Saturday Night Fever

This past week has gone by way too quickly. But still, I feel like I've learned a lot through experiences. At this one party, we were all sitting outside a Holiday Inn playing cards while there was a formal party going on inside. We felt bad but the party inside was really boring so we didn't give it much thought. The kids I was playing with were mostly sophomores or juniors. I felt like a youngin', it was kind of intimidating. First we played hearts, then BS. Usually, I'm pretty good at BS (haha, no pun intended). I always keep the same exact "poker face". But this time, there was this older guy that I'd never met before who knew every single time I was BSing. He was pretty smooth about it, he would never even THINK before he picked up my cards. Every single time. At first I thought it was coincidence, but then I noticed that he never picked up anyone else's cards; just mine. I looked at the kid for a while and I asked him his name. He said "________". Turns out he was one of my really good friends when I was younger, but he'd moved away for a while. I was really excited to see him again, but then I asked, "How come you know every time I lie in this game?" so he said


..."You scratch behind your ear"


Just another one of those ironies.
