"Hey guys, Ambur and I are going to go back to the Shack, okay?" That's me. I'm Autumn and my nickname is Fall.
"Um, yeah. We'll meet you guys there in a couple minutes." That's my friend, Aaron. My other guy friend is Rien. They're both great.

That definitely took my mind off being sad. "You do know that I'm totally gonna have to prove you wrong somehow, right??" I smiled. "Cuz I completely disagree."
"Oh yeah???"
"Yup!"
