I must take a break, I'm not some nerd to read day and night non stop. Anyways I'm in a park right now, going through some funny Memes on my phone, so hilarious. I should start thinking of creating such things, things that ease people's stress.
I feel two palms cover my eyes and.....
“knock knock”
“uhhh who's there”
“guess idiot”
“Bridget”
“ughhh you're no fun, dude you're meant to play along”
“sorry mate, but that little game of yours is kind of getting old” I said in a kind of British accent.
“boo hoo”
“where's Ricky?”
“somewhere around, getting some snack probably”
Bridget and Ricky are my childhood friends, like I've known them since I was five. We all live on the same street, Just a bit far apart, because believe me, our street is a really long one.
“well hello you, haven't seen you in along while.”
“yeah been busy like the rest of you, that's why I called that we meet here, I've missed my two best friends” I said genuinely.
“excuse me I just gotta remove something from my eye.” Bridget said removing some imaginary tear, with her hanky.
“but seriously that's the nicest thing I've heard from you, in a while” she said.
“mhmm I agree, we've all been too busy to even hang out with each other, our group chat is getting annoying, I prefer you two annoying asses, physically..... So I can throw insults easier without texting”
I and Bridget laughed at that. Ricky is a cool easy going kinda guy, but beware of his tantrums, and bluntness sometimes. Bridget, a little shy and reserved when you meet her for the first time, but she's a nice, sincere, and caring friend. And really is truthful. I love both my BFF.
“soon....what university or college is who going to?”. That came from Bridget. We're sitting on a wooden long armed chair, munching on Ricky's snack.
“ummm not sure yet though, I got two in mind, and I'm still checking them out”. Ricky said.
“what bout you Ivan?”
“to be sincere with you Bridge, I have no damn idea, of the course I want, talk less of a college or uni to study in”. I said.
“well that oughta be fixed, before the exams are over bro. If not you're just wasting your time”. Ricky said.
“gee thanks Ricky, that was soo helpful”. I said.
“he's right though......”. Bridget said.
I raised my brows, facing her in shock that she was following his lead.
“but let me put it in a nicer way. You have to make a choice, and real quick, because soon the exams will be here, it will come and go in a flash, well you might say you have some little time before the semester starts, but dude, time waits for no one”
I took all that deep inside of me and thought about it, screw this I'm not even serious about this.
“but anyways, we'll be here to help your sleepy mind”. Ricky said.
“thanks guys, I could also use your help in that, I'm lucky to have people like you”
“of course, if not, I'm not sure you should be alive now”. Ricky said, then Bridget gave him a smack in the head with a that's not helping look.
“ow but it's true”
“well I have a good college we could all go to, I just don't want us to be separated. So I got a college which will be easy for us all, in such a way that we could also be close to our families.”
“ ohhh that's a great idea, then when we go partying and having fun, and get drunk and do silly things, it will be easy for our parents to come get us....”
Ricky said sarcastically.
“well NOT”. He said.
“so what's wrong with that?” Bridget asked.
“grow up girl, it soon will be time for you to be independent and stop relying on family and crap”. Ricky said.
After that statement, Bridget was on the verge of slapping him, and real hard, so I butted in immediately.
“what Ricky is trying to say Bridge, is that we're grown ups now, so we will need some independent space from our very lovable family”
“ohh sounds..... Mature”. She said.
“exactly, soon we'll go from teenagers to liable youths”
“yeah yeah yeah OK with the pep talk already, can we proceed to the cinema now?” Ricky said.
“oh yeah, almost forgot, it's 11:54 now, our picked movie is starting 12:15 stat” Bridget said.
“so then let's move it” Ricky said.
So we got up from the chair and headed to the park exit.
“hold on, what movie are we watching exactly?” I asked.
“something they call, escape room” Bridget said.
“how is it?” Ricky asked.
“wellll......from the trailer I watched, it's kinda horror” Bridget said.
I raised my brows, wondering how the escape of a room could be horror.
“but very bloody, I tell you” she said.
“it's nothing isn't handle, except for some of us who decide to go to the bathroom in the middle of a horror movie, because they really had to” Ricky said, looking at my direction.
“seriously for the hundredth time I was not scared, OK?” I said.
“yeah right, we know”. He said.
“look Ivan it's OK to be afraid, Milan said that, and I totally agree with her”. Bridget said with her arms around my shoulder, in attempt to comfort me.
All I did was to raise one of my brows, and send her a questioning look.
“what? Never watched the part two of the animation?”. She said.
“whatever I don't care, go right ahead and think whatever you want to think. But I don't need to prove to you two, that I wasn't scared that day. I really did need to go.”
Ricky moved towards me with some remorse on his face, finally, he believes me. ughhh.
“you know what...”. He said patting my back.
“I believe you have a thousand more reasons, to chicken out out of a horror movie.”
Immediately my spirit fell, should have expected that, I mean it's Ricky after all. I just hate and like this dude.
“come on Ian, I'll hold your hand and see you through the damn movie.”. He said as we all exit the park.
Punk. I'm gonna prove myself in this movie you'll see.
“let's move it boys few more minutes to go”. Bridget said, leading us out.
OK here goes nothing.
