hello, eavesdropper.
i absolutely love it when my prayers are answered when i least expect it.
for the entire week i’ve been fervently praying to God that i see my friend just to be sure that my friend wasn’t avoiding me for some reason unimaginable.
every night, i whispered to God to please please please make it possible for my friend and i to bump into each other as a sign that we still do have a friendship burning. and whaddaya know, as i was getting off the escalator on the 3rd floor from the second floor, i see my friend getting off the escalator on the same floor from the opposite direction.
so for posterity’s sake…
"hello."
"hello."
"how are you?"
"tired. and kinda down."
"down?"
"yeah, my books are weighing me down."
"oh. yeah, mine are, too. where are you headed off to?"
"cafeteria. it’s lunch time."
"uh-huh."
"i’ll see you later, ok." (hugs exchanged)
"wait, what’s your schedule like?"
"i’m here [all day]."
"mmmhmmm. did you change your number?"
"what number do you have?"
"……?"
"oh, i don’t have that anymore. i don’t have a phone right now. i have a pager."
"uh, that isn’t much help."
"yeah. well, T-Mobile sucks."
"my parents have T-Mobile."
"ok, maybe not so much."
"yeah, but they think it sucks, too."
"yeah."
*silence*
"ok. well, see you later."
"yeah, later." (hugs exchanged)
"call me."
"i’ll try."
and that was that. and our friendship goes on.
