*the next day*
Roni: Aaron and I have reservations at the art museum
Alex: I have a doctor's appointment
Nessa: So I have to go alone?!
Roni: I guess? I'm sorry Nessa
Nessa: Ugh whatever
Aaron: I could drive you though
Nessa: I could walk. Brent moved and he lives even closer to us now
Alex: It's so cool how you ran into our old group at the game yesterday
Nessa: Yea. Ima meet some new people too
Aaron: *smirks* Maybe even someone special
Roni: Uh no.
Nessa: Yea... I don't think so
*an hour later*
Lexi H: Nessa! OMG! Brent told me he saw you at the game and I couldn't believe it!
Nessa: I could not believe it either! It's been ages!
Brent: *Smiles* Well you saw Ben and Lexi yesterday. Now you see the other Lexi. Time to meet some new people. They are Dom and Jeremy
Dom: Nice to meet you
Jeremy: Hey
Nessa: *smiles*
Brent: See those two girls over there? The one on the left is Sofie and the one on the right is Pierson, my girlfriend. *points to a guy standing in a corner* And that's Andrew
Nessa: Wow, lots of new people in the group
Brent: Yup, is there anyone new in our group from your side?
Nessa: Nope, just Roni, Aaron, Alex, and I
Brent: You and Alex still haven't found the perfect match?
Nessa: I thought I did... but no. And Alex still hasn't found his perfect girl
Brent: I thought he would date Lexy, but then she started dating Fousey
Nessa: Yea... those were hard times. For me as well
Brent: *smirks* But then I came and made all your pain go away
Nessa: *punches his arm* Shut up. You broke my heart afterwards
Brent: You broke mine!
Nessa: it was your idea to break up!
Brent: You didn't object
Nessa: You had good arguments
Brent: Well it hurt when you didn't try to fight on
Nessa: You stopped fighting first and I was hurt that you even suggested it
*the two glare at each other and burst out laughing*
Brent: I missed this
Nessa: Me too. You guys are the only thing I miss about middle school
Lexi H: Brent! I need your help!
Brent: I'll be back.
Nessa: *nods and goes over to where Andrew is* Hi. I'm Nessa
Andrew: I'm Andrew. Nice to meet you
Nessa: Why are you standing alone in this corner?
Andrew: *smiles* I'm not alone anymore, now am I?
Nessa: *laughs* True
Andrew: I didn't expect you to come
Nessa: How come?
Andrew: when Brent said his ex was coming I couldn't believe it
Nessa: Kinda weird that I'm here huh?
Andrew: Nah, Pierson knows about you. Well, we all do. Brent still cares about you as a friend even though you don't talk anymore
Nessa: Aw, that's actually very sweet
Andrew: Um huh
Nessa: Can I ask you something?
Andrew: Go for it
Nessa: Feel free to lie or to just not answer, but do you like Lexi Rivera or Ben?
Andrew: *looks at her* Why are you asking?
Nessa: Well you keep on looking over at them
Andrew: Very observant I see. Well yea, I like Lexi
Nessa: *nods* Im sorry. I know how it feels to like a person who is in a relationship
Andrew: It sucks
Nessa: im hoping it gets better
Andrew: *nods* Me too. *looks at her* Alright, enough sad talk. What are you doing tomorrow?
Nessa: Well I work and then hang out at home
Andrew: What time you get off work?
Nessa: Around 3, maybe 4 if the cafe is packed
Andrew: No plans for after work?
Nessa: *shakes her head* No, why?
Andrew: You are now my plus one to the movies tomorrow. Everyone here is going
Nessa: Hm, I'm down
Andrew: Great *hands her his phone* Give me your number and I'll send you the details
Nessa: Sounds good *puts her number in*
Andrew: Perfect
