Danny tossed the empty soda can into the recycling bin & trodded off ahead to catch up with his friends.
“You recycle now? Did you catch that guys, he recycles. What are you going to do next, save the rainforest?”
His friend chided him, tugged his collar and laughed. They all knew he was trying to impress that new chick, Faye, Farrah, Fan, whatever her name was. His campaign to woo her heart included becoming more ‘eco-friendly’ and signing up for a summer pottery class which he almost managed to keep secret until Mike happened upon his set of glazed vases while sleeping over one night.
“Well. I’m kind of glad he’s becoming a little more aware of his surroundings. Maybe his tiny infatuation isn’t all that bad,” chimed Marie, “And anyways, Johnny, don’t you remember that haircut and wardrobe switch you ‘voluntarily’ went through while with Annie?”
Johnny looked down at his tattered jeans and swept his hair away from his eyes.
“Oh yes. fondly. At least she was hot.”
The group nodded and continued walking.
