Prompt: An item: How you got it, and why it's important
I was so mad at him. I was mad at him because he was mad at me. This is stupid, I feel like I'm in middle school again. He was the one who first threw sand in my mouth and then now he's mad cause I got sand in his hair?
what a girl...
I had to complain to someone. So I stormed over to Gina, "Can you believe it, Gina. Jay's mad at me again"
"why?"
"cause I got sand in his hair"
"are you serious.."
"yeah, I know right"
"it's okay, he'll get over it."
I could see out the corner of my eye that Jay was looking at me talking to Gina. Knew that I was complaining about him but I didn't care. I was done with this friendship. I was sick of him acting like a big baby all the time.
We all got back into the cabs. Ready to go back to the hotel and shower because we had to catch our train back to the city.
Jay and I got into separate cabs of course. And in my cab, I was uncharacteristically quiet. I guess I went a little too far. shouldn't have dumped that much sand on his head. yeah..now that I think about it. it was kinda obnxious. man...it'll be weird not hanging out with Jay this week. I wonder how long it'll take him to get over it.
Five hours later I was on the train, sitting away from the group and starring out the window. I remember at one point Jay and I accidentally caught each other's eyes and it felt so weird not being able to talk to him.
Man who knew this vacation would end this way. stupid beach..we should have just gone to the aquarium.
And just as my eyes began to tear up, I see Jay walking towards me with a smile on his face. He sits on the empty seat next to me.
"Here" he hands me this colorful bracelet. the kind that looks like a middle school girl made it.
"What's this for" I ask.
"Idk...just saw it and thought of you. look I got one for myself too."
"omg...what's this supposed to be...our friendship bracelets?"
"yeah.."
"Ew..that's so corny. hahaha. but I kind of like it. Here tie it on my wrist"
"You better wear it forever" he said with a smile and got up and went back to our group of friends.
I looked at the bracelet, it really wasn't my style but I loved it. I was 20 years old and I finally had my first friendship bracelet.
