So yesterday was pretty fun. Ended up going to Red Deer with Cory, and even though it was hard waking up so early, especially after staying up so late it was definitely worth it. First we had to head to Westend to fuel up and to pick up my pay cheque. Everyone was surprised to see me walk in so early and asked what I was up to. And of course the suspicious looks and chastises started up when I said I was going to go to Red Deer with Cory for the day. Jeanette and Tom even went so far as to say "You and Cory are together? We'll spread the word". I blushed and denied saying we were just friends and not to spread rumors. After the rest of the teasing Jeanette gave us a cheque to drop off at the Royal bank for her (Even though there are like 30 banks in Rocky she had to use one in Red Deer) we got text from Cory's friend Lizzi asking if we wanted to go float down the river. Well seeing as we'd had plans to attempt it we agreed and headed off to gather out swim gear. The drive to Red Deer was fun we joked and sang along to music. Once in the city we concluded that the truck was definitely the loudest but the koolest. Lol all the weird looks and stuff from people was amusing and Cory just kept putting the truck into gear and the truck would get louder. We found out way to Parkland Mall easy enough and wandered around looking for cell phone covers with no luck. Then just decided to say screw it and headed for Wal-Mart to look for an inflatable boat or something. We found a few and thought about it and wondered if we should check Canadian Tire to see if they had more options or better deals. Whether of not to check the other store turned into a play argument between the two of us and ended in a poke war and a hug, and we headed off to Canadian Tire. Of course they couldn't make things findable in that store or it'd be too easy so we wandered around joking and playing with merchandise. Finally we found the area where lots of inflatable boats were and we mulled over options. I had to joke we could just get and air bed and float that down the river. Cory just messed up my hear and shook his head. We picked a boat and grabbed some paddles and an air pump. Well we still had some time to kill cause Lizzi went to Inisfail for a bit, so we decided to try and find Bower Mall. Cory with the typical male attitude lol would not ask for directions. I thought it was down the main drag and through down town we started that way and Cory said he didn't think it was through town so we turned and went back the other direction. We got hopelessly lost and I ended up phoning home to ask Auntie Sandy and Uncle Shane for directions. They laughed at me as if I was supposed to know my way perfectly around Red Deer, uhm no cause usually I just sit in the truck with headphones on pretending Grampa isn't there while he chauffeurs me around. Put two sixteen year old's in Red Deer and yea they get lost. So Uncle Shane told us to head down Gates the main drag and through town and that you couldn't miss the mall on the left. I turned and repeated the directions to Cory and told him that I was right and told him so. Apparently my family had a good laugh about that. Upon finding the mall and a parking spot which is hard in a truck we wandered around looking for cell phone cases. We found a place and she said there might be cases for the Keybo 2 at the main store and directed us in the way of the Telus store. We got there and they said they only had plain clear cases and no fancy ones. I piped up and asked if they knew where we could find kool ones. After confusion with directions we headed out and found the place. Finally new phone cases lol. There weren't very many masculine cases but Cory found a dark one with a skull. And he helped me choose between a sparkly purple one and a black one with sparkly silver stars. Cory said the one with stars looked kooler and suited my personality. In the end we didn't go floating down the river, though we intend to some other time. But meeting Lizzi and Lawson was fun, they are really great people and I was content knowing Cory was happy to see his old friend. After arriving at Lizzi's we all piled into her truck and drove around so she could finish a few errands. First stop, RDC and we wandered back and fourth throughout the campus trying to find the right place to go. While wandering I was told by Lawson that I should join Royals on the drum line, because it'd be a good experience. I might give it some thought but I'm sure my band geek fate is sealed to that damned flute of mine. We also toured around the area where Cory would be going if he ends up going to RDC for his schooling. Chapters was next on the list so Lizzi and Lawson could get some books to study and contest some of their subjects.Cory laughed and joked about thinking I'd be right at home there because I like books so much. We all had a blast checking out the 'For Dummies' books and said that whoever was clever enough tot come up with those books must be pretty damned rich. After we'd finished that we just ran around looking at boats and cars since Lizzi and Lawson were looking to buy. Lawson showed us the awesome 15 person pontoon party boat he was looking at. It was a great boat for the price, lots of seating room, storage and cup holders. Next we looked at cars. After they spotted the car they were looking to buy for Lizzi we went into the dealership and sat around while Lizzi and Lawson talked deals. Cory and I ended up just talking about random things and he grabbed my hands and twirled me around trying to get me to dance to the music playing, it was kute and fun. And then it just ended in more hugs and a poke war. While walking out he even surprised me and put his arm around my shoulders as we walked. And while we were in the grocery store later that day and I leaned down a bit tired he pulled me close into his chest and rested his chin on my head whispering softly that I could fall asleep. I refused and managed to stay awake the rest of the time we spent with Lizzi and Lawson and the ride home. On the ride home Cory was joking again how girls thought scars were hot and asked me if it was true. I smiled back and said only if they were not life threatening. The conversation went on and I again told him he had puppy eyes. He denied it again and I told him it made him adorable. Cory blushed and said guys wanted to be considered strong, sweet, kool and etc. I giggled and said he was all those as well, made him blush again. Then we went on to talk about friends and I said I would like to meet Jon sometime because he sounds like a great guy. Cory laughed and said that if I met him Jon would probably get bold and get in my face asking when I would get together with Cory. All in all the day was fun but it's just the moments like we shared during the day make me confused against the times he says he missed being with Heather.
