Sorry for slow update my lovelies, so here's another one to make up for it!
⬆️Tatiana
"Can you believe those two, Reminisce?" Kaiden had asked Reminisce as soon as they had left Josiah's house. "Who do they think they are, huh? Straight up disrespecting me like that. Talking badly about someone is one thing. But right in front of their face? That's just downright mean and evil."
He wanted to talk to Savannah because he wanted her back in the friendship group again. It had been a pretty long time without her and Kaiden was getting sick of it.
He didn't really have anything in common with the rest of the people in the group, but he did with Savannah.
Before the two of them had gone, everyone had laughed at Kaiden because he couldn't be taken seriously.
So when he had told them that he wanted to talk to Savannah, they couldn't help but to have a laughing misfit at him.
As Kaiden and Reminisce were both simultaneously making their way there, Kaiden couldn't have stopped talking about it, eventually driving Reminisce insane.
Reminisce wasn't even supposed to come but in case Kaiden had screwed up and no one was there, it was therefore best not to risk anything.
"I mean- can I really not be taken that seriously?" He had continued. "Is that what people think of me? Is that what you think of me, Reminisce? I don't even know what I think about myself anymore and-"
Reminisce was walking right in front of him, stopping in the middle of the empty road to turn around and look at him.
"Stop!" She had shouted, taking a deep breath, then she sighed as Kaiden had stared at her blankly. "Look, Kaiden, I love and appreciate you as a friend, I really do-"
"And I feel the same way about you!"
"...But you're really doing my head in," she had continued, unintentionally ignoring what he had just said. "Who cares what people think about you? All that matters is what you think of yourself. How others see you isn't important. How you see yourself is everything. You understand?"
Yeah, he did.
Besides, they were just teasing with him, they didn't mean to offend him.
Like when Josiah had told Khalifa the other day that his raps were better off as a secret than being published for the whole world to hear.
He was just teasing, they were amazing.
He was kinda jealous too.
"But sometimes I don't know if you guys are teasing me or if you guys are being serious."
"Look- we'll talk about this later. Just drop this, okay?"
He nodded and they continued walking.
They may have all lived in the same neighbourhood although Savannah's house was pretty far.
At least she hadn't moved neighbourhoods, that would have made everything ten times worse.
