TRANSCRIPT
You know what time it is? It’s story time a I said it’s story time. Alright, so today I wanna tell you a story about my ride or die. My best friend. So. I have to be very careful with the names that I use in this story just in case they watch this video later. So this was when I was in college.
Now I had dated a guy all through high school at the beginning of high school, and we also kind of hooked up a little bit through throughout college, but we weren’t together at the time of this story. So my best friend and I, we were going to another friend’s event and this guy just happened to also be at the event.
So myself, you know, I was going and my ride or die, my best friend was coming with me. So we were at the event and we were actually sitting at a table about to eat lunch and she and I were sitting there talking and the guy, the one I used to date. Sat right in front of us. So it was my friend and I sitting next to each other, and then the guy sat in front of us.
Now, we didn’t have a bad breakup, but it was still a little bit awkward between us. So he sat down and he started talking. Now, of course, he was looking at me. He, he knew my best friend, um, but he was talking to me and my best friend could tell that. I wasn’t necessarily comfortable. I wasn’t nervous. It was more of why, why are we talking like we’re not together and you know, you’re with somebody else?
I’m not. I’m confused why he’s sitting here. That was going on in my mind and my best friend picked it up. So he’s sitting there talking to me and the conversation kind of dwindles and kind of stops a little bit and he’s just sitting there looking at me. So my best friend, let me tell you something about her.
Yes, she’s my ride or die, but she’s also a very reserved person. Like we learned. She’s a little bit shy and she’s not really the person you’ll see make the first step or make the first introduction. She’s kind of shy. So I was sitting there and the guy was looking at me and I was looking at him and it was getting a little bit awkward and my best friend who was reserved said.
Why are you still sitting here? And she was talking to him. It caught me off guard and he looked at her, she said, if you’re done, it’s okay to walk away. Now the thing is she’s a very reserved person. She doesn’t normally do things like that. So I looked at her because it caught me off guard. And then I looked at him and he looked at her, and then he looked back at me.
Just shrugged my shoulders because I didn’t know what to say. She said It’s okay for you to walk away. It’s okay if the conversation is done. And he did walk away. Now, don’t get me wrong, we’re all still friends. Like this happened a long time ago. But in that moment I realized my best friend may be reserved, but when she needs to talk.
When she needs to speak up, she will. Let’s just say he never started an awkward conversation with me again when she was around. Now, since that time, we’ve had many conversations. We’ve talked a lot on the phone and everything. He and I, but I will never forget that situation because my friend, the reserved person that I thought would never speak up in certain situations.
Actually spoke up to stand up for me in that situation. So maybe you have a friend like that too, your ride or die that maybe he or she is reserved or seems like they wanna be in the background, but when it’s time they speak up and stand up for you. So it was a shorter story today, but something that I will never, ever forget.
All right guys. I hope you enjoyed today’s lesson. I hope you learned a lot, and I hope you continue to study English. I will see you next week.
Wonderful technique of story-telling!
You are just the best
