Okay, so there was one time when I had to wait for my friend for quite a long time just to hang out. Since I live in Dorn, we usually only meet when I go back home, which is during one holiday. I was super excited when she finally texted me and asked me to hang out with her. So when I got back, I got ready to go back and pick my food. But suddenly, she texted me and said she couldn't come because of an occasion or that she was busy. It was so sudden, and I felt a bit sad, you know. I really wanted to meet her because we don't see each other that much. In the end, I just went back to my room and watched a movie. I was a bit disappointed, but it's okay. Next time, I'll make sure that the plan is really clear before I get excited again.
