Imagine waking up in the dark, you're being carried by somebody completely foreign to you. The night is warm and clear. You can make out patches of the dark sky through the dense pine trees. A million little stars and a full moon add a ghostly white glow to everything, including your stranger carrying you. "Where am i?" you ask. Now before I can go any deeper with what is happening to me at this moment and before I figure out where exactly I am, I should probably start at the beginning.
Hey, my name is Riley. I'm 22 years old, I'm 5'7" with reddish brown hair that falls down the my waist. I'm probably too skinny for most of you, but damn do I love eating junk food, but do copious amounts of yoga. I can be extremely shy, I cuss too much and I have an attitude of a honey badger. Now put that in your juice box and suck it. I also tend to say whatever is on my mind without thinking about it. That being said I am currently having a wonderful conversation with my best friend Austin while we are driving to our favourite place on Earth. Timothy Lake on Mt. Hood. We aren't much into Hawaiian vacations...
"Austin, will yo shut the fuck up and listen to me?" I'm really not that mean I promise... "I am not smoking weed with you, or drinking with you. Isn't this why we brought Trevor with us, AND invited Lisa and Evan"I'm hoping this will finally change the subject.
"Dude just one more time? What the hell happened, we used to do it all the time? Come on dude" he tries insisting, it's not working. Actually a lot happened to me, I feel like I grew out of it all. I end up using the same result as always. "I just got over it okay, no more questions. Can we talk about video games now? When the hell are you going to but me Batte Field 4 so I can stop playing Halo by myself?" This erupts into a conversation not centred around me. It wastes a good 45 minutes We are so close to the campground I can smell it. Something is up though, both Trevor and Austin grow silent. "Okay, what did you guys do?" I ask sternly hoping to avoid the bullshit.
"Don't be mad, but we invited Dale and the other guys, It has been forever since the group has been together." Trevor confesses. I sigh a little bit "I'm not mad you guys, you're completely right." Which the are. In truth I am very happy about this. I miss how things used to be only about a year ago. Dale and I used to date. Te whole relationship was awkward because it was like dating my little brother. Ouch, friend zone, I know. Maybe this weekend would rekindle some lost friendship.
