Something unusual that happened today

  

     Something weird happened that day, and I wonder if I will see that guy ever again.  

     I was sent to the supermarket by my mother to go buy some groceries because she just got home from work and was very tired. She gave me a list of what to buy as she knew that i would probably forget what to buy.

     I got the stuff my mother needed very quickly and checked almost everything off the list she gave me. The only thing left was some cereal so that i would not go to school on a empty stomach. I searched for the brand which i liked the best, and when I found it, I only saw one box left. "Must be my lucky day to get the last box" I thought to myself, but before i could reach it, someone took it.

     My heart sank, the last box of my favourite cereal brand was taken away by someone. But, as i started to walk away disappointed, that guy walked to me and passed to me the box of cereal. I was thinking, why would he give me the cereal, but a closer look at him allowed me to realise the reason. He was my good old friend way back from kindergarden, we lost contact with each other since primary two and have not seen or spoken to each other ever since. He knew that I like this cereal, and I thought that was why he gave it to me, his memory must be really good to even remember that.

     He and I talked for what seemed like only a few seconds, although in actual fact it was hours. Our parents were calling us to ask where we were and we had to go our seperate ways. I hope I see him again someday and I learnt that true friendships really last long.
