I hear my mother knocking on my door for the third time and I just wish
I could sleep some more. I’ve always loved lunches at Ryan’s house, but
since he left for college everything is different. Being alone among four
adults is horrible, however, we’ve been doing it for as long as I can
remember and I can’t back out now.

Saturday barbecue. What a nightmare. At least I used to have Ryan to
keep me busy, but he told me yesterday that he wouldn’t be there even this
weekend and I couldn’t come up with anything to avoid attending. This is
already the fourth weekend in a row that he has stood me up. He comes
home less and less. At the beginning of last year he would come back every
week, then the visits decreased to twice a month until it became only once a
month, and now not even that. Maybe he will come back for Christmas.
That is, if his current girlfriend doesn’t ask him to go to her place like she
did last year for Spring Break.
I get out of bed resignedly, when my mother threatens to break down the
door, and lock myself in the bathroom to shower and brush my teeth. I put
on sweatpants and a sweatshirt and go down to the kitchen to see what she
could possibly need so badly to wake me up at ten o’clock on a Saturday
morning.
-Look who’s up- my mother says as soon as she spots me leaning against
the kitchen door.
-How can I be of assistance to you, my Lady?- I say still half asleep,
despite the shower.
-Candy called. She needs you to go buy some things for her. They’re
needed for lunch- Ryan’s mother misses her son at least as much as I do.
-Of course, I’ll go right away- I say walking toward the door to go to the
neighbor’s house for the shopping list.
Candy, with the same wonderful blue eyes as her son, hugs me as soon
as she sees me and then thanks me six times for offering to go grocery
shopping for her.
Apparently, she called my mother to ask her if she needed anything at
the supermarket while she went and my mother said I would volunteer
because I was already planning to go on my own. Traitor.
The trip to the supermarket takes longer than it should because I’m half
asleep and possibly starving. Heck, I haven’t even had breakfast yet.
I pay for what I bought and decide to have a coffee at the coffee shop
across the street. I don’t think I can make it all the way home without
getting run over if I don’t eat something right away.
Behind the counter I find Ellie, a school friend of mine who has pursued
me since we were in middle school and whom I have always rejected. She
makes my coffee and ogles me the whole time I stay in the damn coffee
shop to drink it.
