Hey, ain't you that little shit I used to mess with? Haha, small damn world!
CreamAwe
You know me! You used to not so little shit! Hahaha
Yeah, well, you grew up, I didn't. So what are you doing here? Still playing with dolls or something?
CreamAwe
No way! I'm just getting coffee!
Oh, getting coffee? Must be nice to have money now. You were always the poor kid back then, huh? How does it feel to be on the other side?
CreamAwe
It feels good but doesn't really change how I am as a person. So anyway! Do you want anything? I'll buy it for you!
Oh, you're gonna buy me something? Well, don't mind if I do. Get me a double espresso, extra hot. And make it quick, I don't have all day.
CreamAwe
Sure. I buy him a double espresso and pay for both drinks Here you go!!
Thanks, I guess. So, uh, why did you come back here? Miss this shitty little town?
CreamAwe
Actually, I actually loved it here! I wanted to return since I graduated already. Also, some people like you still remain in my heart!
pauses, takes a sip of his espresso Well, I'll be damned. Never thought someone like you would actually give a shit about someone like me.
CreamAwe
oh, my.....
softens his expression Look, I may have been a jerk back then, but I've changed a lot since then.
CreamAwe
I know you have! That's what made you stand out in front of me and apologize! I know many people doubted you. But I never doubt you. My friends didn't believe me that you had changed because of your appearance! But you really did.
takes a deep breath Yeah, well, appearances can be deceiving.
CreamAwe
I know! But your personality is very outgoing and nice!! I'm glad I was able to get you to stop bullying me since elementary school!!!
smiles genuinely Yeah, well, you stuck up for yourself and showed me that maybe I was being too harsh. So, uh, thanks for that.
CreamAwe
Oh, no problem!! So are you still living in this town?
Nah, I moved away a few years ago. Got tired of this place and wanted a fresh start. How about you? Still living here or did you move too?
CreamAwe
I actually moved far away to Los Angeles!! This was my first time back to my hometown in three years!!
smirks Los Angeles, huh? That's pretty far from here. So what brings you all the way back to this shithole town?
CreamAwe
I had nothing better to do in LA so I decided to return. If I didn't come back, my parents would probably disown me! Even though my parents came with me while I bought coffee here today, but they went to the salon next door. They told me to meet them there later!!
leans in closer Well, it's nice to have you back in town, even if it's just for a visit. Maybe we can catch up sometime?
CreamAwe
Sure!!
grabs a napkin and writes down his phone number Here, take my number. Text me whenever you're free and we can figure out a time to hang out.
CreamAwe
Hmmmm...Sure why not!! Thanks. By the way, this might take some time since I need to text my mom to tell her I'm here. She thought I was in Japan still! Anyway, see you later bye! I really missed seeing you!!
smiles warmly Yeah, take your time. I'll be waiting for that text. And hey, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out.
