An Old Friend

I was in the computer lab today. My friend was beside me but this other girl was beside him who was in a younger grade than us. I saw she was looking up some older musicians (my type of people haha) and i remembered i had to do an assignment like that when i was her age. Right about then, our vice principal walks in, stopping at everyone's computer, asking what we're doing. He stopped at the girl's and she said she was researching old musicians for a project (aha, i was right!) and my vice principal says "do you know the beatles? You should search them up. They were one of my favourite bands back in the day. Do you like the beatles?". the old me, the beatle maniac, would've jumped up right in the middle of the computer lab and yelled "hell yeah, i love those guys!" but hearing it today, i just kept my eyes on my own screen and i had this kind of smile on my face. It was like revisiting an old friend. I suppose this is how the rest of my life will go now. Not thinking of Paul as a brother figure, not john as a father figure, not George as a romantic figure and not Ringo as a friend figure. I'll picture these guys as old friends for the rest of my life. cuz to me, i guess they kinda are.
