Listen up ladies because this a lesson on shooting your shot–and scoring. 

A Michael B. Jordan fan, Sylvia Wilson slid into the actors DMs after she noticed he was on her Temple University campus shooting Creed 2 in Philadelphia.

The teen simply asked for a smoothie in exchange for a photo together and his answer “almost made her pass out.”

“I didn’t think he’d actually respond but I really wanted to meet him,” the 21-year-old told Huffington Post. “I almost passed out when I realized he messaged me back. I kept rereading the message not believing it was really him.”

Wilson admitted that she was fangirling super hard before actually meeting the actor (obvi) but said that the 31-year-old was nothing but nice. 

“He was so sweet and nice,” she shared with Buzzfeed. “He was more than happy to take pictures with me and my friends that came with me!”

If we weren’t so happy for Sylvia successfully shooting her shot, we’d be jealous! Go ‘head, sis!
