We
walked around Times Square in an awkward
silence.
"Phoebs, what's wrong? I was having a really good
time in there, why didn't you just come in?"
"Well I'm sorry, I guess my idea of a good time
differs from yours."
"What do you mean?"
At this point I couldn't hold
it in anymore.
"I thought we were going to hang out tonight and
all you want to do is impress your clients. What
happened to the Rachel that didn't care about
accounts and trendy bars? What happened to the
Rachel I was friends with in high school?"

She thought about this
for a few minutes and then exploded.
"It's not what's happened to me, it's what hasn't
happened to you. While you were off in your
carefree world of floating from job to job, some of
us were building careers. I understand that the
world does not revolve around me."
I swallowed hard and looked down at the
pavement.
"Phoebe, you have to understand, it's not going to
be like it was in high school. I don't enjoy going
to clubs where the beer soaks through my shoes. I
gave up that lifestyle a long time ago. I've moved
on and it's time for you to do the same."
