Today, I met a friend that I had not seen in too long. I hadn't seen Emma since we were in marching band together. We made plans to see each other, but since we didn't excange numbers, we had no way of calling to make sure the plans were still good. Thankfully both of us were punctual. Her dress had embroidered with flowers that made me feel rather underdressed in my black shirt and shorts.
We sat at a nice table with only two seats. Two waiters approached the table, and one told us that the other was new and was practicing. Not that we cared, and actually, we laughed together about how silly they were. He took our order and returned to the kitchen.
I asked Emma about college and her teachers. I told her about the new band that I'm in and how it's still in the "let's see how it works" phase. We laughed at the waiter again--not in his prescence, of course--because he got the order wrong after making sure this is what I wanted.
After a while our conversation became more relaxed, as it can be awkward with a reunion like this. We talked long after I finished my meal and after she nibled at hers. We exchanged stories, so we could catch each other up. We talked about past love interests and the interests of friends. I told her about Anna, Missy, David and his girlfriend, Rachel, and how David is a jerk according to Missy after he got a girl. She told me about how her old boyfriend, Michael, has a rude girl that he met on the internet. We spent hours engaged in stories and we were some of the last people in an empty Chappy's. It was a good day.
