We went through to the hallway together to the cafeteria.
Alex was completely silent, so I just talked CONSTANTLY!! :)
About english, history, P.E, and everything!!!
Just like our summer camp days!! :)
Pushing open the doors, we went in, the loud noise flooding into my head again.
IT WAS STILL LOUD. :(
but I'd be okay! :) ..hopefully..
I did notice tons of kids stare at us and talk to their friends.
Why?? I didn't get it.
We both sat at a table quietly, him sitting ABOUT 3 inches away from me.
I anxiously scrambled for something to do.
OH YEAH!!! BACKPACK!!!
Alex stared at me curiously as I pulled the backpack from my shoulders and put it down to the table, unzipping it.
"Oh, you have this..?" He asked as he took the granola bar from the backpack and slid it to me.
"Yes!! These are SO good. My mom ONLY gets it on special occasions!! She says they're too sugary."
I took the backpack and zipped it back up, slipping it next to me.
"My mom's obsessed with these. She really likes the chocolate chip one. She also talks about YOUR mom a lot. They must know eachother."
Oh yeah!! :) I was wondering about that a few days ago.
I took the granola bar and put it in the backpack quickly.
"Oh, yeah! Totally. But in what way?? That's your mom, and she knows my mom, so they totally know eachother. And mom said it was 20 years ago."
"Well..your mom is around 35? My mom's 35."
ALMOST CORRECT! :)
"She's 36! So 20 years ago they were.."
"16 and 15."
OH!!! :) THAT'S COOL !!!
"Alright! Well.. I'm assuming they were friends back then. But if so, why do they hate eachother now??"
"Well, I guess I can't tell. Maybe they broke up or whatever. She's been OBSESSED with her forEVER."
"..broke up? Like...dating?" I asked. OOH!! :)
His eyes went wide, almost like he said something he shouldn't.
"No." His eyes went down, going as far away from me as possible.
???? What?? :)
WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY?!
I mean, maybe they were dating.. but they would've kept it a secret.
OH MY GOSH THIS IS CRAZY!!! :)
I checked the clock quickly.
11:35 AM.
