It was just another day at our Brownstone dorm. We were all getting ready to watch a movie in the living room when I noticed that one of us was missing. It was Atlanta, to be exact, who was missing from our movie time.
Herry: Ah, man! We can't have our movie without popcorn! Could someone get some from the kitchen?
Everyone else but me called out...
Jay, Theresa, Odie and Neil: NOT IT!
I may have failed to get out of catering to Herry's hunger for popcorn during our de-stress movie, but I had been too busy thinking about Atlanta missing out on it.
Herry: Looks like you're the man, Arch. The man who's gonna get the popcorn for this movie.
Yours Truly: Huh?! What?!
Neil: I believe Herry said that you're the man, Archie. Pay attention, will ya?
Yours Truly: I-I'm the man? Yeah, yeah! I am the man. If only someone could just tell me how exactly I fit into even being the man.
Odie: Neil means that you're the man who's gotta get Herry some popcorn to snack on while watching the movie.
I suddenly realized that the others, specifically Herry, had drafted me to get popcorn to enjoy with the movie.
Yours Truly: Oh yeah, I'm the man alright. The man who's being forced to get the popcorn for this movie.
Even with my sarcasm, the others still made me get the popcorn for the movie by myself. Even after all of the popcorn kernels were already fully popped, I was still not quite that ready to rejoin the others in the living room.
Herry: Is the popcorn ready yet, Archie?
I could hear Herry's voice very clearly from the living room, where everyone else was except for the huntress of our team. The only issue I had against going directly back into the living room to give Herry his popcorn was a simple one, yet a dern good one if I had to say so, myself.
Yours Truly: I'll be back down in a second. I'm just gonna go see what Atlanta's doing right now!
I hiked up the stairs of the brownstone all the way to Atlanta's own bedroom door. I could hear her voice on the other side of it.
Atlanta: Um, yeah, no, um, it's...
Whatever my Atlanta was doing on the other side of her door, I just hoped that it could have waited until after our movie. I knocked on her bedroom door and opened it.
