Hey. I should have written sooner, cause a lot has gone on these last few days, but I didn't feel like it. Well, let's see, On Friday Jimmy was supposed to come home with me on the bus, then he'd spend the night, and Saturday we'd go surfing or something. And George was going to stay after school then get a ride to Dorado and meet me at home, then we'd practice for the talent show and he'd leave around 8 or something. On Fri. George tells me he's going on the bus too. Well, I was the only one going to Dorado on Fri., because the little kids had no school, and everyone else was doing something I guess, but anyways, when I get on the bus, Manuel is waiting with the engine on, he wants to leave right away. I tell him to wait cause I have 2 friends coming too. Then he says that he can't wait for them and anyways they need a permission slip from the office to ride on the bus. Then he starts leaving, and I'm like, I can't just leave them here, so he lets me call to see if I can get Papi to take us home or something, but I can't, then as I'm hanging up Jim comes and tells me 'he doesn't feel like going.' I'm like, f**k, nothing's working out. But there's still George, and he's nowhere to be found. I tell Jim to tell George that he can't come with me, then I have to leave. I get home, blah blah, then the doorbell rings. It turns out that Alan brought George home, then they both stayed and we played. When it came time to leave, George couldn't get a taxi, so he was gonna walk. To RIO HONDO! It turned out the guard agreed to take him for $20. So I was satisfied, and I went home. Yesterday, George's parents call and they say they haven't heard from George in 2 days. Later, George calls and says he's OK. Well, I guess it all turned out OK, I'm just glad he's OK, cause I lent him $15 <g>. Later.
