Sarcastic, sharp-tongued Ava Allard didn't get to college. Almost ten years have passed since then, but the young woman is still working at her mom's misfortunate (...
"You know, perhaps it's time to switch to a public transport. Having your own car is fine, but not in the city. Even though I can change tires, I don't want to waste my time in traffic jams."
"Why are you so categorical? Don't you love me at all?" This annoying friend not only didn't help me change the tire but also pressured me about my responsibility.
We've been friends for so long that we've become more than just childhood friends, we're like family. Many people think he's my younger brother. It's fortunate that my parents haven't completely cut him out of my life. They've always been censoring my social circle since childhood. Maybe it was time for me to mature. I felt something inside when I thought about that girl from the café. It was a memory of childhood, when a new girl joined our class. Everyone wanted to be friends with her, I was quiet and not very sociable. I liked her immediately; she was unlike the others. Her family were refugees. She was the first to befriend me, maybe because I didn't look like the others. I don't know. She caught up with me as we walked home from school. It turned out we were neighbors. We did everything together. Went to school, played every break, came home from school, and visited each other. I would call for her, and we'd go play outside. Every day. We missed each other so much during the holidays. But soon, the school year ended, it followed by another. We moved on to middle school, and it was that very girls' phase when they start chasing after boys. Boys didn't interest me. I had nothing to discuss with them; I never fell in love with boys. I didn't find them attractive, interesting, or intelligent. Gradually, I and my best friend drifted apart. I became introverted, and eventually, my parents chose another school for me.
Unfortunately, the same feeling arose in me towards the barista.
Why am I so interested in her?! I need to see her, and maybe it'll turn out that I've just imagined everything. And she clearly has a boyfriend; she's so confident. And what am I?! Some chatty girl who talks about cosmetics, fashion, and other nonsense.
"I don't recognize you lately. Are you in love?! But with whom?" Teo nudged me in the shoulder. He wouldn't relent until he got an answer. "Noooo, Bo, just look at it, they're already posting in socials there's nothing in the café. Just some crappy coffee, lots of people, school kids, and only drinks. There's nothing to eat there. They suggest going to our 'kitchen,' remember that one, with the big couch, like in the 'Friends' series, and dimmed lights. They have nice photo zones with good lighting and vintage thingies."
That was always the case, my friends criticised every place. I couldn't remember the last time they admired anything. When did we become like this? Snobs.
I don't understand how and when I became such a person. Stop thinking only about yourself, pull yourself together and drive to her café and open your eyes to your friends. Who if not me. After all, they always have a choice. What they need is simply not pursue me, "I forgot to tell you something Teo," I sweetly smiled, looking at him. He joyfully smiled back at me, not knowing that I was pissed. "Get out of the car. Go wherever you want!" I blurted out to Teo, parking the car on the shoulder.
"What? Are you serious right now? Are you vlogging or something? Is there a hidden camera? Is this some kind of prank?" He couldn't believe what was happening.
"Get out. I want to be alone!" I pushed him out of the car. "I don't care where you go or how you get there! Find a taxi for once! Do something yourself!" I shouted at him, and it felt so good. "Adiós, Amigo!"
