My Best Friend's Mom Too

(Intermission) Where's Wendy?

Wendy's P.O.V:

This whole storm thing has been pretty depressing lately. I still got to text with Cassidy and a couple others throughout, but I couldn't help feel so alone the whole time.

How could I not really, I mean, becoming locked up for this amount of time? I've never been through something like this. And I no longer had Cassidy by my side to lean on. I was all out on my own, in the pocket of my home. Sure my parent were here with me but I preferred to keep myself locked away in my room.

I'd lay in bed for a while before turning over to finally pick up my phone. Clicking around through things on my laptop only provided temporary distraction from the looming feelings in my mind.

It wouldn't be until I accidentally stumbled myself into the dms of a particular girl on Instagram, that being Marissa.

Since there wasn't much to do a lot of my time resorted to reading or playing games like Stardew Valley. That was the game I was playing when I got stumped enough to check through some Reddit threads for guidance. That was where said particular girl responded to my posted question. We then went on to private message each other, ultimately landing on her giving me her Instagram. Apparently she had trusted me enough after a few pleasant responses, shared interests, and nice comments.
I was not complaining though once I saw her Instagram, she was a very similar age in the city over from us. Not to mention... she was beautiful.

Right when I clicked on her profile and the first few photos appeared, I was in complete shock. My breath was.. gone.

The time for being awestruck was little though, because within a few long glances at the first few posts, the banner came down from above, letting me know she messaged me.

Marissa:
Heyyy, I'm here on Instagram now!
How's your break been though, I noticed what area you're in and I know about how bad the storm is for you guys, but it's only been decently heavy rains over here.

Wendy:
Hii
It's been alright I guess. I think most people who are able to stay inside are fine but it's just a pretty tragic situation overall. I hope there aren't too many hurt out there.
I've just been bored and lazy inside, but that's nothing compared to what some others must be going through

Marissa:
Yeah I know what you mean...
You're super sweet though, you're suffering yourself but you still think about how other people are doing?
Pretty heroic imo

Wendy:
I mean, I wouldn't say that at all.
But thank you
Feels nice to hear nice things like that when I can

Marissa:
Are you really not used to hearing nice things about yourself?

Wendy:
No
Not really
Besides close friends with like, basic stuff

Marissa:
Seriously??
You?

Wendy:
What does that mean?

Marissa:
I mean.. idk if you want me to spell it out but
You're like

That was the point where she went quiet for a few minutes, and I started to worry. Maybe she meant well but didn't want me to think anything odd. I wouldn't blame her.. but eventually she continued her response.

Marissa:
A super fucking hot angel
Sorry
I don't mean to be weird or anything I just had to say, since I saw the few pictures you had up and just... yeah
