A year later:
At Astrid's house:
5:25 PM:
I'm making myself comfortable on the living room's couch in my pj's(black baggy t-shirt with sweatpants) with Navya on the other side. She doesn't get really cold so she's wearing a white tank top and flannel pants. We're waiting for Astrid to come back in her pj's but she's upstairs frantically searching for them. Meanwhile, Chris comes back to us with a simple white shirt and black sweatpants.
The door rings and Navya and Chris compete to get it. Navya ends up opening the door and it's Lewis- he came with Antonio and Marco, they're insperarable. As they enter the house and sit in the living room, I sit up, instantly feeling awkward. Navya and Chris sur by me, making me feel a bit less timid.
Navya: How have you guys been?
Antonio: Just great.
Marco: Good.
Lewis: Great but- where's Astrid?
Astrid: Here!
She runs down the stairs in a tank top and some shorts before hugging her boyfriend from behind.
Astrid: Alright! Let's start game night- shall we?
Antonio: I brought Uno!
Chris: I love that game- let's play that first!
Antonio proceeds to take the cards out of the bag he took with him.
Astrid: Maybe we should play on the ground- let's move the coffee table.
Navya and Astrid took the coffee table away and we all sat down on the floor.
Antonio: So... Mika-ain't it awkward being here with Marco just now?
I ignore him.
Chris: Can you not?
Lewis: Yeah Toni, that wasn't cool.
Antonio: Geez! I'm sorry, okay?
Navya: We're back!
Astrid: Alright let's start!
The two girls sit down and Antonio distributes eight cards to everyone before I flip the first card of the pile; it's a red card with seven on it. I look at my cards discreetly as Marco puts a blue seven in the pile. Lewis rolls his eyes and picks a card while Astrid throws in a blue plus two card to the pile. I add in a yellow plus two and Navya adds a plus four with a colour changer card.
Chris: You can't do that-
Navya: Yeah I can- and the colour is red.
Me: Thank you- Nav.
Navya: No problem, babes!
Chris: I-
Marco: Just take your six cards-
Chris: Alright.
He proceeds to take six cards while Antonio puts in another red card. Lewis puts in a red reverse card but Antonio puts in a green reverse card. Lewis puts in another reverse and I chuckle quietly with Astrid as Antonio blocks Chris with a yellow card.
Chris: Do you guys hate me-
Navya: No we don't!
Me: Only while playing Uno.
She puts in a green card and we continue the game normally until I end up with two cards and lay down one of them.
Me: Uno!
Navya adds two four cards, the first being yellow and the second being red.
Me: Counter uno!
Navya: Huh-
