Eric...a Part 2

"Eric! I can't believe you came." Amy said.

She opened her arms and moved forward to hug me. I wrapped my arms around her. It felt good to see her again. She was dressed in black and was barefoot. Her hair was in a pony tail. Her brown eyes looked high, but not from pot. She looked energized by something else.

"How are you?" She asked.

"Good. I am sorry I never answered your messages. I have been getting used to College." I said

"You are here now. That is nice."

She told me about how her business venture was going. She said it gave her a sense of purpose. She was soon to get her medical marijuana distributor license, and that this party was the last type party she was going to have. Amy was going to be serious about her future and this was her way of saying goodbye to the past. I commented that I thought she looked very motivated. I told her that the desire that now filled her suited her perfectly.

"You always said the nicest things to me before. I am glad you are here. I know you probably feel out of place, but every moment with me must have felt like this." She laughed.

"Almost every moment felt odd." I said. "You were great."

"How is college life?" She asked.

"It's too structured." I said.

"Meet any one new?"

"No. I haven't"

"Do you still put on my sister's thong? You left here with it that day."

I was surprised she mentioned it. I tried not to look too fazed by her question.

"I am joking." She said.

"How's Rick, anyway?" I asked.

"He was around here. Something tells me you came by to see him."

"Amy, I came to see you." I said.

She was very perceptive. Part of me did want to see Rick. As for the thong, I was wearing it.

"I have some things to do, but I want you to know that we should stay in touch. Not just me, but you returning my messages. I mean it. I want to stay friends. You stood up for me... I was an outcast at that school. I will always have a love for you." Amy said.
