In the days that followed their initial meeting, Stell and Ken's friendship deepened quickly. They spent most afternoons in the campus courtyard, sharing laughs and discussing everything from their favorite music bands to their dreams for the future.

One sunny afternoon, as Stell and Ken lounged on the grass, Justin and Pablo joined them, both longtime friends from Stell's circle. Justin, always the jokester, introduced himself first.

"Hey, Ken! Welcome to the gang. Stell's been talking non-stop about you." Justin said while approaching ken
"*grinning* "Thanks, man. Good to finally meet the legends." Ken said smiling at them
"Yeah, Stell's been keeping us in the loop about your adventures. Hope you're ready for this crazy bunch." Pablo replied

Ken's easygoing nature immediately clicked with Justin's humor and Pablo's laid-back charm. They swapped stories of past escapades and bonded over shared interests. But it was Ken's encounter with Josh, a quiet but observant member of their group, that left a lasting impression.

Ken came close and handed an hand "Hey, Josh, right? Stell's told me a lot about you."

Josh smiled and Shaked ken's hand "Likewise. Stell's been raving about you, too. It's good to finally meet."

From the moment they shook hands, Josh and Ken found themselves engrossed in conversation, discovering a mutual love for photography and a penchant for deep philosophical debates. They talked well into the evening, their friendship solidifying with each passing word.

Over time, Ken and Josh became inseparable, bonding over late-night stargazing sessions and spontaneous hikes through nearby trails. Ken's presence brought a new energy to their circle, inspiring everyone to embrace spontaneity and cherish each moment together.

As Stell watched his friends laugh and share stories, he couldn't help but feel grateful for Ken's arrival, which had breathed new life into their close-knit group. Little did they know, the bonds they were forging would weather challenges and strengthen with time, marking the beginning of a lifelong friendship filled with shared adventures and unwavering support.
