Kyle

[rena_librarian]

Retreat (at camp) is this weekend, and I hadn't ever heard back from Kyle via e-mail as to whether or not he wanted to go, so I called him today.

Tried, anyway. His mom picked up and informed that he has moved out! O_O

Which, like...I knew he was planning on it. But--WOW! That was sudden! And the last I'd heard he had almost decided against it, or at least to put it off.

So he's SOMEWHERE in a town that I pass EVERY DAY on my way to and from school. But here's the bad news--he hasn't left any contact info. His mom said that she hadn't talked to him in a few days, but knows he's got no phone yet. She said she'd call me when she talked to him.

I got a phonebook, looked up "apartments" in the yellow pages, and called all the ones in that town with no results. (Though he MAY be in with friends, not in his own place, I really don't know.) I think the one woman I talked to thought I was some kind of stalker, lol... (I don't know, do I qualify for real now? Lol.)

This bothers me. I'm really, honest-to-God afraid I'll never hear from him again--which is kind of silly, because if I hear nothing I'll just call his mom again sometime next week and at least try to find out what building it is and leave my number this time. (I told her Kyle had my number, but then, he loses things, lol.)

But...mmm. I'm worried. Not that he won't do okay (he will, provided that his friends are decent people), but of being so close and yet so far away.

I'm trying to focus on the fact that if I do actually track him down I'll be able to spend a lot more time with him, since he's only 15-20 minutes away. Yayz!

(On a side note, it would actually be the first time I've had a friend--as opposed to an acquaintance--live that close to me! I think the "nearest" friend I've had was LynnDee, and that's a good 30-minute drive from my place...)
