Freshman Year

Kirstin giggles as Avery and her walk around the corner. Well, she tried to walk, Avery was running, and their linked elbows meant Kirstin was just being dragged along behind her; hence the giggling. They had been in New York for about two months, and Avery was eager to do as many things as possible, especially since Tony had given her a credit card. Today, they were going a few places, specifically a bookstore, which was fun, and a food place she wanted to check out. It had a weird name; Topeka's or something.

"Can you slow down please, I like my arm attached to my body. Why are you in such a hurry? It's just food." They go flying around another corner but quickly slow down as they come to a staircase leading down.

"Because I have friends now, unlike you, and they're the ones who invited us." Avery speaks excitedly, quickly heading down the stairs, Kirstin still being dragged behind her.

"Hey, I have friends. And by us, do you mean you?" Kirstin quickly matches her cousin's pace but falls when she comes to a complete stop. Avery is quick to let go then, because falling in a skirt is not fashionable, or easy to walk off, no matter what movies tell you.

"No, I mean us. I assume that's what they meant when Ryder said to bring 'New Girl' along too. And you have, like, two friends. Who are friends with my friends, so of course they want you here. Mason and Andi, right?" When Kirstin just scoffs and stands up, Avery opens the door and lets them through.
