Finding Holly

When walking up to my place with two friends of mine after a night out, a girl was standing in front of my complex intently texting someone. Being the silly nerd I am, as I walked up to her I said, "Who are you texting?" I assumed my awkward joke would get a mean look in return. Instead, the girl immediately looked up at me and ever-so innocently and wide-eyed replied, "Holly," almost as if it was a question. As if she was asking me if it's okay.

Her response was so sweet and unnecessary that I have laughed every time I remember it. If I ever see you on the street, I'll reenact it for you. And if you are that girl, I think you should forget Holly and we should be friends.
