Friday afternoon. the weather was not bad, it was windy and it was cold, but it wasn't that bad. My friends and I decided to go to IKEA for shopping, we thought that we needed some things to make our room at CCA comfortable. We took the 164 to Kent Station. As soon as we arrived at Kent station, we had to wait for another 15 minutes til the 153 bus arrive. While we were waiting, something interesing happened. We saw this drug dealer, (or drug user, whichever one is it, we didn't really care) got busted by police, it was a sweet view, it was one of those events that you can only see on TV, the only difference was, you weren't watching any TV, it was a live event. So we actually didn't realize that there was a drug dealer there until we saw a sherrif car pulled over and parked right at the bus' lane, and when we turn around and looked to our backs, and there he was, with handcuffs on, and a policeman frisking him, that's when we realize that he was a drug dealer. So Danny took a video using his cell phone, so we can show our friends what happened. The 153 arrived and a second later, we were on our way to IKEA.
We were all excited. It was 3 o'clock when we stepped our feet in IKEA and started to look around for some things that we might need to make our apartments comfortable"We live on campus and we spend almost all of our times in the rooms, therefore, we must make our room the most comfy place on earth" said Danny, my most expressive friend.
We searched, compared, picked, and finally came to the end of our day in IKEA, when we reached the cashier, i looked at my wrist watch, and the tiny numbers on it indcated that it was around 6:30, we hurried up and payed and hoped that there's still gonna be enough time to reach the bus stop, because we knew (or at least we thought we knew) the last bus leaves at 7 o'clock. When we finished paying, i took another look at my watch again and it indicates that it's 7, we know that we missed our bus, but the crazy thing was, instead of looking for a different bus or call taxi or something, we just sat and start to order hot dogs, since it was very cheap. And then after we ate we marched outside and found that there were no more buses left, so we decided to ask some people, Nadira asked some people and then told us that we need to walk to Home Depot and take the 150 to kent station, and then take whatever bus at Kent station that goes to Auburn station or straight to GRCC, So we started to walk. we walk and walk and walk and we didn't see any home depot, So we decided to ask some more people. This time it was danny's turn, He asked a clerk at some gas station, but the clerk didn't know anything so he started to ask some customers, and they said the exact same thing-that we need to walk to home depot and take 150. We were not sure, so we decided that we need to ask some more people. This time, it was my turn, i started to ask some guy who was just pulling out of the parking lot, he explained how to get the kent station by car, he knew nothing about buses. I asked a guy at Subway and he gave me the same thing the other people gave danny and Nadira, so we decided to keep walking. We walked and walked, under the bridge, and kept walking, we walk for roughly a mile, and then there it was, the big orange sign that says HOME DEPOT, and a blue painted rusty bus stop thing standing right across the street from it. It was like finding our pot of gold, we were happy, i could see a frown on Citra's face suddenly fade away and turned into a smile, not a very big one,but still a smile.
So we rode the 150 to the kent station, and when we arrived at kent station, our intersting day wasn't over just yet. Somebody came up to us and offered us Weed, i mean it was so odd, cause he was trying to sell us weed as if he was trying to sell something good, i bet he didn't know that earlier that day a guy just got busted probably for doing what he did.
