It was the weekend, and Jon had to go to the store to pick up some groceries for dinner, he was walking home when he heard a familiar voice call out to him "Hey Jon! Is that you?" He turned around to see Evan with a bunch of guys and girls from school. He started to approach Jon, "Hey, what are you doing out so late?"—"Picking up some groceries". Jon could slightly smell booze, and the group of friends behind him were acting more than just tipsy. "Are-are you uh, drinking?"—"I only had one, since I'm the driver tonight". He looked up at Evan's smiling face, "Oh I see..." he then looked off to the side. "You should come next time man, we just go around to bars, sometimes we do karaoke if we're that far gone" He laughed a bit, probably reminiscing about old memories.

"I don't, think y-your friends would a-appreciate that" Jon mumbled still looking to the side, "Well If I say to them you're cool, I'm pretty sure they'll give you a chance"—"I can't do that" he mumbled out again, "What?"—"I CAN'T HANGOUT WITH YOU". Jon froze in place watching Evans face turn from calm and happy to, uneasy. "What's taking so long man?" one of Evan's friends asked "I'm hungry" one of the girls complained. "Just give me a second" He yelled out at them, he then looked back waiting for Jon to say something else, but he was just staring off to the side.

"I know were not close or anything, but did I do something to upset you?" His eyes were staring into Jon's, and Jon hated it. He felt like he could read everything, like he was just toying with him and his emotions. "You didn't do anything to me..." Jon mumbled out again "It's what I might do to you"—"What does that even mean man? You're kind of freaking me out"—"EXACTLY, that's exactly my point..."—"Well just tell me then, what's going on?" Jon sighed "I can't tell you..."—"this doesn't make any sense Jon"

One of Evan's friends walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, making him turn around to face him. "Sorry man, but it's ten, I need to get home soon before I get in more shit than I already am..."—"Yeah, of course... just give me two more--", Evan turned around to see that Jon had already left. "Alright, let's just go" He said while looking around the area. He then turned back to his friends and started walking towards them at the front of the bar.
