Mending

It's almost not awkward anymore. I sat across from Austin in Sunday School and looked up to him smiling at me. That hasn't happened in months! I smiled back.
It had been very weird for a little bit. Austin had walked around me on eggshells for about a week. But I feel better now! I don't feel mad anymore.
As I listened to the church lesson I thought about what to do next. Should I try more? Or less? He knows I miss him now. Maybe he will try more, for me.
--------------------------------
After class I remembered that I had a meeting with the Bishop to discuss what Youth Activities we could do in the New Year. I looked around for Gavin, cause he was supposed to go with me. I didn't see him, so I went up to Austin and Trent.
"Hey guys. We've got WYC after church, and one of you lucky ducks gets to go with me," I said. I secretly hoped Austin would come, but I didn't tell him to. I wasn't sure who was Gavin's replacement.
"I've got stuff I have to do," Trent said. He hurriedly backed away and oit the door.
Austin looked at me. "Guess I'm going!"
------------------------------------
Austin is literally asleep. This meeting isn't that boring! I poked him in the shoulder. He snorted and woke up. I tried to hold my laughter in.
He looked over at me. His expression perfectly said, "Why did you make me come to this again?"
I smiled. "Its not that bad."
"Yes. Yes it is."
(Okay, so in my church we have two hours of meetings. First hour is where everyone is in one big hall and we have songs and talks and prayers. Second hour we all split up into adults, youth, and children and have specialized lessons based on age group. For youth, we call it Sunday School. Our pastor is called the Bishop. Every month or so the oldest youth, both boy and girl, meets with the bishop and other leaders in the church to discuss how better to help the Youth and what activites we would like to do. Thats called WYC, ward youth council. Ummm I think thats all the confusing parts. If anyone has more questions, feel free to ask me in the comments!)
