It was the Wednesday night right
before Easter Sunday and I was about to do something I absolutely love, have
dinner with my friends. On a normal
Wednesday night my friends and I would have gone to church for youth group but
this week youth group was canceled and we were having dinner at my house
instead. The guys were all down in the
basement watching TV and us girls were in the kitchen making dinner. (Hahahaha all the girls were in the kitchen
making dinner, very funny go ahead and laugh)
From time to time we would drag the guys upstairs, once to set up all
the tables and extra chairs, another time to set the table. We had developed a rhythm that was broken
when Chels burnt her hand on the oven rack while putting in the mac and cheese. All activity in the kitchen ceased while we
located the first aid kit and consulted the best way to treat a second-degree
burn. Chels was then given a chair in the
kitchen and instructed to sit down and put an ice pack on her burn. She was not allowed to touch the oven for the
rest of the night. Eventually the food
was ready and we were very hungry. As we
sat down we segregated ourselves again, except this time it was singles at one
end of the table and couples at the other end. The conversation included taunts, laughter,
and inside jokes. It was nothing special
but that is what made it so great.
After
dinner, we decided to go to Rita ’s for
dessert. The main reason was not for the
ice and custard but to see my brother at work. We left my mom with strict
instructions not to worry about cleaning up our mess for we would clean up when
we got home. There were fourteen people
so we had to take separate cars, we had are on little caravan. Chels, a few others,
and I went a different way to Rita ’s. On the way we saw flashing lights of the EMS . That kind of
freaky me out because that was where the rest of out caravan should me. I had to reassure myself that if something
had gone wrong for my friends on their drive the EMS
would not have gotten there already, although they were there for someone. My car arrived there before anyone else, so I
was a bit worried about the others until they got there. After some water ice and some hellos to my
brother, we went to leave, but that was easier said than done, for a couple of
my younger friends had decided it would be funny if they disappeared. Therefore, we decide to prank them back. The rest of us got in our cars and went to go
back home, some of us actually did. Although Chels, a couple of others and I
waited for them in the parking lot next door. Eventually we got bored and went
and picked them up. Finally we headed
back home.
For
the rest of the night we relaxed, watch TV, played Just Dance, and talked. Nothing
crazy or interesting happened but it was fun all the same. One by one everyone left until once again my
house was quiet. There was nothing
special about that night except for the fact that we were all together and
really that all that matter to me because soon we will go our separate
ways. College, jobs, marriage, children,
and so much more waits for us but for now we will spend our time together until we have to leave each other.
