Small WIP

We went out bowling, there isn't really much to do in this town.
Unless you wanna eat somewhere else.
True.
...
I wasn't really there, you know?
We had a lot of fun.
I couldn't strike to save my life.
You really couldn't but it was fun.
I suppose it was, assuming I was there.
The pizza was so greasy. I could barely stomach 3 slices.
Why did you get a whole one again?
I'm not sure. At least there's leftovers.
Something to look forward to, assuming that we finish it.
We made sure to drop it off.
What did we do after?
We stopped by the skate park.
There's a bridge just beside it, that's how we find it.
You really excel at it.
I get to see it from a bit away so I'm never caught up in the momentum.
Some of the older folks wanted to tear it down, raise the property value. Supposedly.
They just want to stop being bothered having to hear kids have fun.
Does anyone else still use this place?
I think so? It's possible it's just us. Considering they stopped their complaining.
It's not the same anymore huh.
Yea, at least I don't eat it anymore.
I wish the mall was still open.
Even if you didn't have money at least there was stuff to look at.
Well at least we have the time to reminice about it all.
I feel stuck here.
Same.
Why didn't we ever pursue that degree?
I don't know. Couldn't ever come to a decision I suppse.
Not like anyone saw the value in it.
At least there were opportunities here.
And we can visit family whenever we want.
Stick with childhood friends too.
Is there anything else you'd change?
Hmmm.
I mean it's not like there aren't a million things this place could use but... Just one.
I'd change my name.
What would you be called?
... Jamie.
Why would you change it? If you're comftorable I mean.
There's a lot of reasons really. I don't like *@*R%, I feel like *@*R% never really had any goals, and Jamie feels better.
A new name, a fresh start. I can see the appeal in that at least. Should we start using Jamie?
I don't know... I'm scared.
Of what? Change?
I don't know, maybe? Maybe others?
Start small? Maybe something gradual will be easier? Or you could just do so much that nobody can even keep up and they're forced to adapt?
Why is it always this roof?
What do you mean?
Why does this roof always lead to these sorts of things. These questions and reflections.
I think it's the view of the stars.
You think?
I can't be sure but... Something about looking out and seeing something so pretty in a place no one else will bother. It soothes me.
You're right.
So Jamie?
Jamie.
How long are we gonna reminice to ourselves out here.
A few minutes longer at least. And if not that, I want to stay for the sky.
A few minutes at least then.
