Waking Up Sucks (Sometimes)

Five.

My thoughts were literally a mess.

I was on my way home when someone tapped my shoulder.

"Uhm, hi?"

It's him.

For the second time around.

Did I do something wrong in my past life?

"Uh, yeah hello, P'Mew."

"Wow, it's the first time I heard you call my name."

Shoot.

Just plain wow, self.

Who says you have the permission to call him by his first name?

"I-.. I'm sorry.. I need to go."

I was about to turn my heels when a hand stopped me from moving.

"You always leave me behind."

"Second."

"Huh?"

"This is just our second encounter. I don't think that 'always' is the right term for it."

He laughed heartily as he ruffled my hair.

"A'ight grumpy cat."

"A what?"

"You heard me. A cat. A fluffy, adorable yet grumpy cat. Should I call you that from now on?"

"You know what? I'm leaving."

"At least gimme your name before you leave?"

I just shrugged my shoulders as I continue to walk, leaving him baffled.

"Name's Gulf."

Is it wrong that I can't wipe this irritating smile on my face?

"See you around, Gulf!"

Yeah, see you around, P.
