It was almost afternoon. I was in school, it was lunchtime. Students were crowded in the halls. Some were going to buy lunch, and some were eating their lunch. I was just walking around. I was going to go to the cafeteria to buy some lunch. It was lasagna, my favourite. Although, I think I make better lasagna. I was walking towards the cafeteria by myself, when I pass a guy. He's looking at me weird. I have no idea why he would be because I don't even know him. He comes closer and says, "Nice sweater." Thinking it was a compliment, I said, "Thanks." I looked at his sweater, and then mine, and realized that we are wearing the same sweater. How humiliating. I hate when that happens. I remember buying that sweater. I was out with friends and we were at the mall. We were with a couple of girls and they wanted to go shopping, so we went along. I saw this sweater, and to me, it wasn't something I usually buy, but my friends all loved that sweater. They told me to buy it. At first, I was set on not buying it because I didn't like it that much, but my friends convinced me that I should buy it so I did. They kept telling me how it looked so good, and everyone's wearing it, so it was a good purchase. They told me it was the new "trend" and I'd be fitting in with the crowd. After the incidence at school, I will not let my friends convince me to buy a sweater I don't like, just because it's the new "trend." That is the last time I will follow a trend. Being original is the way to go.
