A Night at the Symphony


My friend Janie is a music minor and has to go to ten concerts in the year. So she decided to go to this recent one and invited me. This was perfect, since I had been planning on going. So we made plans to meet up a couple of hours earlier to study in the library.

She said she would text me and tell me when she was there. She never contacted me. Yeah...forever alone. So I decided to go by myself. Yeah...forever alone.

So I got there and I saw Janie's friend, Jake. I've met him a couple of times and he is a nice guy. So we made eye contact and did that weird and awkward head nod that people do.

Well, jump ahead an hour and I am finally going to the symphony. So I get over there and I text Janie wondering where she is. She replied that she was going to be late, like thirty minutes late.

Okay, that changes things.

Suddenly, since I was standing off to the side texting her, an usher came up to me and said that I looked familiar. He got so close to me, it freaked me out. Then out of nowhere, Jake appeared. I gave him this pleading face. My look was a smile and STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND DON"T LEAVE ME HERE!

Thankfully he understood and waited until I edged myself away from the usher.

So finally we were able to attend the symphony. I started to look around and guess what everyone was wearing... suits and dresses. Yeah... Jake was wearing shorts, I was wearing jeans and we both were wearing t-shirts. Also, because he was in the library, Jake still had his backpack. We were so under dressed that people started giving us looks. We decided that it was best to sit up in the balcony.

The music was nice, but I was already tired and so it made me want to fall asleep right then and there. Then I looked over and saw Jake playing games on his phone. What a great idea! So I followed his example and we made it through the concert without falling asleep and thus drawing more attention to ourselves.

It was an eventful night at the symphony.
