Chapter 12: Summer Love & Pride

I was so excited.

I mean why wouldn't I be?

IT'S PRIDE MONTH!

I'd put on a light blue crop top and some light green shorts, with dark blue shoes. Velvet, wore a light orange crop top and light red jeans. Morty was wearing a pink tank top and orange leggings. Sally had a dark orange skirt and a light orange crop top.

Ritz, Orchid and Leaf weren't here yet though, so I don't know what their wearing.

Velvet and her friends were talking about what ice cream to get when Ritz, Orchid, and Leaf get here. I didn't have anyone to talk to though, so I stood there feeling kinda lonely.

Eventually, the doorbell rings, I walk over and open it.

Ritz had on a dark blue tank top and dark green shorts, Orchid was wearing a dark pink crop top, and a light pink skirt.

"Hey!" Ritz grinned.

"Hi. Come in guys." I step out of the way so they could come in.

They walk in, and Leaf suddenly comes bolting up the steps. "WAIT! Don't shut the door!" She runs in and her and Velvet hug and squeal. Leaf had on a hot pink headband, a purple shirt, and dark blue jeans. It clashed well with her green skin and hair.

Ritz frowned. "Why so many girls?"

"Same question." I say.

"Hey, why don't I just call my friend Nick?" He asks. "And I also know someone else who would probably want to come."

"SURE!" I say, grinning.

He grabs his phone and started dialing. He talked to someone, telling them to meet us at the ice cream shop, then did the same to someone else. He put his phone back in his pocket. "Alright, they should be meeting us at the ice cream shop around ten."

"Great!" I say. "It's nine forty, we should get going."

"Yup. Hey girls! Let's go!" He calls to the five girls who were squealing like five year olds. They turned their heads at Ritz's voice.

"Already?" Orchid asks.

"Yup." I say. "Now let's go."

We take Velvet's car and drive down to the ice cream shop. We sat down at a table outside to wait for the friends Ritz had invited.

Soon, I saw a car pull in and a guy came jogging over, he saw us and ran over. His hair was a dark indigo, and he had blue skin and electric blue eyes. And he had on a green shirt and lighter shorts. 

"Hey Ritz. What's up?" He asks.

"Not really anything. Guys, this is Nick, Nick, this is... to many people to name." Ritz says.

"Where's your other friend?" Velvet asks. "I want my ice creammmmmmmmmmm!"

"He sould be here soon." He said, glacing at his phone, probably checking the time.

Then, as if on cue, another car pulled in and a guy with purple skin, corol hair, and green eyes. He had on a dark pink shirt and dark blue jeans.

"You invited James?!" Orchid whispered.

"Look," Ritz starts. "He's clearly going through some shit, remember what i told you on the last day of school?"

"Oh yeahhhhhhhh..." Orchid says.

What? What did he tell her?

"So don't freak out." He says, giving us all serious looks. "Got it?"

Orchid nods, Velvet shrugs, Leaf and Morty glance at each other questioningly, and Sally just blinks.

He stands up and jogs over to James and it looks like they say something to each other before walking over.
