✰┊❛MEETING❜┊✰

the seventeen year old girl, isabel, most known as belly, was sitting at her lunch table with her quote on quote "friends" and twin sister, macie

they were talking about how one of their friends parents, cylias, found her fake ID when her dad was looking for something in her room, but since belly was the least important one in the friend group, no one was listening to her.

"can i give my opinion on something?" belly asks

"belly shh" cylia says "so anyways, yeah my dad was looking for like a pen or something and he saw like my ID on my desk-"

"why the hell would you leave it out in the open though?" macie laughs

bellys friends thought as if it was funny to treat belly like that, and anytime they did it, belly laughed along to hide the fact that it really did hurt her

her twin sister didnt even talk to her, they only had one conversation a week.

belly had always been the quiet twin, meanwhile macie was the talkative and outgoing one.

she didnt know why they treated her like that, all of these girls but charlotte had been her best friends since her and macie were four, so why did they like macie more?

"hi, excuse me" a boy comes up to them

"hi?" belly says

"can we sit here? literally every other table is taken" he asks

"yeah sure!" charlotte smiles

"thanks" another boy says, sitting down next to charlotte

"you guys are like, identical" alyson says

"yeah were triplets, im nick" the boy who came up to them says

"im chris" the boy next to belly says

"and im matt" the boy next to charlotte says "what about you guys?"

"oh uh, im be-" belly starts

"yeah so thats belly, im alyson" alyson says

"im macie, belly is my twin sister"

"im gracie"

"im charlotte, you can call me charli or whatever"

"im alexa, you can call me lexi"

"and im cylia"

"okay too many names" nick chuckles

"wait so is your name really belly?" chris asks

"her name is isabel, weve been calling her belly since we were little" macie answers

"sorry but does she not talk or something?" nick asks

"oh no i talk" belly says quietly

"she just has social anxiety" charlotte says, making air quotes when she says 'social anxiety'

"its a real thing" belly mumbles

"i get nervous around people sometimes so i must have social anxiety" gracie teases "i personally think its a ton of bullshit"

"gracie shut up, shes been suffering with it since she was seven, cut her some slack" macie defends

"macie youre defending her?" charlotte chuckles

"social anxiety is a real thing, i have it too" matt says

"oh, im sorry" gracie comforts

"we didnt know" charlotte pouts slightly

'i dont need your fucking pity, just apologize to your friend' matt thinks to himself

"its fine" matt shrugs

"hey are you two fraternal twins?" chris asks

"yes, im two minutes older" macie smiles gently

they all talk for a while before lunch ends. well everyone but belly talked, she kept getting interrupted by everyone.

belly walked to her next class with charlotte, charlotte rambling about how matt looked at her

"so what do you think?" charlotte asks

"i think that hes a normal human being and that you just met him, so you should give it some time" belly answers

"i dont know, i just feel like he was very like, attached to me you know? he talked to me a lot" charlotte smiles

"just wait, char. you just met the kid" belly says

charlotte nods and they walk to their next class

the thing about bellys friendship with her friends was that she was the therapist friend, her friends never checked up on her, but she checked up on them, and they only talked to her in their time of need. and belly knew that, but what was she gonna do? lose all of her friends?
