Okay, no one sent me emails so if this part is sucky, I’m sorry I didn’t have any idea of what would happen next. So, here it is!
RECAP: When I turned, I saw someone I didn’t expect to see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh look, It’s Drew.” I said, grinning.
Angela looked at me, eyes popping out of their sockets. “You know him?! We just saw him and your telling me you know him?!”
“Yeah, he lives in my community. I know him because I was sitting by that lake and he was there. Drew sat nexted to me and we talked… kinda. Then, I had to live, you know how my mom is, and he offered to walk me home.” I said as though it was no big deal. Though, Angela must have thought it was a huge deal because I swear I saw her mouth drop.
“Fine, you probably think it’s no big deal anyway.” she said, standing up. “Alright, lets go.”
I wondered why she was getting up. I liked sitting down, drinking coffee, and not having to carry all those shopping bags.
“Where are we going?” I asked.
“Ah, Andy. Sweet, sweet Andy. We, as in you and me, are going to go over there and say hello! Duh!” exclaimed Angela with an obvious tone of voice.
“Whatever. Let’s go.” my monotone voice escaped as I spoke. I grabbed the shopping bags from the floor and I also took my coffee.
Angela and I walked over to Drew and his friends. They were laughing and enjoying their Sunday.
“Hey, Drew. How’s it going?” I said looking at him with smile.
“Oh, hey Andy. It’s going good just hanging out with friends.” Drew replied also with a smile.
His friends gave him a look. Like an “Are you going to introduce us to your friend?” kinda look. I couldn’t help but crack a smile.
“Well, since you here, I might as well introduce you to my friends. This is Aaron, Bryan, Landon, Cole, and Curtis.” he explained, pointing them out. “And guys, this is Andy.” Drew said.
“Hey Andy.” they said in unison.
“Hey, it’s nice to meet you guys. This is my best friend, Angela.” I said.
Then, after the introductions, we sat and talked about random things.
