~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       I'm sitting at the coffee shop with my friend Trisha Jensen, thinking, and informing her about the day before. My friend Trisha asks me very excitedly,"So, how have you been?" My friend Trisha asked, changing the subject. I am sitting outside in the courtyard of the coffee shop, and playing with the salts and creamers. I answer saying, "Not that great.." Trisha looks worried, but who wouldn't.

She still has the worried face on, and asks, if I was okay. I hesitate to answer her, but then I look up again, and see that she leans in and holds my hands. She says,"Riley, I am here for you, you can tell me anything!" I take a deep breath, and think to myself, that I'll be okay. I say thanks, and that I'm lucky to have her as a friend. She asks,"Now, what is it?" she smiles. I take a big couple breaths, and start to tell. "I guess I'm still hung up on the breakup with Tristan.." I sigh. For awhile there is silence between us. She answers, and says,"What about it?" Now she just is desperate. I sigh. I say to her," He came over yesterday.." she gasps in shock, interrupting me, and I go on. "He had asked me if I would double date, with him this Friday. How does he have a new girlfriend after only a week! Should I go?"

I am feeling really upset, and awaiting what Trisha has to feel about it. She takes a deep breath, and says,"That is really awkward, and kind of rude. I do think you should, if you think it's the right choice." She sighs. I sort of smile, and say,"Thank you for your help!" I was going to say something again when she says,"Hey, do you need to help to find a date, 'cause I know people." I don't answer yet, because it feels a little sudden, and kind of weird. Why would she find a date for me. You'd think I'd find my own. Anyway. I answer saying,"Sure, who, and thanks! What is his name?" I wait. She says,"It's Andrew." I smile, and say," That's cool. It seems to be getting late, so I better go." I say while looking down at my phone, checking the time."  I start to stand up, as well as Trisha does too. Trisha and I say bye, and give a hug goodbye. Trisha Says,"Talk to you later."

I start to walk home, and think of what I will do. I walked all the way until I have arrived home. I made it to my house at about 9:30 at night, and all I can think about now is my bed. I walk up the apartment stairs, until I'm on my floor of my room in the apartment. I make it up the stairs, and get out my keys to open my door. I turn the handle, and walk in, closing the door behind me. I start to walk to my bedroom. I drop everything on my side table in my bedroom, as I walk in. I get ready for bed, and eventually crawl into my bed, turning off the lights beside me, on the coffee table.

                                                                                    ''''^''''

I sit at home eating strawberry jelly, and lightly buttered bagels for breakfast at like 9 am. As I'm eating my breakfast I hear a ringing sound, and realize it's my cell phone ringing. I wonder who's calling, I think to myself. I hear it in my bedroom, so I walk to it, and find it on my bedside table. I grab it, and start walking back to the dining table. I look at the screen, and see that it's Tristan.

I answer it on the way, and say,"Hey Tristan! What's up?" I am not really in the mood to talk to him, but I have to. 

He exclaims,"Hey Riley! I was just wondering if your feeling good about tomorrow night?" he sounds of a bit urgency, but still patient. 

Truthfully I'm not feeling good, or ready, but I know that I will give an effort. If I didn't, that would be rude. I answer,"Yeah, I suppose I am!" 

Tristan says,"Good! Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow night!!" He sounds excited for this, it's weird. 

I say,"Yeah, see you then!" He hangs up, and now there's silence. I set my phone on the table next to my plate with the last of my bagel. I go back to eating my last bagel bite, and then stand up to put my dishes in the sink to start washing it. I grab the soup and cleaning brush to clean the dishes. I make sure it's all clean then set it in the drying rack on the other side of my double sink, after I have rinsed. I turn the water off, and then dry my hands with the towel on the counter top. I then grab my phone to go back to my room. I decide to go see a movie at the theater, but I don't ask anyone, cause I want to be alone. Weird right, I live alone, so why would I want to be more alone, I just feel like it. It's calming to the mind.
