Mine.

I was standing next to my old friend that I met way back in grade school, she was going to get married soon to a brunet with shaggy hair. His eyes could light up a room, boy, I could tell ya. Even though she isn't the type of person to settle, I can give him about ten years before they part. I'm a cruel person to think that, I know, but Megan has been married six times in her thirty-nine years. Gaby, we're waiting on that blonde, innocent rascal. She broke up with Sadri twice, I don't really know why, when I asked the first time she told me it was none of my business.
And she's right, it's not.
Their relationship reminds me of this girl I used to play with in the first grade, always dating this boy named Cole. On and off. Never knew why. Never ended up dating again. I dunno.
Well here I am, a few months after the good old b-day. I'm thirty nine also, Gaby's forty. I can see her now, her hair reaches her ass and she's got them blue eyes still sparking.
Surprised how they still work like a flashlight in the woods.
She looks a lot like my grandmother back in the 70's, slimmed down, short, and lovingly. She has a boy named Rudy, he's a cool kid. I babysit him from time to time. I take him out of town sometimes, but shhh... That's between me, you, and him. Rudy's like, seven? No, fuck, I'm getting old. He's eleven years old. Damn. He has a nerdy ass little brother named Dalton, likes to start an argument, but he can never win one against MY little brother. Damn, they go at it. Alayna's doing God knows what, I see her from time to time walking down the side walk. We have our chats, and it looks like she's had a one night stand with Caleb, how I know, she showed up fucked up at Gaby's door step. I feel her pain though, that shit ain't great.
Me? Well, I'm still a virgin. Haha. I'm such a loser. I've had my first kiss though, and been touched through clothes but nah. Never had sex yet. I dunno why but over the years I've realized that dildos do NOT feel good inside me. So I've been trying to hit up some girls. Tryna get them to eat me out, just kidding. I wouldn't make them do that to me.
But I've been single since high school. I've dated one guy and he broke up with me because one, I didn't make enough money for him, two, he was going to college, three, he didn't like me getting drunk. So he left me for this other chick. I didn't care, honestly. He was just someone to talk to and take showers with.
But besides me, all my friends have moved except for Alayna, Megan, and Gaby.
They all have nice houses, where I, have my dad's shitty apartment, which my brother pays for. He works with science and he builds shit for NASA, like a scientist or whatever. He's rich as hell. Has a master's degree, three children, a house wife (who honestly only married him because he is weird or money), and did I already say money? But he financially supports me. My cousin who's like 60 now still helps me and talks to me, Kelea is everything to me. My mom died from a heart attack, dad left, dunno if he's dead. There's just me, my brother, and cousin Kelea.
And my friends, of course.
Libby is there to help, she's my concert buddy. Cute 'n small, all the guys hit on her. Even the young ones, like, damn. She's good. Jackie's been doing good, she has four kids. Phew. Lots of work. Got married to a middle eastern that looked like Zayn, no coincidence. Buket, she's living it up in Turkey with her Hunky husband. Actually very jealous, they haven't had kids yet, but I count on it. Been keeping up with her on insta, which no one uses anymore by the way, still trying to hit 39k posts. Ha. What a loser. Vinny, he lives in Alaska and turned his dad's jewelry store into his fashionista fashion shit, basically cool ass clothes (THAT I GET FOR FREE or ten dollars). He's well off and has a fucking HOT boyfriend. Why do all of my friends have good game? Oh yeah, I'm an intimidating person. I figured out I have a resting bitch-face, so that's great. I never went to college, I think I still have my job, (I was drunk as FUCK last night and my boss called me) I work at a clothing store, and I have a part time job at a Dunkin Doughnuts (that's some good shit). And yeah. Life's okay.
Maddie's traveling the country with her boyfriend, they made a promise way back, and Jacob's been good to me. He's like fifty something. He helps me out A LOT.
I sat in the booth watching the younger version of my grandmother walk into the room, Megan waves and calls, "Gib!" I smile and wave also.
