The Look in Their Eyes

Chillen with Friends

     So I was watching Dotty be wheeled down the hall with doctors yelling orders. I decided to go find my friends instead of watching all of this intense commotion. I wasn’t too worried because I know she is in good hands.

     While walking down the hall, I called Craig. "Hey baby" he answered.

     “Hey uhh, where are you?" I asked a little hesitant. Really only because he could be anywhere.

     “Oh I'm in the waiting room, waiting for you. Where are you? Ill meet you up." he said with suspicion in his voice.

     "Oh, I’m like right here" I said quickly and hung up the phone. I looked at Craig, who jumped up and hugged me.

     “you will never believe what-... wait where’s Ally and Zacky?" I stopped in mid sentence to figure out where my best friend was.

     "Oh, they’re still here somewhere. But they are off in a back room somewhere hookin' up, I imagine." he said, with his eyes never leaving mine.

     “ugh, ill text her." I said a little annoyed, looking down at my phone as I was taking t out of my pocket.

     We were all sitting in the car. Already t was four o’clock and I, for once, was starving. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast and the others had. I get a little grumpy when I am hungry.

     "GIMMIE FOOD!!!" I shouted, while sitting in the front seat of the car. We pulled into Five Guys: Burgers and Fries, to eat. I got a bacon and cheese burger with a drink. Craig got two bacon and cheese burgers with French fries and an ice cream Sunday with a chocolate shake. God is he a fat man in a muscular body. He had all that and was still finished before me.

     "Craig your fat" I teased

     "Alex, your mean" he teased back. I glanced over to him staring at my burger. I handed it to him. "Here you go, thanks for asking" I said, looking at him like 'man who he hell do you think you are.’ he smiled back and said " thanks babe" then winked at me before shoving practically the whole thing in his mouth. Well I can’t blame him; he is a growing 19 year old. You know, they need a lot of food to keep their metabolism up.

     We left and went home. The first thing I did was brush my teeth incase any left overs were stuck in my bottom braces. Yeah I know, disgusting. 6 MORE DAYS!!!! I am counting down. And actually tomorrow it'll be 5 days! Yeah boy! People like Craig didn’t ever have to worry about getting stuff stuck in his braces, because one he didn’t have them and two his teeth are so crooked that it is impossible to get stuff stuck in them. Lucky bastard.

     We all chilled in my house again, in my basement as usual. I walked back into the room and closed the door and locked it. My family likes to barge into places a lot. It was Sunday and about 6. I had to write a 10 page history report due the next day. Joy. It was the last week of school, so reports and exams were what we constantly did. I was only a junior, sadly. Craig had stayed back, but finally graduated this year. I remember how excited he was. It was hilarious. They told him he could graduate and the first thing he did was go smoke some pot. He still does, but not usually when I’m around. I told him he acts fucking stupid and retarded when he is stoned. Of course all he did was laugh because he was completely blazed at the time.

     We "watched" a movie, and they left. Craig stayed to "help" me with my report, but really only made me have less time to work on it. It was around 11:30 at night when he left. Shit. 8 more pages to go. That’s with it double spaced. Not to mention I have to get up at 5. And it’ll take me about two more hours to write and edit the rest of the paper.
