So I'm on the train on my way to work and it's the average quiet scene. People listening to music, reading books, getting little naps, etc.
When all of a sudden at some stop get on a young couple. They don't have on any bookbags, ok. Last day of school is Thursday, Regents exams are over, and it's graduation season. No biggie.
A couple stops later, I notice them again. A slim darks skinned dude and his light skinned "thick for her age and almost 99% guaranteed sloppy in a decade" chick. He has his hands up, gesturing and speaking. I notice something shining on his hand.
His left hand, ring finger to be more precise.
A ring.
There's nothing else on his left hand.
He gestures some more and there's nothing on his right hand either .
I am dumbfounded and a million thoughts run through my head.
I figure I might as well ask this kid a question on my way out when my stop approaches.
..."Hey dude, is that a wedding ring on your finger?"
... "Yup."
... "How old are you then?"
... "We're both 18."
... I say no more.
They start holding hands and I see a ring on her left hand as well.
I couldn't say or ask anything more. I was in shock.
