Mr. Bad Boy

Part 21

“So, what’s the news?” Ashley asked Andre.

“Well, I got a scholarship to the University of Toronto!” Andre was super excited. It was written all his face.

“Dude, that’s fricken amazing!” Petey shouted. Hey got up and hugged Andre.

“What university are you going to, Peter?” Ashley asked him.

“Michigan University.” Petey told her.

“Oh snap. You guys are going to be far away from each other.” Ashley said.

That really got me. These two best friends are going to be pretty far from each other. Would they remain friends after that long time apart? Or will their friendship just end up being an old memory?

“Thanks for ruining the mood Ashley.” Andre said.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” She apologized.

“What university are you planning to go to Ashley?” Petey asked her.

“I’m actually not going to go out and travel unlike you guys. I’m staying here and going to University of Rochester.”

“You know if you really think about it,” Andre started, “Toronto and Michigan are only six hours away. Peter and I can have regular visits.”

“That is a pretty smart idea.” Ashley agreed with them.

“You know,” Petey entered now, “Rochester is pretty close to Toronto. It’s only about three hours away.”

“So?” Ashley asked.

“I mean… if you ever do want to hook up with Andre, he’s not that far away.” Petey suggested to her.

“Yeah right, in your dreams.” Ashley seemed disgusted.

We all had a big laugh.

“Bethany, what university are you going to?” Andre asked me.

“NYU.” I told them.

“You got into NYU? That is crazy good!”

“Damn, that’s like six hours away from Rochester.” Petey said, mocking Ashley.

“We can make it work. We’re girls.” She told him.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Andre asked, offended.

“It means that we actually have feelings and care for each other. It would kill us not to be able to see each other for over like a month. Guys on the other hand, they don’t even care. You guys are going to see each other like once every two months about twice, then you’re going to have fewer phone calls, no emails, and then you two are just a memory of what once was.” Ashley explained.

“Damn Ashley. Now you really killed the mood.” Petey said to her, and we all shared another laugh.

“I’m done with this place!” Andre got up and said.

“What?” I asked.

“I don’t want to sit here and talk about how we’re all going to forget each other.” Andre explained as he paid the bill.

“Then what do you want to do?” I asked him.

“I want to make memories.”

“Ha, take a seat honey that is not going to happen.” Ashley said to him.

“Really?” Andre said.

“Yes.”

“Do you want to bet on that?” he teased her.

“Oh hell fucking yes.” Ashley got up and said.

Andre and Ashley looked each other in the eyes for a minute.

“What do you have in store for us?” I asked Andre.

“That is a surprise. And you’re only going to know what it is only if your stubborn friend Ashley agrees to come.”

I really wanted to know what the surprise was. Ashley better not let me down at this time. Not when I really need her.

“Fine,” Ashley said, throwing her napkin on the table and picking up her purse, “let’s go. Now.”

We all got up and walked out into the parking lot. Whatever this surprise is, I really hope its super good. Because one thing I couldn’t get out of my head was what Ashley said.

How we’re all going to drift apart from each other. Andre was right. We did become the best of friends in a short time. Then it’s all just going to be a memory in the back of our head in a few years? Just something you look back at every once in a while? Is it really going to be a friendship gone to waste? This surprise, better be good.
