Boys

Nutella and I chatted on the phone the other and she told me this story.

Being the outgoing, friendly person that she is, she invited a friend to play basketball with her and some other friends. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about some family plans that she had previously made so when this friend (we'll call him - Steve) showed up at the basketball game, he was a little confused as to why she wasn't there.

When she returned home from her family event, she felt bad about what happened. So, she ran over to his apartment to explain what happened and to apologize. Due to the lateness of the hour she expected a quiet apartment and hoped he might even already be asleep. But that wouldn't be awkward enough! Instead there was an apartment full of strangers whose movie was interrupted by this girl barging in and looking for Steve.

When he wasn't in the front room she held onto the hope that he was already asleep, but his roommate assured her that he was just back in his room. While waiting for the roommate to fetch him, she explained to everyone what she needed to tell Steve, then she realized they didn't need to know.

When he finally came out, she realized that this was all a bit much to explain a simple scheduling error. Despite the error and the awkwardness they are still friends.
