It's now around 9:30PM. I'm eating bread. Alone. Story of my life.

Yes, I'm sulking because none of my new friends are here with me and I miss Wilbur. I know, I'm pathetic.

Wil messaged me hours ago, telling me he had gotten home safe. I replied saying that I was glad with a smiley face, simple as that.

The sunset shines blindingly, golden and somehow cold as it lowers behind the buildings near my own, the light fades slowly, yet quicker than I notice, and soon, my once bright apartment is blanketed in darkness.

Almost like Wilburs light slipping away through the door as he leaves, the brightness that filled my smile draining away as he closes the door.

Pathetic.

I'm so pathetic.

I laugh unremorsefully at myself. How much of a loser am I to be sulking about this? I should do something to distract myself from the emptiness of my apartment.

As soon as I'm about to stand, my phone goes off. And for the first time I feel slightly joyous at the possibility of Mandy assigning me a bit of work, if even just to distract my mind for a while.

But no, when I check my screen, it isn't Mandy. I open the notification in confusion, but also at the opportunity to take my mind away from the thoughts at hand.

And surprise, surprise; It's the only other person-besides Mandy-that actually talks to me. Wil. But this time, he has added me to a group chat.

Wil 💀
Added you, and 2 others.

add eachothers numbers.

Heyo, it's Ash :)

Joe!!
Hello Ash, nice to meet you!

Ash :D
Yeah, you too!

Me
Hi again, Ash! I forgot to ask for your
number yesterday lol, but lucky me,
Wil made a chat :DD

Ash :D
Yeah! I was going to ask for yours but
it completely slipped my mind haha

Wil 💀
Yay, now that we're all introduced,
I thought we could meet up this
Sunday in Brighton?

Wil 💀
Negotiation is okay, I just thought
that's what we'd start with. So
Sunday ok?

Me
Yup! I'm free I think.

Joe!!
Yep! I've got nothing planned

Ash :D
Yeah that works :)

Me
Will we be getting straight into writing?

Wil 💀
That's good! And I dunno yet Y/n,
we'll see how it goes because I think
the best thing to start off with is just
meeting and getting to know
eachother.
