"This-" Jared points between them, still looking through his bag, "we are not doing this. Please, Evan. We're catching up, like old high school friends, you know, on sitcoms. Where do you live? Are you still fucking that girl? Daaaamn, you have the wrong taste in grocery stores."
"Jared," Evan's saying, "Jared!"
"It's kind of funny, because we're picking up again, but we're also starting over," Jared's saying, still in this weird, false-earnest, mocking-a-sitcom voice.
"We weren't even friends in high school."
Jared and Evan run into each other after seven years of silence since the Connor Incident. They become... *checks notes* friends? They become friends.
a boy too bad for her to have corrupted by his own flaws. A girl too innocent and naive who needs to be saved. What happens after one of their "friends" switches up out of jealousy???

Reese - I heard a baby voice whisper "owie" I slowly looked down to see Aliyah-Rose pouting with unshed tears in her eyes. 'She's adorable...wait what. You've known her since 6th grade, and you think-' my thoughts were interrupted when I heard her whimper and sniffle. I dropped my bag and kneeled down gently picking her up. "Kitten, are you ok?" I see her blush deeply to my words and I chuckled lowly to myself she nodded before looking up at me. 'God she's short' I wiped her eyes with my thumbs softly and smiled. "I didn't see you there tiny kitty. You're very small...easy to get knocked over." I mumbled the last part frowning. I didn't like how she was so little it was easy to not see her. "I'm ot- I mean I'm ok Reese", she looked down fiddling with her fingers. I stood up slowly and she watched me as her eyes widened at the height difference. I'm 6'8 and she's at least 5 feet tall. I frowned looking down before asking " Do you want to be carried kitten?"
A damaged soul falls for a pure one. Is Reese going to find the meaning of true love and will Aliyah finally understand who she really is.??????
