"Psst. Psst. Wake up, I made french toast".
With drool running down my cheek, I sit up almost instantly and open my eyes upon the heavenly smell. We sit at the kitchen table for once, normally we just sit on the couch or in our rooms.
"Soooooo, you excited for todayyyy?"
I don't even have to look at her to know she's grinning like an idiot again. Why is she like this?
"Dude, I haven't been awake long enough for this shit. Let me eat in peace".
"Fine, fine. Be lame. I'm going to hop in the shower, don't fall asleep again".
"Mhm, yeah whatever".
Who does she think I am? How could I ever possibly fall asleep?
~
"DUDE! GET UP!"
"Oops...my bad".
I dramatically roll from the couch, to the floor, and lay there for a second groaning. Waking up is disgusting, why am I doing this for him? Inching my way to the bathroom, I turn the shower on and stand there for a while letting the almost boiling water hit my back. Eventually, I actually get to showering and only get out once the water starts getting cold.
"Lyps, it's almost 2. We need to leave soon so we aren't late".
"He's probably going to be late himself, it's fine".
"Whatever you say. Does he know I'm coming?"
"Shit, no I forgot to tell him. One sec".

calypso_rae:
Heyyyyy, so I forgot, but is it okay if I bring my friend with me? I don't want you to murder me or anything lmao
jschlatt:
As long as you guys don't try to murder me
calypso_rae:
I mean wasn't planning on it but now that you say that.....
JUST KIDDING
We'll be there soon

"He's cool with it, I'm going to do my hair real quick and then I'm ready".
"Yay! Hey, do you know where that spare camera is?"
"What are you up to Lizzie? Why on Earth do you need the camera?"
"Oh no reason, just wanna take pictures of the park is all".
I could read through that lie before she even spoke it. What could possibly go wrong if she has it? Content? I just have to remember where I put it.
"Fine. Um, it might be in my closet if you want to go look".
She quickly brushes past me straight into my room, why is she so excited about this? It's not like anything is going to happen. Well, other than the potential murder.
"Found it! And the battery is charged somehow".
"Yay, now you won't be in the way"
"Oh yeah, mhm, totally won't be in the way now".
I often wonder how other people perceive our friendship. We're about to find out how Schlatt will.

After about a 15 minute walk, we arrive at the park, but don't see him anywhere. He's probably just late like I said he would be. Hopefully he didn't just come, that would be unfortunate.
"Do you see him anywhere? I don't even remember what he looks like. Maybe he didn't come?"
I will never understand how she can be so oblivious while being so perceptive at the same time.
"Lizzie, he's probably just late like I said he would be. I'm sure he'll be here. Also, how do you not remember what he looks like? He faced revealed like two days ago?"
"Hey, don't question how this brain works up here. Maybe you should text him?"
I reach into my pocket for my phone and it's vibrating. Who would be messaging me right now?

jschlatt:
Yo where are you
Wait are you even coming
Dude i'm about to leave
WHERE ARE YOU
calypso_rae:
Oops
We're here
We're over by the playground
jschlatt:
Ugh i hate you
calypso_rae:
I know you love me <3

"He's here and walking over now. He actually got here a while ago apparently. My bad".
"I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT SOONER"
Luckily, before I would be obligated to respond, Schlatt started walking towards us.
"Heyyy man, sorry about that. How are you?"
"It's whatever dude, I was just worried that you guys got murdered on the way here or something".
The sly smile as he said that, ugh. He thinks he's soooo funny, doesn't he?
"Unfortunately not, now we HAVE to see you".
"More like get to, have you seen the people? They're going crazy dude".
The three of us migrate over to the picnic tables under the trees, talking about anything we can think of to fill the awkward silences. Lizzie ended up wandering off, taking some pictures of the ducks. I dread having to go through this conversation alone. Why is it so hard to talk to him? We've been friends for years now, although through a screen, it shouldn't be this hard , right?
