Who Could It Be?

Tuesday, September 19th, 2017

Laying on the carpet reading is one of the best feelings in the world, especially when it's a good book and you lose track of time. But then, all of a sudden, the front door cracked open a little bit and a figure dressed in black peeked through, and then suppressed laughter reached my ears along with the words, "Oh shoot!". More suppressed laughter. Yet the door remained open just a crack. Somebody was doing something, and I had no idea who it was. I spoke out, "Yes? Come in." Nothing. Now my curiosity was indeed piqued. Getting up, I approached the front door and gave it a tug. And who do you think was standing there? It totally shocked me, and I never would have expected it to be them. Two freshman, Danny and Bradley, were standing there chuckling to themselves as if they'd pulled a great prank. "Hey, what're yall up to?"
Danny spoke first, struggling through his laughter, "Hi Leaf! Is Luke home?"
"No, he's not here right now."
"Oh, we were going to bother him if he was here." (both laugh again)
Bradley piped in, "Yeah, we were just going to bother him for the fun of it."
Danny again, "But if he's not here that's alright. Sorry for bothering you." (still half laughing)
Both, "See you later Leaf!"
"Ok, see ya around!"
And with that I went back inside and took up reading once more, while they went to apartment three. What for? Who knows, maybe they were just making the rounds for their list of people to bother. Those two are the best, you're bound to have a good time hanging out with them.

And that is yet another great reason to live on 6th street. You never know who'll pop in next! I really love just having chance meetings like this and letting life just run its course and see what happens. There is a place for planning fun things with friends, but don't ignore the little things that happen right in front of your face, sometimes they're the best!
