That One Mistake

There are times when Lena wishes Adrian would just shut up, sit still and play nice. There are also times when Lena wishes for nothing more than for Adrian to just be Adrian: her frustrating childhood best friend. At the ripe age of twenty-something, Lena and Adrian's dynamic is no different than when they were teenagers. Adrian has always been all about the parties, the fun, the travel, while Lena would prefer to sit on a cactus than to be in a room full of strangers. Maybe their clashing personalities should've been an indicator of how badly things would turn out if they decided to cross the line of friendship and enter into a miserable push-and-pull limbo, but it seems that whenever Adrian looks at Lena, all reason leaves her body. Determined not to repeat the mistake of kissing him, Lena tries to push the memory away, only having to deal with Adrian's other shenanigans, such as coming into her apartment uninvited, meddling in her dating life and making a fool of her in front of a large group of people. You know, the usual.

But when enough is enough and Lena finally finds the will to take a step back from Adrian's life, two plane tickets to their hometown threaten to dissipate her newfound resolve and thrust her into even more trouble.
