I used to work at a burrito joint on campus, and one time I had a morning shift. I would hardcore judge these people for coming to get a burrito at ten in the morning.

One morning, this really cute, really happy-looking guy walked in at around 10:01, literally a minute after we opened.

"Am I the first one?" he asked, smiling wide.

I, being the sour, annoyed employee at a burrito joint who was up way too early, replied rather coldly, "Yes." Sure, he was cute, but I wasn't working to flirt with people, and people weren't here to flirt with me.

That didn't seem to really faze him, though, and he continued his conversation, telling me which toppings and meat he wanted in his burrito. 

"How's your morning going?" he asked as we went down the tray of toppings. 

Taken aback by this sudden inquisition, I smiled and replied, "Oh, it's okay. What about you?"

He grinned. "Great. I just finished my last lab of the quarter for this killer bio class, and this is my reward." I laughed. He was kind of adorable. 

He watched me wrap the burrito and one of my coworkers came out to ring him up at the cash register. He was still the only one there.

"Like a pro," he said, smiling at me as I handed the burrito. "Have a good day!"

As he walked away, he threw both his hands up in the air triumphantly. It looked like he was on top of the world. I'd never met someone so excited about finishing a lab or getting a burrito.

Whoever you are, you're adorable and I hope I see you around campus again this fall. Sweet thing, you are so kind.
