Greetings and salutations! Do you remember those once-in-a-blue-moon times when you and your friends have those awkward yet hilarious moments? Today I will be sharing one of those moments that occurred a few weeks ago.
Despite it being summer, my mornings never really stray from the routine path. It consisted of: waking up, eating breakfast, cleaning up, and lounging around waiting for something to happen. I’ve kept contact with my closest circle of friends throughout this entire summer, and some of us figured that it would be a nice day to go out and have some fun. The temperature lingered somewhere in the high 80’s that day.
So for the sake of their privacy my friends will have their own code-names. There was Connie; a stylish and talkative girl with a love for dancing. Tyra; an attitudinal black girl who is never ashamed of what she says or does. Justin; an obnoxious and occasionally dim-witted individual….and then there was ‘him’.
Regardless if you’re male or female, there’s always that one person that makes you smile without trying or laugh when they haven’t said or done anything funny. This person is the cream to my sugar and the wind underneath my feathers; although, I may be exaggerating a little. He will be code-named Brendan; we became very close friends on the very first day of high school. Since then we’ve had our typical ups and downs, with a hint or two of teenage drama.
Connie, who constantly thinks of herself as the leader, decided we should go hang out for the day; maybe go to a movie then have some fun around the city, within limits of course. We all pretty much gave in without any hesitation; mainly on the count that summer had been disgustingly dull. Our group, if you haven’t noticed, is bewilderingly well-balanced; we have the stylish and snobby one (Connie), the tough yet elegant one (Tyra), the stupid and risk-taking one (Justin), the happy-go-lucky and random one (Me), and the cool yet competitive one (Brendan).
So we ventured out to see the movie; we all agreed on seeing ‘The Expendables 2’. The movie, in my opinion, is one of the best action-movies I’ve ever seen. We were all enjoying it until Justin decided to make a move on Connie…again. Everyone in the group wishes they’d just get together already, but love can be so blind sometimes. Tyra, Brendan and I sat there for half the movie, crying and laughing as we spied on Justin trying to act all mature and manly towards Connie. Then out of nowhere an explosion in the movie sends Justin, popcorn in hand, flying out of his seat. Popcorn begins to rain over all five of us and we can’t stop laughing; however, the crowd around us are staring evilly, and I don’t blame them. Eventually, we had to leave to keep ourselves from being kicked out. (Officially one of the funniest action-movies I’ve been to after that event.)
After that, we went to McDonald’s and ate nearly three meals each; I can’t explain why we felt like we had three stomachs, but it was funny non the less. Still laughing at Justin, and teasing Connie about the whole fiasco, we went our separate ways.
There were a few other chapters to this story, but the blog was growing fifty more feet for every word I typed on here. Next time I might just share the fun experiences I had with Brendan that day. Until next time, and thanks for reading! Ciao!
