Commute to School

Nick walked out of his dorm building and turned onto 97th street. It was a cool day out, some wind in the air. He made his way from 3rd avenue to Lexington and entered the 6 train subway station. He was delighted to see that there was only a 3 minute wait for the next train. When the train approached a gust of wind came with it. Unfortunately there were no open seats on the train so Nick an his roommate had to stand. To their surprise, after 4 stops two seats opened up and the boys were able to sit down. As the train approached the 28th street stop Nick rose from his seat. The doors opened and he made a dash for the exit. When he reached the top of the steps the cool breeze of the outside air hit his face. Nick then walked over from Park to Lexington. Walking down 28th street there was a ton of constructing going on. The sounds of power tools and heavy lifting filled the air. H wondered what they could be building. As he left the construction zone and walked toward 27th street there was a familiar smell in the air. It was the smell that Nick loved most on his daily commute to school. The smell of fresh baked bread at subway filled his nostrils and made him crave a sandwich right then and there. He made eye contact with the Subway cashier as he slowed down to take in the wonderful aroma. Jeffery wondered why the strange boy had almost come to a full stop in front of his store but before he could question it the boy was gone. As he rounded the corner of 25th street ad entered the plaza he saw the vertical campus tower before him. Nick had made it to school on time and with the thought of Subway in his mind.
