Chapter 20

Friend groups are eternal!

...That's the message every kids show with an ensemble cast drills into your head. If you ever changed schools or moved cities for college you know that's a lie. People fall out of touch easily. In a matter of weeks, sometimes even days. When we're not forced to go through the same academic hellhole together we tend to run out of things to talk about.

"What's so different about your new school?"

"Since you left, Person A is like this! Can you believe it?"

Once you've gone through these thrilling conversations you're left with "How was lunch?" or "Can you believe it's snowing already?" until someone leaves the other on delivered out of boredom.

It was just my cynical nature that brought this train of thought on since I'm pretty sure a normal person would react very differently after receiving this text from Yuka:

Y: Yeah. We needed a fifth person for the family deal that's why you're in the friend group. Or at least the initial reason

I had been betrayed...

I had thought my cool outfits and my rare and coveted sense of humor had got me an invite to join my current friend group. To think the only reason I got to know Emma, snuck out of the school and discovered Little Caesars stuffed crust pizza was because of a Family Meal at Ronda's.

It was stupid and a little funny. It would be an entertaining story to tell a future niece.

I tapped my home button twice and went to my Maps tab.

Now the bus is 6 minutes away??? I swear it said that a couple of minutes ago.

I was waiting to take the 47 home. Back at the turnaround Gwen's mom called her and reminded Gwen that she needed to pick up food from Walmart and start preparing dinner. She apologized for leaving early and promised the next time we'd hang out she'd pay for food again as an apology. I wanted to disagree with her proposal but I didn't want to hold her any longer so we separated on that note.

Oh. I should respond to Yuka.

I tapped home twice and went back to IPhone's messaging app.

J: Couldn't you just get Galina to come? Or one of Shanice or Aliya's friends

Y: We thought that but since we all wanted to bring different people we just decided to get someone new so it would be fair

J: I see. Very democratic

Y: Yea. we get like that when we can't decide on something as a group lol

J: Makes sense

J: Did Emma suggest someone to be a 5th

Y: No
