*Our World *

I was heading to my car after a long day of work at the history museum, where I intern to earn college credits to get my Archaeology degree. Once I achieve this the curator of the museum has already promised to hire me. He's even gone as far as to compliment me, by saying that with how bright and enthusiastic I am; I may even win myself a teaching job in my field in two years or so. That's very quick for someone my age. So here I am lost in these happy thoughts..........

"Hey, Beck!" I heard Kyle's voice call out my name.

"What?" I asked with a laugh in my voice twirling around toward him.

" You down for coming with me, tonight?"

"I don't know, Kyle."

Kyle is one of my dearest friends; I'd do just about anything for him, I've known him since second grade, and he's also gay so him and I going out has never been an issue. Kyle has lately thought that I work too much. Probably more accurate than I'd care to admit and for the past two months he's been bugging me to join him for a night out. I've been putting him off as long as I possibly can, but I've got a feeling that I may have to go this time. I'm hoping I can come up with a good excuse. I'm not a real big fan of drinking too much and I shake my booty enough as it is at my part-time job.

"Awww, come on Beck! You've been putting me off for the past two months. I want you to come out with the gang and me. You can't tell me you don't need to cut loose honey, I know you."

"Look Kyle, I know you mean well, but I don't think going out and drinking too much is going to help me relax, besides you know what I do to pay my extra bills."

Beck, "we haven't partied together in ages. Besides, I'll be with you the entire time in case any creepers decide to hit on you."

"Okay! Kyle, but only on the condition that I get to grab a few things first."

"Awesome! No problem Beck, whatever you want; you'll see this will be great!"

I squirreled home, put on a change of clothes, and packed my designer zebra print laptop bag with; my laptop, my IPad, my Blackberry, my iPod touch + headphones, the chargers to all this junk, a carton of cigarettes + two extra refillable lighters, and my external hard drive with cord. I'm not sure why I wanted all this crap, but I did. So, I packed it along with my purse and all its contents.

I met up with Kyle in my driveway, I guess he was worried I'd ditch at the last moment if allowed to use my car. If I'd thought I could have gotten away with it I would've.

Kyle eyed my bag and raised an eyebrow at me, he then asked, "Sure ya don't wanna take the kitchen sink ta tie yourself down as well, Beck? Why do I have a feeling you are going to try and ditch me, find some secluded spot, and work?"

Guilty!

We met up with Kyle's friends at Thatcher's Field, which is just a big empty field. In the Spring and Summer, it's covered with flowers and weeds; there are heath blossoms too, but the county has been trying to get those cleared.

I don't think they will ever manage it though, what with the petition and all.

Thatcher's Field is set to be a historical landmark.

See at one time Thatcher's Field was the site where Ezra Thatcher, his wife Winifred, and their three boys used to live. Ezra Thatcher was the founding citizen of Black Falls, the town, I live in.
