i was outside when,
my phone notified me,
of a message.
ash was excited,
for some reason.
he was bombarding,
the group chat,
with pictures of clothes.
'what should i wear?'
'depends on where're you going,'
all of us agreed.
'lunch, movie, shopping.'
'alone?'
'no, with ava.'
everyone, simultaneously,
was enthusiastic,
too.
i was not.
does that make me,
a bad friend?
i hoped not.
