I had just put down my pen to take a few minutes to ponder why maths was in the school's curriculum at all and why I hadn't been born with a penchant for the subject seeing as it was necessary for survival in high school when I received a text from an unknown number.
Unknown number: hey love
Love, I scrunched my brows in beffudlement. Could this be Cole? But he usually texted with a private number.
Me: who's this?
Unknown number: The one, the only. The one and only
Unknown number: *insert drumroll*
Unknown number: Josh
I burst into laughter at that, it was Josh.
Me: Josh 😂, yooo
I quickly saved his number
Josh: wah gwan sis?
Me: huh, what does that mean?
Josh: it's Jamaican patois for what's going on? What's happening? What's up girl?
Josh: glad I could teach you something today. *Adjusts clothes in self importance*
Me: 😅😅 oh
Me: I'm doing fine wbu?
Josh: okayish, I came up with an idea actually
Me: go ahead
Josh: it's cara's birthday tomorrow and I'd like us to do something for her.
Josh: quick disclaimer: it is with trembling shame I'm forced to confess it wasn't actually my idea, I can't remember birthdays to save my life.
Me: LMAO
The disclaimer part was funny
Me: so what're we to do?
Jokes aside, I was eager to help
Josh: let's visit a store and get her something nice, not a very original or sweet, lovey dovey idea I know. But it's the best I could come up with and what's that popular saying?
Josh: it's the thought that counts right?
Me: I guess so
Josh: so you ready to go?
Me: ready? It's right away? Like now, immediately?
Josh: yupp, I apologise for it being on short notice *doffs imaginary hat*
Josh: would you rather wait till it's 7pm? It's fine by me either way
Me: Josh!!!
Josh: please
Josh: I'll drive you to the store and back, it'll be no stress at all(not promised though). But Pretty please
Me: How long will it take for you to get here?
Josh: about twenty minutes, so by 4:20pm, I'll be at your doorstep.
Me: you still remember where I live?
Josh: yes, and it's all thanks to the amazing confectionery store not too far away from where you live.
