My weekend
I was really looking forward to spending time with a boy name Piki, my brother’s friend from Whanganui City College, but when Saturday finally arrived, he messaged me saying he couldn’t make it because he had already made plans to hang out with his other friends, which left me feeling a bit disappointing since I’ve been planning this hangout all week. Despite the initial letdown, I decided to make the most of my Saturday by catching up on my favorite shows and helping my mom with some chores around the house, all while wondering what Piki and his friends were up to on their adventure across town.
The next day turned out much better when Piki finally showed up at our doorstep with a bright smile, suggesting we should visit some mutual friends who lived on the other side of town, which instantly lifted my spirits. We spent hours at our friends’ house, talking, laughing, and playing video games until the night sky was filled with stars and streetlights began illuminating the path home. After what felt like six hours of non-stop fun and conversation, we finally decided to head home, walking slowly through the quiet streets while Piki told me all about his day with his other friends yesterday, making me realize that sometimes waiting an extra day for something good is totally worth it.
