That One Friend Group: Redemption

𝓽𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓮

𝒶𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝓅𝑜𝓋

We're in business right now and poor Chris, he won't do anything but just sit there! Addison's in the class so I told him not to act too upset.

He just told me it isn't acting and that he doesn't care.

People would normally clown him for this but it's hard, I get it, Luella done this to me before, I need him to be like me (at least, me at the time).

Me and Chris have been like best friends for a wee while now and he means the world to me, he's so kind and deserves no one being horrible to him.

He's just trying to make it through life!

I knew that somehow I could cheer him up, somehow.

"Look, Chris, let's find you a new girl!" I exclaimed, he just sat there. "No, I don't want a new girl, I should've learnt after Penelope to stay away from them."

"Who?" I asked, not trying to ruin the moment, I didn't let him reply. "Come on, Chris! Not all girls are the same, there's someone out there who'll treat you the way you deserve to be."

He sighed. "I thought that's what Addison is like."

I shook my head. "Let's look around hmm. How about her? She seems nice!"

He rolled his eyes. "No." I nodded, slowly. "Okay... her?" I pointed to another. "That's a ginger!" He exclaimed, making me laugh. "Okay... Okay.. um, what about her?" I pointed to another.

He sat up slightly. "Stop picking girls who are in the same friend grou- oh."

I saw a smile grow on his face. "Ooo, Chris likes her." I laughed, he hit me slightly. "Nuh, uh." He started. "Who even is she? I've never seen her before."

"Neither but I don't pay attention to who's in this class." I told him, he was still staring at her.

I saw her look at him and they smiled at each other, I smiled at Chris. "Do you like her?" I asked in a way that I knew he did.

He shrugged. "Nah nah."

"Do you think she's pretty?" I continued and he smiled. "She isn't ugly.. sooo, yeah."

I laughed. "Awh, Chris is in love." He whacked me across the chest. "No, I'm not." I sat back up from my seat and spun his chair around so he would stop looking at her. "You need to find out what her name is." I told him.

He nodded. "Yeah... I wil."

End of class came (finally) and it was lunchtime! Me and Chris were going out when we walked past one of her friends. "Ivy! Ivory! I can't see! Whatever your name is!" Chris exclaimed.

She stood up from being crouched down to her back. "Ivy. What is it?" She asked, he stuttered. "Um.. random question.. but um... who sits here?" He pointed to the chair his love sits in.

She smiled. "Why? Do you like her?"

He shook his head. "No!" I mouthed to her that he does and she laughed. "Her names Amelia, Chris."

He smiled. "Okay." And as he said that, she was gone. "Wow! She has such a nice name too." He said as we left, I'm glad to see he isn't all emo and depressed seeming how he got broken up with an hour and a half ago.

I chuckled. "Chramelia. Chrimelia. Chameleon." I tried to think of a ship name. "I like Chameleon." He said and I agreed. "Same."

We were just about to leave the business corridor when he stopped me. "Can you not tell the others that you know... I like her?"
