Sharing my night sky with you~

Last Wednesday, Jam was convinced that she should've come to ultimate with the rest of us. However, her piano lessons ended at 6 while ultimate started at 6:30. The bus ride there however was an hour long. Therefore, being the amazingly great friend I am, i volunteered to stay behind and wait for her. It was Canada Day and I was extremely bummed out that I wasn't able to watch fireworks with anyone since all fireworks were canceled due to the worker's strike. As the clock struck 6 Jam met up with me and we bussed there. The majority of the day was just filled with drills and scrimmages. I did however meet a person called Micheal Wong. He was from UTS and we paired up for some weird cup hitting game. We proceeded to win the event and claim two five dollar Tim Cards. To this point I still think he won the event alone. I only got a couple of points here and there but not really anything too consistent. He thought I was silly because I would not take credit for the win.


Later on as it got dark, I wanted to bring Jam home early so she wouldn't get into any trouble. As we bussed be talked for another hour or so about things that really did not matter. Much like most of my other discussion topics, whatever I said was probably meaningless, but it was nice talking to her. When we go to Kennedy and Sheppard the intersection near her house, we both did not want to go home. So like most hyperactive teenagers that didn't want to go home, we did the only reasonable thing and bought gigantic slushies from the gas station. I really do not know why gas stations love selling slushies but it did not matter because I loved slushies. Mine was either red or orange while Jam had a combination drink. If I remembered correctly, it was delicious! I had craved slushies for the longest of time trying substitutes such as popsicles and freezes but none had satisfied my thirst for the almighty slushy.

We spent some time wandering the streets when we heard our first bang. Little did we know that it would lead to bigger things. We decided to follow the sound of the bang and had begun to see shiny colours. Yes, it was a Christmas miracle in July. Apparently, some very rich individuals had bought their own fireworks and were lighting them up from different locations. Jam and I sat there with our slushies in the back parking lot of the local Wal-Mart for a good thirty minutes watching the shiny colours. I was thrilled and she could see that in my eyes. Even though I have no strong feelings for Jam, it was still one of the most romantic things I had ever done. Just sitting under a colour lit sky with someone and my favourite drink. I think if anything I was having a romantic moment with my slushy. The fireworks made my day, week, and possibly month. Jam was happy as well. I then walked her home and gave her a hug. It was then that I realized hugging her was a difficult task. She tippy toed and I bent down, yet she could still barely look over my shoulder. The lesson I learned today is that hugging is made easier when sitting down.
