Creative Writing: All Around the Corner

Mornings would normally be a 7 oclock rise, day beginning at 830, released at 320. Today, being the holidays, I sack drag myself a bureau from all this for a blissful lie in. A bliss broken by the bringing of the phone. yeah right I thought to myself. Answer, dont dish up? Give up my wings, propitiate in heaven? The choice being obvious, I returned to my daydreaming. However, the rarity of a phone call for me rather than anyone else in the house make me answer the second time round. What a mistake. It was Katie, the definition of moron, ringing for a chat. I gave up my warm bed to hear her wining voice wine in my ear.Yeah I said. I could nourish been agreeing to a heart interchange for all I knew but I thought Id better channelise I was close up on the another(prenominal) end of the lineregrettably yes was the wrong answer. It then alikek me a while of bluffing to find out Id agree to go for a drink. Catch up. I no longer tangle worthy of my blankets. waistbanda was my rem edy. The friendship Sasha and I shared could not be draw as life long, simply because I only met her 6 months agone when she set offd here. However, I dont see how time can predict how beneficial a friends you are. We click, and we have fun, Were in that respect for each other, and we communicate each other space when needed. Sounds like a spacious friendship to me.A surmount friend always have a go at its what you need. In my case, my best knows my great need of the sell variety. All lifes troubles can be thrown aside in a good few hours at the shops.Wait How superb. The frock Sasha was admiring could only be described as a Sasha dress. Only she could pull off much(prenominal) extravagant styles and colours and yet assuage appear so pocketable and respectable. It makes you wonder who else buys these things. Maybe theres a bigger population of Sashas out there than first thought.And so we hit the shops. The trick is, not to let them know you have absolutely no money what soever. Give the illusion that you have it, you just see no need to spend it. However, the small meter of cash we do posess usually goes on the much-needed hourly revival break.We took the sit unoccupied, partially shared with two mid-thirties women. The gossip they didnt mind share-out with the world was amazing. Law suits, affairs, bribery, all coming from one womans life. Of course this left the other woman to demonstrate listening techniques distant too ambitious for an average human being. By the look on her face, she seemed to be cerebration of something soothing. Chocolate perhaps.It was hard to have our own conversation while still listening to this womans life story, and so drank silently, occasionally attempting short conversations to cover the incident that, lets face it, the world is a nosy place.A nudge on my leg from Sasha made my leg really sore, but also made me realise who it was standing behind me. I arrived with Sasha for support. I knew that if Katie showe d her real variant self then Id need back up. Sasha had said she didnt mind, so if she was fabrication she should learn to tell the truth. I turned round to Katie. She sat down, taking the place of the really good listener who had now left with her friend. Katies rim opened, and my ears shut, if they could do such a thing. Its not even as if my tautness span is normally this small. I began to think, which do I really prefer. beetleweed or Cadburys?So how are you all? Katies manner can be described as nothing but perky. This was a pointless point from the start. Were obviously still living or else wed have given drinks a miss.Not really been up to much have we Sasha. Usually the case. ennui seeps round every corner. What is there to do when youre this age? Your either too old to do what you used to, or too young to move on. Never any money, allowance doesnt go anywhere near far enough.Familys been doing my head in at the moment. Acting like I still need the potty training. S asha always uses these chats to get her family problems off her chest. They just give me no respect. The other day I began to tell them of the trip we whitethorn plan. Do you have any idea how tormenting they can be. Yeah, perhaps they do have my best interests at heart but come on, I can look after myself. With this I have to agree. Ive met Sashas family, and the independence they give her, though very loving, is invisible, simply because it doesnt exist.It was hard not to notice how Katie, even with her chirpy attitude, had managed to dampen our spirits so much.Got the energy for another shop Sash? I personally didnt have the energy to lift my feet, but I wanted to move on from this subject. I didnt feel the same way about my family. Only last month I became a great grandma. It isnt all bad.
