Nothing else eventful happened throughout the day. It was.. very boring.
But yay! School ended. Me and Riley, being the cool childhood friends we are, live close.

*CUE FLASHBACK*

It was the fourth day of kindergarten. I was having a lot of trouble making friends. Recess came, and I did what I always did. Try to talk to people. But oh, they all already had their little gross baby groups. I Sighed, frowned, and walked over to the tree I always sit by. But that day, I found somebody else. A Short, blonde kid sat by a tree, holding a handheld console with a Pokémon game on it. I rushed over.
"Hey! Is that Pokémon?" I asked, sitting next to.. them?
"Huh? Yeah! It is!!" The child cheerfully spoke, eyes lighting up.
"I'm Wilbur! Nice to meet you!" I spoke happily, looking at.. their?? Screen.
"..RILEY. Yeah! I'm Riley!" Riley chortled.

For the rest of recess, I watched him play Pokémon games. And from that day on, we were best friends.

*END FLASHBACK*

Oh yeah. Today, I made plans with Riley to go to the park. Cause like, why not? We've been friends for years. It doesn't hurt to hang out out of school.
I checked the time. 4pm. I gotta get ready. I slipped On a long sleeved striped shirt, and slipped on a cheap Malice Mizer tshirt I got off redbubble. I combed my hair, and left the house. My parents aren't home, so it doesn't really matter where I go. I start walking, and text Riley.

I chortle, and put my phone in my pocket. Picking up the pace in my walk. I personally think that Riley has a FAT crush on Mason. It's been obvious. After Steph wrote that atrocious story about us, titled as the "burgatleys", Riley's kept a keen eye on Mason. Mason was portrayed as Riley's secret admirer. That seemed to make Riley happy. After all of that, Mason and Riley started talking for once. They got close. It was cute to see, but I mean, come on. It's corny. That's off topic. I made it to the park at 4:30 sharp. I squinted, and looked around, eventually seeing a frantically waving blonde. Along with a nervous, fancy-ly dressed Mason. He seemed to be holding a box of sorts. I could quietly hear him say something along the lines of "it's a gift, since I don't need it." Or something.  I walked over.
"Sup, Mason? Been a bit, huh?" I smiled, giving him a light pat on the shoulder. He nodded.
"Hey, Willll.... Bur? Im just giving Riley this uh, box." Mason nodded, hastily handing the box off to Riley. Riley looked confused, as he opened it. But his eyes quickly shined as he saw  what was inside. A few hoodies of Masons , all embroidered with his name on the back.
"DUDE! These are your uh, name hoodies, you know that, right?" Riley questioned, half pushing the box back to Mason. Mason pushed it back.
"Nono, I know! I've just uh, out grown them and all." Mason Said, chuckling. Riley nodded.
"Well, alright then, I guess." Riley nodded again, smiling like a little kid. His face was totally bright red. He listened intently to every word Mason said.

I just grew out of them!

Bull. Absolute bull.
