Every Thursday is volleyball from 9pm~11pm and sometimes, we want to hang out with each other longer so we'll plan to go to Denny's or TGI Friday's. Last night was... Interesting.
So our friend Danny tells some people that we're going to TGI Friday's. Sean, an autistic church mate, overhears and wants to come so he tries to get a ride from people. (he doesn't drive so he needs to depend on rides from people) and he ended up finding a ride from Brandon (another weird kid from church).
We all head to TGI Friday's and the first people to arrive is Allen, Celeste, Glenn, Danny, Matt and I. Then I see Sean come in with Brandon and some guy who introduced himself to me as "George" (if I remember correctly) and the people who already arrived think nothing of it. But now that I think of it, he only introduced himself to me.
The waitress found an area for us to sit in so we all go and get seated. Suddenly, Brandon tells us that he has to leave because he has a curfew and was only there to bring Sean so he goes over to Sean and tells him to get a ride from someone else (to go home) so Sean asked Danny and he said it was okay. Then Matt and I look at each other and wonder about this kid George because if Sean came with Brandon, then George needs a ride too, right? (assuming they came together) Matt and I became suspicious so we asked Sean, "How do you guys know each other?" and Sean replied, "Oh, we met just right now!" (upbeat voice) and that didn't help ease our suspicion.
While Matt and I sat in front of Sean, we were overhearing his conversation with George:
Sean: So are you a member of the church?
George: No, I'm not.
Sean: Ooh, that's cool. What church do you go to?
George: A church far from here.
Sean: Oh, I see. So when did you get baptized?
George: When I was younger.
Sean: I got baptized last year in April. At what age were you baptized?
George: (does a "zero" sign with his hand)
Sean: Ahhhhhhhhh, gotcha, gotcha.
I couldn't stop looking at George because there was something obvious about him and I really thought he's on drugs because no one knew about him and where he came from but we all weren't telling him to leave. But the waiter took our orders for our drinks and food and George ordered some chicken salad. Slowly, our food started to come and the waitress came in with the chicken salad and was calling one of us to see if it was our order, no one ordered it but George but his eyes were widen and fixated on the TV screen and didn't hear the order but we ended up helping him out. It was super weird! And then our right side of the table started to talk about TV shows from Pretty Little Liars to Vampire-related TV shows and then we started to talk about Breaking Bad. Suddenly, George started to chime in and said that he has tried crystal meth and was telling us how to smoke it... We all looked at each other like, "WTF is up with this kid?"
Then he suddenly became quite and started watching the football game on the TV screen. We all chatted and laughed as if he wasn't there but I was in the middle (as always) between the right side and left side. The left side (Celeste, Glenn, Allen, Sean) and the right side (Matt, Danny, Jacqueline, Gary and George) and I was flip-flopping both conversations and I just was so iffy about this kid.
Matt and I came to the conclusion that this kid was on something. Even though there are some psychedelic weed out there, this kid was on something else and I was thinking it was LSD because his eyes were freaken wide like he was super alert all the time and he was slow in his reactions and he was just... Out there. Not spaced out like weed but like... Out there. And when we all were kind of slowing down and wanted to pack up our food, George took his fork and started eating Danny's food and he looked at him like, "Wtf are you doing right now?"
Eventually, we all had to leave so we asked for the bill... We all paid and the waiter was waiting for George to pay and told him, "Whenever you're ready, let me know..." and George said okay. We all already paid so we were ready to go and we all started to get up and walk out but George got up, ready to leave with us but Matt and I were in the front of the line and we told the waiter to watch for this kid. Later on, we all were outside but we were missing Sean so Danny goes back for him to find him paying for George! Sean doesn't have a job (he can't get a job because of his disability) and so we were shocked that he was paying for him. I mean, it's sweet of Sean but I just didn't like it... So Sean walked out of TGI Friday's with Danny and George was right behind him.
We all hugged each other, said our goodbyes and went to our separate cars but on our way to our cars, I whispered to Celeste and said, "Once you get in your car, I want you to lock your doors immediately." and she kind of freaked out but I had a really good feeling this kid was going to do something.
Glenn and I got into the car (we rode together) and I asked Glenn if we can stay long enough to see everyone part ways. Gary and Jacqueline left, Matt then left, and Allen left and then I saw Celeste leave. Suddenly, I see that Danny and Sean didn't leave but then I saw George hop in Danny's car and I started to worry because of what was going on, but then two minutes later, I see George leave. (that was a relief) and then we all drove away and I saw George walk to the sidewalk and he stood against the TGI Friday's wall.
On our way home, we texted Danny on what happened and this is what he said to us:
"Sean just met him as he was walking in TGI Friday's. I just told him on the way to my car that I didn't feel comfortable giving him a ride and he said "okay". Then he got in and said "I'll just roll with you" and I said "No, I don't feel comfortable giving you a ride." and he said "I'm good back here" so I unbuckled my seat belt, looked him down and told him to get out of my car!"
So this fool just got into Danny's car and thought he could get a ride to wherever! Ugh~ Freakin' psycho! And then Danny told us that he's not going to ever give Sean a ride because Sean kind of put all of us in danger.
I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was weird. SUPER PSYCHO!
So that's how my Thursday night was. Hahahaha.
But during the day, I just spent the whole day at Institute, took the classes, played table tennis for three hours, ate all-you-can-eat sushi, and studied Japanese with Joe and then went home, took a 40-minute nap and headed to volleyball. Haha.
