"Thirteen years." I stated breathlessly, watching as my old friend brushed a strand of significantly shorter yet still pink hair out of their eyes. "Y-Yeah. Time flies." Uncomfortable. They sound...uncomfortable. "Moddy.!Mod-" Haven and I looked over to see a little girl running up to us then skid to a stop as she caught sight of me. "Riot. Sweetheart. This is Moddy's friend from high school." Haven supplied. The little girl and I stared at each other and my heart clenched in my chest as the pieces slowly fell into place. This little girl had Haven's big brown eyes. Their slight and small stature. "Eri. This is my daughter, Riot." (Sequel to Pretty Eyes and Bowties)

I leave the classroom when all kids have gone to empty the water jug. "Hey, stranger." An all too familiar voice greets me from behind. I turn around, and behind me is Lillian. She stands an inch or two shorter than me in an elegant, pink, of course, half-sleeve, knee-length dress and black Jordan's. "Nice shoes," I reply. "I would say it back, but you wear the same shoes and the same typical shirt and black leggings," Lillian says honestly, walking with me back to the toddler room. I roll my dark brown eyes and shake my head from side to side, "One, I'm basic, and two, I don't dress to impress anyone." I declared, placing the empty water jug in its rightful place. "I know," Lillian whispers glancing behind her to the empty hall. She takes a step closer. "That's why I like you. You're not extra." I step around Lillian when I hear the sounds of quick footsteps approaching. "We're in church," I whisper. "I'm a sinner," Lillian says back, resting her hand on my arm. Her touch tickles the hair on my upper limb, "Jesus. I'm not." Lying in church. I turn away from Lillian and roll my eyes once more. God forgive me.
