Replacement Dates and Other Things

“Hey Rissel!”

Josh crashed through everyone.

“Wait up, man!”

No.

Way.

Dammit. Why does he always have to catch up?

“Hey, man, why didn’t you wait? I need to tell you somethin’ important.”

Josh? Important? I don’t think so.

“Hi, Josh.” I kept walking at a steady rhythm.

“So listen man, do you know Tori Ankelci?”

Did I know Tori Ankelci? Duh.

“Mm.”

“Well, she has this major favor to ask you. Can you do it?”

Favor? Okay, now this was going to be interesting.

“I don’t know Josh. Maybe I’d know if you told me what the favor was first.” I spoke slowly, as if I was talking to a baby.

“Right. Jose broke up with her, and right before homecoming… You get what I’m sayin’?”

“I’m not going to be her little replacement date again, Josh. You tell that to Tori, and let’s see what she says.”

“Listen, man, I really don’t wanna have to-”

“Sucks to be you. Bye, Josh.”

He sighed. “Fine. See ya around.”

I doubt it.
