Sometimes, life is even more ridiculous than a NaNoWriMo novel.
Tonight was one of those rare nights where everything seemed to be pretty peachy. Besides the fact that the temperature had dropped to the freezing point of water, I was enjoying myself while stuffing my face with pizza and conversing with Alex, his brother Will, and Will's friend Erik about stupid people. In fact, I even managed to squeeze some words out of normally wordless Erik! Life was going well.
Upon leaving Christian's dough topped with a boiling layer of grease Pizza, Alex's mom said that she needed to get milk and some other stuff at the grocery store. Alex exclaimed that he wanted to go as well, so the two of us went with her.
Shoot, even the grocery store trip was fun! I met up with Hannah, Alex and I were super hyper, and his mom was being her usual sarcastically hilarious self.
We got to the checkout. I should have known that when Alex's pack of Mentos got stuck in the self-checkout's conveyor belt and forced the tech service guy to come fix the stupid thing, the night had a possibility of getting rather crazy. Honestly, it was the sole item that Alex was purchasing, and the blasted register screen didn't have a "Cancel Order" button or anything like that. It simply locked up and had a blinking light go off, signaling that we had a problem.
So, it was while we were waiting here for help that Will and Erik came frantically charging into the store. According to Will, their parents' Lincoln Navigator needed a jump, and his dad was wondering if one of Alex's coworkers at Quizno's down the sidewalk could provide this service. We went down there after Alex got his Mentos and called Dalton who was thankfully working. Dalton walked us to his car, opened the trunk, and discovered that lo! There were no jumper cables there! Alex thanked him, and we walked to the gas station to break the bad news to his dad.
"Well, I can get the cables in the gas station! All I need is a car!" he told us.
Alex made the "Oh my GOD, this is the most insane night of my life" face while I snickered at how strangely entertaining the affair had become. Alex called Dalton again and asked him if he could drive up to where we were and give the Navigator a jump since we now had cables.
A few minutes later, Dalton drives up. Guess who was in the passenger seat of his car?
Take a guess. I'll give you a clue: she has red hair, she used to date Alex, and she is currently fighting tooth and nail to get him back.
...
No? You have no idea who it could have been?
Well, I will tell you, I had never been so infuriated in my entire life that this little wench had decided to involve herself in this mess. I ran around to the back of the Navigator where Alex's mom, Will, and Erik were waiting to load up the groceries.
"HE BROUGHT HEATHER WITH HIM!" I hissed to Alex's mom. She asked me what she was doing here, and I told her I hadn't the faintest idea.
After the groceries were loaded, we children were told to hop into the car. The jump was successful, and we made it back to Alex's house.
I swear, at times, my life is more ridiculous than the novel I'm currently penning. (And let me assure you, that's pretty bad.)
Anyway, now that I have given all of you a nice little distraction from your day-to-day lives, I have some noveling to do.
