❝ Why do I feel like I'm just a chapter in your book while you're my entire story? ❞
❝ Well, you're obviously wrong, because you're my entire novel, cover to cover. ❞

A blank canvas. That's how my life was. Until she took my hand...

Dinner had been a peaceful affair, seeing as Serena had joined us as well. I couldn't properly talk to her (or embrace her), but she kept the conversation in the group going.
Her energy seemed to have rubbed off on the tomboy of our group as well, who began discussing academics with the blonde. Although I hadn't been much into studies lately, Gary and I were often lured in as well.
The positive thing that I very much appreciated was that all three of them never asked me about any of my school experiences. They talked away about theirs but did not ask me to join in. That was very... kind of them.
My phone buzzed, shaking me out of my musings, and I hurried to look at the name that was lighting up my screen. A small smile tugged at my lips. Serena.
Serena <3: I'm coming to get you guys in the morning. We're hosting breakfast at my place, and I'll make sure to invite the rest of the gang so that you guys can meet them! They're a lovely bunch of people. ^///^
Although it warmed me that she was going out of her way to get me friends, I wanted to tease her a bit.
You: Thanks, but. . . you do realize that I don't like social gatherings, don't you?
Serena <3: I'm aware of that, but I can assure you that they never mock people! They're all kind and great friends of mine that I have known since childhood! Trust me! •v•
You: I trust you...
Serena <3: Oh, c'mon, Ash. If you feel overwhelmed, we can always cancel it and I could take you places. How about that? >:]
I chuckled lightly. The progression of her emojis showed she was not going down without any resistance.
You: Sounds good. I suppose...?
Serena <3: Hold the Togepi, you're kidding with me again, aren't you? >:(
You: No!
Serena <3: You really don't wanna meet my friends? :0
You: Not like that, but I'd appreciate being with you over them. :0
Serena <3: :O
I felt heat rising in my cheeks. The hell did you type? She's gonna get mad at you.
You: I didn't mean it that way!
Serena <3: What way? ;0
You: You're such a tease, 🐑!
Serena <3: I'm a sheep? ×^×
You: Aren't you? Seeing you after so many years and you've managed to make your hair look all fluffy like sheep's wool!
