I'm going to run late to meet my friends. I think that's ok. Isn't it?
Are your friends going to be mad at you for being late?
It'll be fine if I run late.
It might be fine but soon enough your friends will be fed up with your tardiness. They probably expect you to respect them by being on time so by not being punctual it will seem like you are taking advantage of them. Eventually, they will exclude you from gatherings and events.
Then, I guess that's the price I'll pay.
Don't you think that you could try to be on time to save your relationship with your friends? You might regret being late when you find out they aren't inviting you places anymore. Think of all the fun you will miss.
