So now, please enjoy!
"Am I really 'cool'? That can't be...or can it?" I questioned to myself as I thought on my encounter with the teen that had happened just minutes before, the possibility of me being 'cool', a strained looked shown across my face as I stared out to nothing with only the ambient noise of the ocean waves filling my mind.
Looking up from where I sat I looked out to the vast ocean that laid out before me, it's salty breeze leaving me feeling exhausted and tired as the small piece of paper sat besides me.
"Why am I tired?" I asked myself, nothing today should have left me like this, all I did today for the most part was sit down, even now I was just sitting on a lone bench in the middle of the surprisingly empty boardwalk.
I didn't know how long I sat there viewing the pleasant horizon before me, I began to think on the day, and my song.
As I sat there looking out the the empty horizon I was taken out of my thoughts as a voice had suddenly called out from beside me. Reeling back from my surprise I quickly turned to face a new, but concerned face.
"Are you okay? You looked a little out of it there." Asked a women as she leaned forward trying to see if I were ok, she stood there with what looked to be a jogging suit which was covered by a white tank-top. Her dark skin had been covered lightly with sweat as she looked at me with a worrying stare.
"I-I'm fine! Hehe, I'm alright really." I squealed out, holding my hands up in front of me trying to assure both her and even to an extent myself that this was the truth, this seemed to not convince her however but surprisingly her face had slightly eased.
"Well if you say so." She said as she put her hands as she reluctantly left the issue while taking a step back.
As she stood there and as I sat in place the tension was slowly replaced with an awkward air as I began to feel unsure of what to do with the situation, but one thing came up to save me from figuring out the answer.
"My names Kiki by the way."
Looking to her her reluctant face had been replaced with a grin as 'Kiki' stood there.
"Hi Kiki, my names-"
"Matthew, right?" She said cutting me off.
"Yeah that's my name, hehe." Scratching the back of my head as I chuckled, this in turn caused Kiki to give a small laugh as I finally decided to get to my feet, looking to Kiki I noticed she was roughly a foot smaller then I as I had tilted my head down slightly just to actually see her.
"Hey, umm I'm sorry for interrupting you there." She apologized looking as if she had done something wrong.
"You looked like you were in the middle of something...so I thought I'd try see if you were alright." Her faced furled slightly, as if trying to hide a sense of guilt as she had apologized, this ironically left myself feeling a little guilty as well.
"It's nothing, it's just that umm..." trailing off I stood there wondering what it was that I had me so worried in the first place, looking around anxiously my stare landed on the piece of paper that had been sitting on the bench this whole time.
"I'm just thinking about what I should do tonight." This caught her attention, my eyes still fixed to the invitation that sat on the bench.
"I heard there's a party happening tonight and I'm actually stuck deciding if I should go or not."
Hearing this her entire face lifted with understanding as she smiled knowing full well what I was talking about.
"Ohh, you mean Sour creams rave huh...yeah from what Jenny tells me things do get pretty rowdy whenever he throws one of those."
"Who?" I asked not knowing either of the people she just mentioned.
"Oops, sorry Jenny's my sister and Sour Creams the one who usually DJ's."
"Oh." Was all I could say, knowing just a little more about my situation I felt a little more certain on what to do.
"Thanks Kiki, and sorry for the worry, I didn't mean to get anyone's attention like this." I said feeling a little better, and from Kiki's expression it looked like things were looking good.
As we stood there we were both startled as a voice loudly shouted from behind us, this voice was one that I knew and from Kiki's reaction it seemed like she knew as well.
"Kiki, there you are!" As I turned around I had spotted Kofi Pizza standing sternly in the doorway of his restaurant, arms crossed as his gaze was placed squarely on us.
"Do you realize how late you are for work?" Kofi called out leaving Kiki to quickly spin to face him.
"Sorry dad, I'll be right there!" She shouted leaving me surprised to know that he was her father.
She began to make her way to her father and their restaurant, but as she took her first few steps she turned her head to look to me.
"See you later Matthew!" She called out, waving her hand as she did so.
"Yeah uhh, see you later too." I mimicked back as my hand waved through the air as she made her way past her father who followed her inside.
Standing there alone again I turned to look to the ocean again, taking in the view as the rolling waves came in and out of the sandy beach line.
Then looking down to the bench I saw the small flyer still sitting in its spot, a sigh escaped my mouth as I leaned down to pick it up.
"This is going to be an interesting night."
So there you go, hope you guys enjoyed!
