The Summer that changed my life forever...

Brok: "My initials start with the same letter."

(took me forever to spell "initials."

(AP, did we have characters interacting? What did Gregory do?)

Dakota: "Yeah, uhm, that doesn't help much," I played dumb.

Brok: I chuckled. "Come on. You'll get it."

(i know we had characters interacting, but i don't remember what he did)

Dakota: "Oh, you must be the guy I met at the club last night! Or no, the one from the bar? Ohhh I know, the one from eHarmony!"

(whoops. I didn't answer. he took her hand.)

Essy: "Your hand is very soft," I said.

Brok: I laughed. "Very funny. Seriously, what's my name?"

Gregory: I smiled. "Thank you."

Dakota: "Ohhh you're the one from the arcade. Hi Brok." I smiled, even though he couldn't see through the phone.

Essy: I frowned. That smile really was familiar. "I really think I know you," I said. "I just can't remember anything."

Brok: I laughed. "Yes, that's my name. See? Was that so hard? So, you free right now?"

Dakota: I frowned. "Actually no, I'm not. I'm working." I was suddenly jealous that he didn't have to work. Well, he had to perform, but that was different. He could play at the arcade all he wanted, and not worry about the money.

Brok: "Oh," I said. I forgot she had work. My job didn't even feel like work because I enjoyed it so much. "I'm really sorry about that. When do you get off?"

Gregory: My smile widened when she said that.

Essy: I looked around. "Is anyone else here?"

Gregory: "Your family is just outside the room. Do you want me to go get them?"

Dakota: "Don't be sorry," I wanted to add something else, but it was kind of a mean thing to say so I stopped myself just in time. Why was I suddenly bitter? UGH. "four."

Essy: I frowned. "I have a family?"

Brok: Well, it was two. That wasn't too long to wait. "Okay. Well, I'll call you at four then," I said, although I was already getting up to get my keys.

Gregory: I smiled and patted her hand. "Yes, you do."

Dakota: "...Okay. Bye..." I hung up with a sigh. Now the next two hours would drag.

Essy: "Oh," I said.

Brok: I left a note for the other guys and headed down to the music store I'd seen Dakota in yesterday.

Gregory: "I'll go get them." I said and left.

(alyson: are you still doing the challenge?)

Dakota: I made sure all the music was in order...it was tedious.

Essy: "Okay," I said.

Brok: I walked in to see Dakota working and slipped over to the CD section.

Dakota: I finished that part, and moved onto setting up some display that the boss handed me.
