Cory knew Roger was happy. It was like a party to him, having the whole bunch in the mini-van.
Nick was all cuddly with Kelsy, and Amanda was even happy holding Kyle's hand along the way. But Kyle stayed mute. He seemed so much older than he remembered. Not a hint of who he used to be.
Cory couldn't imagine what had happened. But Kyle was OK, he was there for Amanda every step, holding her close even touching her belly in hopes of a nudge from the baby. There was a moment when everyone stared at Amanda's stomach in awesomeness. It could shake all on its own.
They'd listen to Nick gush about Kelsey and all her awards with improv.
"Well, I never would have tried it if it hadn't been for Roger," she shrugged. She felt certain he should have been the one with the awards, but he hadn't. "I just don't get it?"
"Sometimes, you just have to be at the right place at the right time," Roger was a bit quiet about that. Seriously, Cory had to wonder if their coach hadn't let him participate as much since he thought Roger as unpredictable or was it because he was gay?
Cory wouldn't get in to it. Roger seemed OK about it. Like it didn't matter to him.
"I told Mr. Chapman what I thought," Kelsy then said. "And I know he didn't like it, but I got you a spot on our next tournament. You're going, Roger."
"I am?" Roger winced.
"Isn't that the overnight one?" Cory looked at Kelsey
"Yeah, at the state university," Kelsey smiled.
Cory just nodded. This was the last thing he thought he'd hear after going to a movie.
"How about IHOP?" He then asked. It was time for a bit of celebration, even if was just coffee and pie.
IHOP. lol It seems like everyone's talking about it. I hear about that place more than I used to. =]
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Roger is going to do some Improv.
ReplyDeleteIts good to see them doing things together. & now, roger going to this tournment. Hmmm..what could happen?
ReplyDeleteThe whole gang together. Well, almost. I hope Eric gets this worked out & Ellie too.
ReplyDeleteEverything's changing.. Ellie is discovering she isn't who she used to be, now it's Kyle.. And yes, change frightens me too, but we all have to accept it. Change is only natural, and as long as you don't look back, it doesn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteThey did change a lot since the beginning of the story... I hope it's for the best. =]
ReplyDeleteYup, that's what friends are for, right? ^^
Well, that and if you ever get dumped by someone. Then they call them up and say they're gonna die in seven days. xD
