I woke up two mornings before Christmas Day, which was Tuesday. It was the last day of school before winter break, woo hoo! I got out of my bed at 6:00 a.m. I needed exactly 45 minutes to get ready so for the extra 15 minutes (before Maya came to pick me up at exactly 7:00 a.m) I just played games on my phone and listened to music.
I went downstairs at around 6:55 a.m and I was about to sit down to eat breakfast when I heard the buzz
"Maya here"
I buzzed her into my apartment, on time like always. Occasionally Farkle comes too so I was waiting for him as Maya and I ate breakfast together. I heard the buzz about 5 minutes later along with "Farkle"
I said, "Be down in a minute," as I went to go put on my jacket. Then I heard another buzz with "And Lucas." I practically screamed, "Ready now!"
I ran downstairs to the lobby of my apartment building and greeted Farkle and said "Hey" to Lucas. He replied with a "Hey" back and my heart melted. It has been a year since we met and he still had that effect on me.
We all walked to the subway. Of course as soon as we all took one step together Maya and Farkle started their bickering. Lucas and I just stood behind them laughing at our friends bickering. We started our own conversation though.
"Hey, so I was wondering if you wanted to… you know… go out for a slice of pizza or something like that tomorrow night? I understand if you don't want to or if you find me completely repulsive but-"
Lucas was cut off when I responded, "I'd love to." We walked in our own comfortable silence as we walked the rest of the way to the subway.
