Can coffee create family?

Friendship?

Clydes perspective

„Can I ask you something?"
„Yeah....?"
„Are you Single?"
What the fuck Clyde, just what the fuck.
Why do I keep asking these god damn dumb question.
„Well someone's straight forward."
„I'm sorry that was a bit abrupt, I was just curious."
Way to save it, ugh I'm a idiot and now I'm turning red from embarrassment, what a way to go.
„No not at the moment, I'm waiting for someone who loves me for me."
What is this bullshit, a poetry club or what.
If yes then this is the story about a blunt girl and a idiotic socially awkward boy.
„I understand, I'll ket you go now, maybe we'll see each other around."

Right when I was turning away that girl speaks up again.
„Wait, I can take a minute and you could give me your number if you want to meet again, you seem like s good friend."
The hell, when did I make the impression of a good or intellectual person.
Well let's still be nice.
I try to give her a polite smile.
„I'd like that."
No I don't I'll make an even bigger fool of myself.
„Perfect I'll text you in the evening."
I hand her over my phone number.
„Sounds good."
Is this how girls make friends, if yes I'm generally concerned for them.
She just waves at me and heads into the meeting room, I can't imagine how late she'll be now.
Meh not my problem but my Math class is starting in about ten minutes, I should go there like now.
I make my way to class and try to attend it like nothing ever happened.
What a weird start to the day.

Ashys perspective

What a weird guy he is.
He'll make a funny new friend, he's probably thinking that way about me to.
I look at the time, oh shoot Volleyball practice starts in 2 minutes and I'm not even changed.
I sprint down the corridor to the Volleyball field and then to the changing rooms.
Well I'm to late, what a great day, missed all my classes thanks to the meeting to that I came to late and now I'm late for practice too.
We play Volleyball until the sun is nearly setting, what the hell is coach his deal, we've been practicing for four hours now, I want to go home.
I make my way home to lazy to change or shower here, I can do it at home, my parents are waiting.
The first thing I do at home is shower before my Mama calls me for dinner, we're sitting at the dinner table and suddenly I remember that I promised to text Clyde this evening.
„I'm finished I'll be in my room if you need me"
I manage to blurt out before running to my room, I immediately grab my phone and text him.
>hey here is Ashy sorry for texting you so late, I promise I didn't forget you, Volleyball just took longer than usual<
He directly answers, oh god he actually must have been waiting.
>No worries, I understand. It's good to hear from you.<
Why is he so nice about it, I text him nearly in the middle of the night and he's just like oh it's okay.
Might as well talk to him for a bit.
>I'm glad to hear from you too. How was your day?<
>It was okay, I had Math class, but I'm glad it's over now. How about you?<
>Well mine was alright, the meeting was a mess and volleyball was exhausting, but on the other hand I didn't have to attend lessons today because of the meeting.<
>Well at least you had a break from school. I'm jealous.<
>It's not always fun, I have to catch up a lot at home, I miss loads of classes because of the intense Volleyball trainings and all the meeting from the student leaders, I normally never manage to be home before eight pm and on the days I would I have the English advanced program<
Ugh why do I tell him my whole life story now, poor boy.
He must be so fed up with my shit.
>That's a lot. How do you keep up with all that?<
Does he actually care or is he only polite?
>I learn at night at home, I just sleep a bit less.<
>Don't you get tired?<
>Nah I drink enough coffee. But you killed my first one today, I nearly fell asleep in the meeting.<
>Oh, I'm sorry about that<
Oh shit, I didn't mean for him to feel bad, I should think before writing.
>Not your fault, I should look where I'm going.<
>Still I feel bad.<
Oh god what do I do about that now, he's not supposed to feel bad because of me.
>You really don't have to, think positive we both made a new friend today<
We are friends, aren't we?
I hope so at least...
>Yeah, I guess you're right<
>I like making new friends<
>Me too. I don't have many, so I'm glad I met you<
How can a guy like him not have many friends, he's literally on the basketball team, they are like the most popular guys in school.
Welp let's better change the subject.
>What college major do you have?<
>I'm taking science. I hope to become a engineer when graduating. What about you?<
>Oh, that's a cool job. I'm studying psychology, I want to be a therapist for children one day.<
>That's great, I'm sure you'll be a great one.<
>I like making people laugh and feel happy, mostly children they don't deserve a bad life.<
>You have a good heart.<
>Well I try my best.<
>I can tell that.<
Since when did he try to be so sweet?
