We go way back

Today at church I was feeling kind of nervous. It was my first Sunday at this new church, and I was thinking that I wouldn't know anyone there. At first I was really nervous, but then I noticed a face. He looked familiar.


It was Spencer, a friend from 8th grade.


He came over and we talked a little bit. The youth pastor then started to try and intoriduce me to him, "Spencer, I see you've met the new girl."


"New? Oh, I've known her for awhile!"


The pastor looked back at me, "Whhattt!? You already know people!"


I laughed, and then class started.





After class, a man in his 20s walked in. He was showing off his new tattoo.


"Whoa! Josh, that's so cool!" I looked over at him.


Josh, I know a Josh that looks kind of like him. Then he looks over at me, and gives me a weird look. Josh?

"I think I know him." I whisper to Spencer.

"Josh? How?" he looks at Josh then back to me.

"He played ball with my brother, and graduated with my sister." I look at Josh again.

He is looking at me, and the smiles. "Melissa!"

I smile back, it is him! "Hey! Josh!"

The pastor looks at me wide eyed, "You know him too?!"

I smile, "Yup." Josh answers for me. He walks over to where I'm standing and gives me a hug.

"How?" the pastor asks.

"I've known him since I was about five." I state simply.

"I graduated with her sister." And was a cheerleader, I added in my head.



I love knowing people when I'm at a new place. It makes me feel special when I'm known haha.
