Unexpected

After school, as I was walking with my friend, Nida, to my mom's car, Nida saw her friend and waved. (what a boring sentence that was) With her friend were three other girls, who evidently needed a ride home. I was hesitant to give them a nod yes because I thought my mom would get mad, thinking that I think she's running a public transportation system. No, Mummy, you're not. Thankfully, she, unlike me, didn't think twice and let them in. "Where to?" I ask, "7-11 at Garfield and Bushard. We can walk home from there." To Garfield we go! But, instead of taking a left, my mom took a right at the staff parking lot exit. We've past at least three streets until my mom points out that she can't find Garfield, and the girls say that we're going the opposite direction. Now, if this were with any of my other friends, or me, my mom would've given this big, entire lecture on how to properly speak when giving directions. Thank God she didn't. So, she take a U-turn, and now we're off to Garfield. We're driving and driving, and the girls are just so chipper and talking the ride away, you can't help but crawl out of your shell and join them. We finally arrive at 7-11 and it's time to depart. The girls tell us that we better start waving hi to them at school. We've just made three new friends. It's odd how you make friends easily in the oddest situations, isn't it?
