Silver Lining (A STRQ Reader Story)

To Be Correct Or To Be Right

After being rushed into the lunch room by Summer I quickly took notice of how large and busy it was, this was after I had recovered of course.

Sil: So does this mean our deal in Vale is no longer valid or is it a paid membership thing?

Summer: Nooo it's just since we're actual besties now you have follow all my bestie rules!

I deadpanned

Sil: Since when were there rules?

Summer had stars in her eyes before turning towards me

Summer: DIDYOUJUSTACKNOWLEDGETHATWE'REBESTIES?

Sil: English please?

Summer calmed down a little before responding

Summer: Sorry I said did you just acknowledge that we're best friends?

Sil: 'That's what got her so excited?'

Summer and I had gone in line to grab lunch

Sil: Well even if I did what does it matter?

Summer: Uh...

Sil: I also noticed you take friendship as a whole a little too far, not that it's a bad thing but just why is that?

Summer: Well...

Sil: 'She's dodging it just like before when we started to talk about who trained her'

I noticed that she had started to tense up

Sil: You don't have to answer if you don't want to...

Summer look relieved

Summer: Thanks, Oh yeah don't dodge the question you admitted that we're best friends.

Sil: 'You're one to talk' If you keep mentioning it then we can go back to being regular friends although I hardly know the difference between the two. I didn't really make many friends growing up

Summer looked down for a quick second

Summer: You too huh?

Sil: 'Knew it' Well I'm the son of a celebrity, so what's your excuse?

Summer: Sil we're up, let's grab our trays and go find the rest of my team.

Sil: 'Huh interesting, so is it anything about her time before Beacon that she doesn't like talking about? I kinda wanna find out why now.' Yeah sure

As we walked around the lunch room I kept thinking about what I had said earlier

Sil: 'What could she be so shy to talk about? Should I just ask her why? Will she find it weird that I'm pushing so hard to find out? Scratch that there's no way that Cookie Monster could call anyone a weirdo. That's it, I'll just bribe her with cookies. If I take her to that shop she took me last time she'll squeal for sure'

Summer: You okay Sil?

I jumped a bit not realizing that Summer had been speaking to me the entire time

Sil: Yeah I'm fine, what were we talking about?

Summer gave a sad sigh

Summer: It's not important anymore.

Sil: I wasn't ignoring you I was just lost in thought. I do that a lot

Summer then spoke in an apologetic tone

Summer: Sorry about not really answering any of your questions, I know it's a little hypocritical for me to exclaim about our friendship but then not tell you anything
