Mutual Friends

0.3

I'm on my lunch break. Tell me about yourself, Isaac?

No, I wanna hear about these bigger plans of yours?

Okay. Fact for a fact?

Okay. My favourite colour is green.

Oh, come on Isaac! Give me something juicier.

Juicier?

Yeah. A dark family secret, your most embarrassing moment, or how about this business deal that went so wrong?

I grew up here, but went away on a spontaneous business plan that fell through due to lack of funding. Now I'm back with no friends because they all moved on whilst I was away.

Can't you reach out to them?

It's not like that. We just drifted apart.

So, let me get this right. You can randomly message a stranger on Facebook because they're a mutual friend, but not a friend you grew up with because you drifted apart.

I may have missed out that there was an unforgivable argument.

Well, then that would be fair enough.

Wasn't this supposed to be fact for a fact?

Very true.

So bigger plans?

I want to be a nurse.

Well, that's an incredible goal.

It would be incredible. I redid a bunch of exams and got the qualifications for university, I'm just waiting for the results.

Then I wish you luck.

Thank you. I just feel like even if I'm a couple of years older than most uni students, I should still get the opportunity.

So many people go back, it won't matter. How old are you anyway?

22.

That won't matter at all!

Well, thank you. I hate to cut this short, but I've got to head back.

Have a nice day.

You too :)
