I was never an outside type of person. I couldn’t get myself to go outside, or hang out with friends. It’s hard for me to find something to do, so I just sit down on my couch and miss it all. Some people call me an introvert, but some people think I miss out cause I just don’t like people….I can see where people get that from, but I don’t like how people are just guessing about me…I wish I have the motivation, the time to actually go out and do stuff. When I do, nothing looks good to go to or the weather is bad. It feels like I have bad luck overall…

I sat at my desk, writing notes down for my college classes. I was almost done, everything was so nice and organized. The title of the lesson is written in jet black ink, bold and underlined. Most of the notes were written in sky blue ink but when it is something important, I either underline or write it in blood red ink. It was very neat and I was proud of it. I was about to finish up when my phone rang. I look over at my phone, slowly.

“Nico…?” I mumbled before picking up my phone. I held it to my ear after I press the answer button.

“Vincent, hey buddy! What are you doing?” Nico said, excitingly.

It’s his own tone of voice, I never heard someone this excited as him before. He’s usually excited over the little things. For example, a new book came out in the book store. Nothing big and not very popular, but Nico will get so excited that he will rush over there the minute he gets the news. It makes me smile that he enjoys himself, being a bit carefree in life.

“Hey Vince, still there?”

I sat up in my seat slightly as I snap out of my thoughts, “O-Oh sorry, I zoned out a bit..”

I heard Nico chuckle, “That’s all good, never mind what I said. I do have a question for you.”

I nod, “Really, what is it?”

There was a pause from Nico. I sat in my seat awkwardly as I waited for his answer. Why is he not saying his question now? Is it that important? Did something happen to him? Maybe he was kidnapped. Or he passed out. Just talk, please!

“Can you…hang out with me this weekend..?” Nico ask, finally answering.

I froze. Did he just say what I think he said…? I never thought someone would even invite me. Not even now since college exams are coming up. Yet, something could go wrong- no I can’t think of the wrong now! This is your only chance, you have to ride or die on this.

I took a deep breathe and answered, “Yes, I would love to go.”
