Coke Assignment

This week in class, our teacher asked us to buy a stranger a coke and then to record on our blogs what our experiences were. I decided it would be most interesting to not explain to the stranger why I was buying them a coke. I was going to refrain from explaining it was an assignment from my mcom teacher. I was simply going to say I was buying them a coke only because I wasted to.

Here's how it went:

I was at 7-11 getting my typical end of the day doughnut. It was around 11 pm so there weren't many others in the store at the time. There was one guy towards the back fridge that was pondering which beverage to purchase. He looked like he was going for an energy drink. I was hesitant. Energy drinks are almost 4 times more expensive than a typical coke. Also, I'm not too accustomed to approaching random dudes in convince stores. I had to work up the courage to go up to him for a considerable time. When I finally did, go up to him, here's how our conversation went:

Me: "Hey man."
Him "Hey."
Me: " Know what you're going to get?"
Him "Yeah I think I'm going to go with the monster…"
Me. "Monster is pretty tight"
Him "yeah I like to drink it."
Me; "Would it be cool if I bought your drink for you?"
Him: "Really? Why?"
Me: "Just cause I want to"
Him: " That's weird."
Me: "I know but I just really want to buy a drink for you. I feel like doing something nice."
HIm "OK. I won't say no to a free drink."

and that's how it went. we never exchanged names, where we are froms or even what we are studyings. We talked for about 67 seconds and ended in me buying his Monster and a casual handshake to end the night.
He was pretty cute though… I should've gotten his number.
