It had been a week since Ava told me her history with Lexi, and that was all I could think about. I tired to come up with various ways to keep the peace between them.
But every time I thought of a possible solution, it would be crumpled up and thrown away. Within a week Ava and Lexi had three arguments. Although it was petty disagreements, it showed a high chance of them unlikely being friends.
It was hard enough concentrating in school, as all I could think was about their situation.
As Saturday approached, I felt almost relieved, as I didn't have a pressure of focussing on school, and the teachers constant nattering to listen to them.
I found myself back in the library. Today, it was particularly overwhelming, a vast amount of people were darted around. Although the chatter was kept at a minimum, the high noise of whispers took the element of the library away.
I noticed Zac making his way to our desk, with two cups of vanilla lattes.
"Here you go, vanilla latte as requested." Zac placed the mug in front of me.
The frothy bubbles subtly floated around, mixed with the beige hue of the vanilla, creating a beautiful swirled pattern.
As Zac sat opposite and started to discuss more of our business project. My mind felt so distant, as if it wasn't in the same room. His words escaped his mouth, but his voice sounded far and mumbled.
"Hannah? Are you even listening?" Zac shook my arm and I was brought back.
All the sounds around me, came crashing back into my ears. I twitched at the sudden screech of the noises around me.
"What's up? You were in your own world," Zac chuckled.
"Did you know Ava and Lexi were friends in primary school?" I let out straight away, showcasing what had been gnawing away at me for the past week.
"Huh?" Zac tilted his head quizzically, not understanding my strange answer to his question.
"Ava and Lexi used to be friends," I repeated.
"And?" Zac furrowed his brows in confusion, still not getting how my point was supposedly connected with our work.
"We need to do something. Get them together to talk it out." I leaned back in my seat, putting my mind to work, trying to come up with a solution.
Zac stayed silent. It was like he was lost for words, not knowing how to respond to what I was saying.
I frantically bobbed my leg up and down, nipping away on the bottom of my lip. My mind was thinking fast like a race car. Milling over possible solutions. I knew I should have been focusing on our project, but I couldn't put their situation at the back of my mind.
All of sudden, it was like a lightbulb had flashed between my eyes.
"I got it!" I exclaimed, jerking myself forward from my seat. I received a few disproving stares from the people around me.
