Personal Narrative: Ten Block's Story

10 Block Story

As the Christmas season is getting closer, the anxiety of what you’re getting for presents is growing bigger. I mean, who doesn’t want to know what they’re getting.

Now that I’m looking on the other side of the vendor as her I was just about to take a peek into her bags as someone taps me on the shoulder. It’s Abbie! “Hey Abbie fancy meeting you here!”

“Same, I do have one question though”

“Sure ask away,” I reply starting to get a little nervous.
