For the past week, I've noticed that Adam and I were slowly growing apart. I have an idea of why he has been avoiding, but it seems like it's just not me he's avoiding, it seems like he's avoiding the whole team. It's very strange because the only person he doesn't seem to be avoiding is Charlie. I know they're like best buds and everything, but I think you need more than one friend in life because with one friend, things will get really boring, really fast. I mean, you can still have that one friend, but you would probably need to have many friends so you can go to anyone about anything.

But, anyway, I need to find out what's been bugging Adam and the only way I can do that is thru Charlie, since Adam won't even come near me. The only problem is how do I get a hold of Charlie and be able to talk to him alone.

As if he was reading my mind, Charlie had signed in onto AIM, which is an instant messenger where you can keep in touch with people. I then grabbed my laptop and Imed him.

ChicagoCutie: Dude, I really need to talk to you in person

CaptainDuck: And why would that be?

ChicagoCutie: I'd rather say that in person, but it is about someone on the team

CaptainDuck: If it's about some crush you have, talk to Julie or Connie about that

CaptainDuck: I have more important stuff to do before dinner begins

ChicagoCutie: Well, can we meet before dinner cause it begins in like ten minutes

CaptainDuck: Fine, if it makes you happy, I'll meet you down there

CaptainDuck: I'll be at the table nearest the entrance

ChicagoCutie: Okay, see ya there

CaptainDuck has signed off.

I closed my computer and headed off to the cafeteria. Within the first minute of being in the cafeteria, I spotted Charlie. I walked up to him and said, "I'm glad you agreed to come and actually show up. I would've thought that you would have gotten some food and be stuffing your face by now."

"Normally I would," he answered, "But I kind of thought that this was important, so I decided to hold off on getting food. So what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Yea, about that. Do you have any idea why Adam is acting so strange? I mean, he's been avoiding me for reasons I know about, but do you know why he's avoiding the rest of the team?"

"I know why he's avoiding the team and I also know why he's avoiding you. He told me about what happened in the hallway and, personally, I'm not to happy that my friend isn't exactly too ecstatic lately."

"Ecstatic? Nice word. I've always liked that word. But, that's not the point of this little meeting now is it? The reason I called this little meeting is to see why, which I already know, and to see if you could tell me why Adam is avoiding me and the team?"

"I can't tell you that, only he can," he said, "And he will eventually start talking to you again. So can, we like, get some food? I'm starving and dinner began, like, two minutes ago."

"So you forgive me? And are you trying to be, like, a girl?"

He nodded his head and laughed at the girl comment I made. This just goes to show you that with a little meeting, everything can be solved. Well, almost everything, I still wish I could get Adam talk to me. But that's another mission for another day.
