It had been a few months since the weekend Brian and I spent together at my house while my family was away. We never had a chance to get together after that since Brian had gone off to a college a little over an hour away and I was at a local college living home.
One Monday night in October Brian called to tell me his roommate was leaving Thursday afternoon to spend the weekend with his girlfriend at her college and ask if I wanted to come up and stay a few days. He and a few new friends he made there were going to the school's football game on Saturday but those were the only plans they had for now.
I thought about it and since I only had one class on Friday I would ask a friend to take notes. I could leave Thursday afternoon right after my last class and be there aound 4:30 I told him, he replied good I'll take you out for dinner.
I could hardly wait for Thursday to come the next couple of days seemed to take forever. Finally Thursday was here, I kept looking at the clock waiting for class to get over. When it was over I hopped in my car which I had already packed and hit the road. It was around 5:00 when I arrived, I stopped at the first payphone I found and rang Brian's room he met me outside his dorm to show me where to park. He grabbed my bag and took me to his room.
"Brain": So how do you like my room?
"Bob": Nice and cramped I see!
We both laughed since all his room had was his and his roommate's beds two dressers and desks and not much more room than that.
"Brian": What do you want for dinner?
"Bob": I don't care you know the area what's good?
"Brian": There's a small place that serves seafood and steaks that's pretty good and it's in walking distance.
