There was always something so nostalgic about being around her friends from high school. Sometimes, it was difficult for Greta to remember that there was a life before living her adult one around Kelly, or Julien, or even Cora.
It was a life a little made simpler, of shared dreams and wishes whenever she roamed her high school halls with Holly Reynolds, Chelsea Michaels, and Dana Wang. But with Holly coming back to Seattle from her social media trip in Belgium, Greta easily weighed the options of hanging out with them, or going to some work event she'll most likely get bored at.
There was a clear winner. And that brought her to Chelsea and Dana's apartment, where drinks, avocados-layered snacks, and the brewing urge to go out, find some stranger, and fuck his brains out had been a little more than clear.
"So is Danny still hot?" Holly begged to ask from her much-grappled attention to her phone screen.
It had been a constant thing asked of Greta, one she's grown accustomed to hearing out of Holly's mouth the most. And with a roll of her eyes, it didn't take much to make a disgusted groan before sinking back into her arm chair and finding an appropriate enough answer. "Why do you always have to make me wanna vomit at the thought of you pondering on my brother's attractiveness?"
"So is that a yes?"
"Bitch! This isn't Game of Thrones! Stop getting me to wonder about it in the first place!" Bellowed Greta, getting nothing but a nonchalant smirk back from Holly's end before she tossed her dark brown hair back and tucked her phone away for the briefest of moments.
Holly positioned herself with her legs crossed, brandishing her usual prim and proper smile as though she were giving some sort of elegant speech to the four people in the room. "So now that I'm back in Seattle, I'm thinking we shouldn't have to wait and do this for another two years. I miss you silly hoes like crazy!"
With a giggle, Dana took her seat next to Holly. The shade of brown in their hair color had been the only similarity between the two. For whilst Holly adorned herself in various forms of chic, allotting from her skinny black jeans and sophisticated blouse; Dana sat there as if priding herself on just how different they actually looked aside from the fact that she was Chinese whilst Holly had been whiter than polished marble.
From her loosely-fit Levi's and comfy green sweater, even to the more relaxed position she had found herself in against the cushions of the couch. From there, Dana took a long, unsettling swig of her champagne glass, then appointed her smoky gaze to Greta's way. "You should consider yourself lucky you're even getting this time with us, we all know Julien Dante would've never let Greta out of his sight."
