ANSWERS
Recently I was driving through the neighbourhood in which I lived when I grew up. And when I drove past the school, I immediately thought of my best childhood friend Alex. And he was not just my schoolmate but also my next door neighbour So we used to spend a lot of time together. It was always fun 'cause he always came up with something interesting. That's why we were never feeling bored. Also, I don't remember us having arguments frequently.
Then his family moved to a new neighbourhood. We were no longer neighbours, but we still studied together. Then we finished school, entered different universities, and lost touch.
When I drove past the school and remembered the good old times, I understood I really wanted to get back in touch with him. To be honest, I found it strange reaching out to him after so long. But I got up the courage and texted him. So, at first, I texted a simple 'Hi'. Then I asked him if he was interested in getting together. He seemed to be interested in reconnecting, and we decided to catch up over coffee. On the one hand, I was looking forward to meeting him 'cause it's always fun to remember the past. But I was a little worried that our friendship wouldn't be what it once was.
We met at a cafe. No words can really describe how happy I was to see him. First of all, I explained to him why it was that I fell out of touch. I think he appreciated knowing that it wasn't anything in particular that caused me to fall out of touch. Then we reminisced about the past. I was happy 'cause I felt like I was reliving my carefree school days. And we promised to each other to keep in touch and arranged our next meetup.
