2 years. It had been 2 years since you had moved into Addison Apartments, the weirdest place in the fucking country. You had made many friends in those short two years. Your favorite, Larry Johnson. Maybe- more than frie- no. Maybe? Shut up.
Anyways..
You were awake. You were bored. A "Typical Friday Night".
Though it was summer, the night was eerily quiet. The sounds of cicadas were replaced by the pitter-patter noise of raindrops falling from trees from an earlier rainstorm. Rolling from the bed to the floor, you stood up and looked around for a certain object.
A walkie talkie. It had originally been Sal's, however, the male had gotten annoyed by Larry's weekly practical joke of loudly whistling in the communicator at 2 am on the dot which drove his cat absolutely mad.
You chuckled at the thought, imagining Gizmo freaking out and Sal trying to hush the feline. You reached for the Walkie Talkie, contemplating asking Larry if he wanted to do anything.
You didn't have to think for long though. Crackling through the speaker you heard that familiar voice and familiar music in the background.
"Hey, you on?" The male voice spoke through, causing you to become giddy and flushed. You pushed the button, speaking clearly into the machine.
"Yeah.. I'm on." You replied, sitting back on the bed and flopping your back against it.
"You busy or something?" The male asked, causing you to look at your alarm clock. It was only 7:30, and up until then you had been staring at the ceiling, not doing much. You gave a grin before pushing the side button and replying. "Nope, what's up-?"
The conversation progressed. Larry had asked you to the Drive-In. You hesitated at first, doubting his driving skills as you would have to /drive/ to get to the place, but with that smooth cool tone of his you gave in.
"Yeah, sure. Meet you in 10." You put the talkie down and sighed. You really didn't /need/ 10 minutes but you needed mental preparation time. What if he, held your hand? You fall asleep on him? He kisses you!? No.. no. You needed to calm down. Your 10 minutes has almost flown by. After getting dressed, you made your way down to the basement level of Addison Apartments, giving yourself an internal pep talk. Larry was already waiting by the snack machine for you. He was doing tricks with his keys in his hands, cursing every time he messed up. He was a dork. But he was /your/ dork. Technically you weren't dating but, that doesn't matter.
You cleared your throat, getting the male's attention. His ears turned red as he realized you had just seen his tricks, and fuck ups with that.
"Sofia- you scared the fuck knuckles out of me! Anyways.. are you ready to go?" He asked quickly, shoving his keys in his pockets.
You snorted and nodded. "For sure dude. What're we seeing?" You asked as you both started walking towards the exit.
"It's a movie that just came out." He explained, opening the door for the two of you.
"The Parent Trap, or something. Sal watched it and said it was good so.. I thought-" the two of you got to the car, both piling in.
"Sounds great." You reassured him, buckling your seatbelt. This started the most awkward drive of the 20th century.
