Chapter 3: Memories part 2

[ok this is harriet here, just to clear things up Im going to part this section of the story into three chapters bc it was a little too long for my liking...hope you don't mind]

"MAN, I'm just absolutely grateful for my team for making my dreams come true...it has been a long and painful journey but it was worth it~" Ava exclaimed, as I managed to put my consciousness back in place and sighed. What an angel...polite, charismatic, cute, enthusiastic, always thankful and being a sunshine to us every day...I'm sure everyone in the avatar community would agree on how Ava has saved us from dropping into depression....'WAIT NO pls Scarlett will you concentrate!' I shook my head weirdly and tried to give my undivided attention to ava.

"~AHAHAHA OF COURSE,HOW WOULD I FORGET ABOUT IT," Ava giggled, as echoes of laughter swung back and forth within Ava's studio. "Dang it," I thought, "I missed what Ava was saying..." as i awkwardly laughed along with everyone. "WELL THANK YOU, you just made a fool out of yourself," I internally slapped myself on the forehead.

My thoughts had been cut off by Ava's voice-"you guys do realise how much I've missed you during this pandemic... and it's absolutely lovely to see you all again," "Ava maybe you should let the avatars tell you sth about themselves ...I'm sure they would love to," Ava's manager, Tom (full name Tom Kogs , correct me if I'm wrong) suggested from behind the camera.

"Great idea! Hmm...Scarlett? Would you want to start first?" As usual, I was half concentrating, but i suddenly froze...d-did she just call my name? No she didn't. You seriously need to stop imagining things... but she called my name! SCARLETT YOU HEARD IT! clearly! Or maybe not so clearly...oh for heavens sake what am I supposed to do...

I looked at at the small window displaying my face on my computer, only to meet my disappointingly puzzled, slightly nauseated face and gloomy, widely open eyes staring soulessly back into my heart.
