Raven at the Boundary [Sally x OC, Larry x OC]

Chapter 2

With some difficulty, I managed to open the door to Larry and Lisa's apartment. I haven't been there in awhile but it still looked just the same as ever.

There's still the pictures of him and his mom hanging on the walls, the same old couch, the same old pizza in the side table (probably forever etched into it at this point), and the same old smell.

It's... nice to be back.

Pushing the door open further with my shoulder, I motioned for Sally to get in.

"Sally."

She tilted her head at me. "Ellie."

I laughed slightly. "Come in, we'll head to Larry's room." She did so and did a bit of looking around herself as I knocked on the door to said room.

"Larry?" I tentatively called out, and it took him a bit to answer.

"Yeah, Ellie?"

I scratched my cheek, not sure how to answer now. "Uhh... well I came to visit? I have snacks and stuff." I glanced at Sally as she watched me talk. She... didn't look like she wanted to intervene and I was okay with that. But I did say that I was gonna introduce her to Larry so I at least wanted to do that.

"You can come in."

Taking that as her cue, Sally went over and let me go in first. Once I was inside, I was careful to get her outside of the guy's view just so I have time to introduce her.

I grinned at Larry from across the room and he looked up from the CDs he was shuffling through by his stereo. "Oh, yo. You brought a lot. Did you just buy everything in the vending machine?"

"I did."

"You're crazy, dude." Despite the slight disbelief in his voice, there was a small smile tinging his face. He shook head and turned his body to face me, placing his hands in his pockets. "But seriously, I missed you a little."

I feigned a pout. "Only a little?"

"Don't push it. We haven't talked in a bit."

I let out a laugh. "Fair."

From behind me, Sally pushed on my back a little, keeping her voice to a low whisper. "You two seem really close."

I directed a small smile at her, and whispered, "Yeah. He's a good friend to have."

"Friend..." she muttered peeking over my shoulders to look at Larry who was... looking at her as well.

"You brought someone over?" He asked and Sally stepped out from behind me.

"I'm Sally. Sally Face. Lisa told me to come meet you and Ellie said she'll introduce me." She explained and I couldn't help but notice how calm she was when meeting someone new. It's the opposite with me but when someone talks to me first, I'll start going off and all. But Sally... well, she seems to always be calm.
