She was late; I sighed. It was really hard to keep up with a best friend who couldn't even keep the rules of punctuality. I stared at my wristwatch, 3:32, she was supposed to be here 62 minutes ago. I was starting to ask myself why I was still here waiting when a waitress walked up to my table.
"I'm sorry, it's been over an hour you've been sitting here with this cake you order, are you waiting for someone?".
"Uh... yeah I am".
"And the person hasn't showed up for about an hour?" She asked with a questioning look that immediately dropped seconds after.
"I'm sorry, it isn't my business, enjoy your waiting",she said giving me a wave as she shasayed away. I felt so humiliated, I couldn't take it anymore, stood up, left the cake and walked the restaurant. She was the one who decided to spend her birthday here with me.. just the two of us, and now she didn't even show up. I groaned and took out the movie tickets that were in my hoodie, they were her birthday presents, I was taking her to see her favorite movie. I took out my phone and tried calling her but it didn't go through.
"Could this day get any worse?" I thought, and just like a response, thunder struck and rain poured.
"Seriously!!" I yelled out and quicked my pace till I reached a bustop, I sat down and tried reaching her again but it still didn't go through.
"Where are you, Sam", and just then my phone rang, "Sam!" I said hopefully, not bothering to check the caller.
"No Dave, it's me, Zoey"
I sighed, "Hey sis, what's up".
"Where are you, have you checked the news?" She was talking with her concerned tone, but I was too worried about Sam to bother.
"Listen Zoey, I'll talk to you later. I've got to reach Sam, bye".
"But Dave-" I hung up, I was about trying Sam's number again when I heard..
"Dave?"I froze for a second and looked up, standing in front of me was my bestie in the blue hoodie I had bought for her last week, her long black hair was down which she doesn't do, but only on...
