Early Shocker

Waking up to a beautiful Thursday morning, I'm suddenly reminded that it's Valentine's Day so I pulled my duvet over my head and continued to sleep. I slept in the wee hours of the morning, many thanks to Family Guy and their addictive sarcastic idiocy. I was woken up by a phone call. Dreading it was a friend of mine whom is bugging to meet me today, I screened my call.

Feeling really bad about not answering the call, I called back only to find it was one of my high school friends. What a great start to a fantastic afternoon. She asked me whether I was free sometime in March or so, I told her most probably and this is how the conversation went from there:

Sai: I'm having this dinner thing sometime early in March. Do you think you're able to make it?
Ethan: Yeah, I should be. I'm always free.
Sai: Alright that's good! I'm getting married then.
Ethan: WHAT!

Yes folks, she's getting married. There's nothing wrong with marriage, it's just that at our age we should be enjoying our youth instead of double knotting relationships. So it came as a shocker to me to find a friend of mine whom I haven't seen or spoken to in a long time suddenly called me to tell me she's getting married. I was ecstatic. But that's not all.

Ethan: So who's the lucky guy?
Sai: Do you remember Steven? The guy I've been trying to dump for the past 5 years? Yeah it's him.
Ethan: Holy cow! Seriously that's great. That's better than great that's fantastic.
Sai: Yeah. So aren't you going to ask me why is this so last minute?
Ethan: I'm afraid to.
Sai: I'm pregnant.
Ethan: ... CONGRATULATIONS!

I swear I didn't know what to say. I was already floored when she told me she's getting married, and now this. This seem to be a sort of trend in my high school; getting knocked up and shot gun weddings. As far as I know, so far there are 5 of them who has succumbed to this.

But honestly I'm happy for her. Really. I am.
