It's been a few weeks since Film and I reconciled, and the weirdest thing about it, is just how close we've been to Milk.

Ever since Love and Milk broke up the last time, I haven't really interacted with Milk, but she's still the same.

She joins, myself and Film when we go to the movies, she joins us for drinks, she even greets me when they see me in the hall.

I don't know how Love hasn't realized i still have to talk to her, but I'll cross that bridge once I get there.

When I told Tu that Film and I fixed our problems and are now together, she hugged and congratulated me for finally getting my head out of Love's ass.

She's even started joining us when we hang out with Milk.

Apparently Tu and Milk have been friends like normal and we just never noticed.

It was weird, that it wasn't weird.

It felt normal.

It was weird how quick it felt like normalcy

I didn't think I'd ever be able to sit in her company like that especially because of Love.

Well I thought I wouldn't because now I do.

Tu and I was walking down the campus passage, walking to get to the exit, when Film and Milk stopped us.

Love had stayed in the cafeteria when Tu and I decided we're ditching our last lecture and leaving.

Film hugs me tightly, kissing my cheek, hugs Tu and Milk hugs us too.

"Where are you going?" Film asks, as she separates from Tu.

"We're leaving, Tu was just about to drop me at home"

"Me too" Film says, and my brain short circuits.

"You too?" She hums and then says "yea I was hoping to get you so I can leave with you"

I almost kiss her instantly.

"Okay yea, Tu will you-" i ask , and get interrupted "Yup" Tu answers.

"We'll drop you at your place and Milk will go with me then?"

"I'm down" Milk says, we all leave smiling, failing to notice Love standing at the cafeteria door watching us.
