More Random Nostalgia

I was vacationing in Atlantic City and walking along the boardwalk when I ran into Ami, a girl that I went to school with. She was sitting up on an inclined section of the boardwalk, looking down at the ocean as her boyfriend Dave went swimming.

I stopped to talk to her and catch up on old times, but she was too pissed off about the things Dave was doing. Now, all Dave was doing was swimming in the ocean, but for some reason Ami didn't want any part of that. I kept telling her that it isn't often that she'd be near the Atlantic Ocean, and that she shouldn't miss what might possibly be her only chance to go swimming in it.

Just as I finished saying that, Dave came up to us. She introduced me to him, even though I already knew him, and then she invited me to go back to our old school to look around with them. We got to the school, and again, Ami didn't seem happy. The kids were getting ready to eat lunch in the cafeteria, but she wanted to eat lunch somewhere else.

I finally convinced her that we should eat in the cafeteria, since we hadn't stepped foot in that place for about 25 years, and she finally agreed to go... although she whispered to me that we had to sit near the elevator, because that's how Dave wanted it. *shrug*

We sat down to eat, and now suddenly the elevator was actually a way to get to the top of this giant ferris-wheel type ride, outside in some park. Before we could even start eating, Dave ran off and headed over to the elevator. It is hard to describe, because it couldn't be done in real life, but there was a "doggy door" sized elevator door at ground level, and then another "normal" sized entrance a few feet above it.

Everyone was getting in through the doggy door, but Ami and I were too big. Dave had already left Ami behind, and began climbing up to the normal elevator door - because he HAD TO RIDE THE ELEVATOR. Some sort of obsession or something. Once again Ami was pissed off. By then I began to realize that it was because Dave actually didn't like doing ANYTHING that Ami wanted to do, and vice versa. I'm not sure why they were even a couple.... heh
