DAY 292, MONDAY, JULY

H: It was more fun than I expected.

S: Awesome. So next time you'll be there again?

H: If I don't have something else planned, sure.

S: Nice. So, what did you think of them?

H: Of L?

S: Yeah.

H: They seemed nice.

S: Very friendly, I agree.

H: They seem more energetic than T.

S: That's exactly what I noticed. It's hard to believe they're siblings.

H: Right.

S: T is more laid back, and 'whatever happens, happens'. I think L would take matters in their own hands.

H: Yeah. They asked if we could hang out one on one some time.

S: Seriously? When did they do that?

H: When I was leaving. R was already outside and L walked me to the front door.

S: They asked you out?

H: I don't think it was meant as a date.

S: How do you know?

H: They just asked to hang out sometime. Just us.

S: Hmm.

H: They said it can be difficult to get to know people well in a group setting.

S: That's true.

H: And you wouldn't say this is a date, right?

S: Oh.. No, no... I guess not... if you-

H: Shut up.

S: I'm joking.

H: Seriously. This is not meant as a date right?

S: No, we're not on a date.

H: The thing with L, I mean.

S: Probably not. Don't stress about it.

H: Alright.

S: And that's exactly what I meant with 'takes matters in his own hands'. They really want to be friends with the rest of the group.

H: It does make work more bearable.

S: Definitely. And they seem nice. I wonder if T is a fan of them joining the group.

H: What do you mean?

S: I wouldn't really like hanging out with my sibling.

H: I didn't know you had any.

S: I don't.

H: But-

S: I wouldn't like it, if I had any. Do you?

H: It wouldn't really work right now. My sister just turned ten.

S: No, that would be weird. She wouldn't fit in.

H: Right. If she was my age, though... I don't know. Maybe it would be fun. Why wouldn't you like it?

S: I mean, I see them at home every day. And hanging with friends is a way to, I don't know... get away from home for a bit. To be surrounded by people who don't know every single thing about you.

H: I don't think my parents know every little thing about me.

S: Really?

H: Yeah. From when I was younger, sure. But not right now.
