purse was stolen, and then I saw that gypsy boy running out into the street. I followed him and tried not to let him see me. He turned into the same alley, and I finally got a chance to talk to this girl again.

I knew that she would be able to escape through that door again, so I blocked the path, and began to speak. I tried to convince her that I wasn't going to call the police, and that I didn't need my wallet back. But this girl was very scared, and she shouted something in a language I didn't know. A second later, two huge dudes came around the corner and started talking to the girl. I didn't understand a word of their conversation, but I immediately tried to justify myself, and said that I just wanted to meet her. In response, these guys just laughed and ordered me never to come here again.

I left, but I couldn't accept defeat. I didn't want to hurt her, and they should have known that! Then I decided to show my intentions in another way. I went to the nearest flower shop and bought a small bouquet of roses. This should have made it clear that the purpose of my conversation was romantic. I went back to that alley and approached this gypsy group again. Oh, the conversation was very awkward. I tried to explain my intentions in clear words, and they just laughed and teased me. But I still got my way. They realized that I wasn't afraid of them and I earned their respect. One of the guys said something to the girl, and she came up to me and took the flowers. At that moment, I realized that it was a victory!

She said we could go for a little walk together. Oh, I was crazy with happiness! We sat in the park for almost two hours. This girl's name was Eish, and she was very nice. Of course, she was always laughing at my awkwardness, and it was also difficult for me to understand her because she had a very strong accent. But overall, these two hours were the best of my life. I asked how I could find her again. Was I supposed to come to this alley at a certain time? But she laughed hard again and said I was crazy. I could just text her and she gave me her number. I came home the happiest person in the world because Eish agreed to date me!

I really enjoyed every time we met and fell in love with her more and more. But the closer I got to know her, the more facts about her life came out that just shocked me...
