Ever since college, you’ve been in the same friend group. A group of 5, and out of all of them, you were closest with Evan.

You two were always chatting it up whenever you hung out with the others.

Your friends loved partying, always going out on Fridays. You, never being that interested in drinking, were the designated driver. You didn’t mind it that much. You liked to make sure everyone got home safely. You’d drive them there, to the club then walked them to their doors.

One friday came up and you get a message in the groupchat. One by one, they all canceled the friday plan, saying they all had other things that came up. For once in a while you had a free friday.

You decided to head to the arcade, play a few games, eat some greasy food and enjoy a few drinks.

While eating, you heard a loud laugh…it sounded familiar. You looked over and saw all your friends in a group, playing some games and drinking.

Your heart dropped. You thought they all had plans ?

One of your friends made eye contact, suddenly freezing. They turned to the others, motioning towards you. Evan looked over, his eyes widening then an immediate look of guilt. He looked like a kicked puppy…and you felt like one.
