Happy Birthday

“Yo, what’s up Birthday Boy. How does it feel to be 18?” John smiles and says, “Good but is that the only reason that you are calling me.”

There is a pause, “Is that not a good enough reason.”

John pauses before saying no that is fine but it is just that you have not reached out in a while I thought that you would be too busy. I know you and your boyfriend have been very busy lately. I called on your birthday but you never picked up.”

There is a pregnant pause from her before she says, “Yeah sorry about that. That is on me, well anyways my boyfriend and I broke up so you want to go play some COD tonight in celebration of your birthday. Just like the good old days?”
