"This is the family I chose for myself, and you're not taking them from me." (CLOSED BUT STALKERS ARE LOVED AND APPRECIATED)

"Same though."

Abby brushed her hair behind her ear.

"I was in love once. In highschool. it was beautiful. but it turned out not so good. but anywayyyyy so tell me about this boy" she said pulling Abby to the couch and sat down criss cross, her entire body turned towards her.

"We met in college… We had the same minor… We went to each other's games, my hockey, his baseball… And we were just friends," Abby recollected with a small smile.

"Friends now, more than that later" Kendra chuckled.

"I don't know about that." Abby rolled her eyes.

"mhmm whatever" she said, getting up to get some coffee.

"We're just friends! Not every 'guy-girl' friendship has to turn into love." Abby insisted .

"didnt say it did. but you like him" she said in a sing song voice from the coffee pot in the kitchen.

"That is true," she piped up. "I don't like Jazza like that."

"As. A. Friend."

"I doubt that Abby. i really doubt that. i know a love struck girl when i see one. I was one!" she said exasperated and done fighting. Kendra went to her room with her coffee and sat on her bed, and scrolled through her phone.

Abby looked at her hands in her lap. Her phone buzzed. Moments later, she burst into Kendra's room worriedly. "He said Hey. What do I say?"

"What did i say? love-struck. Just say hey back" she chuckled and sipped her coffee.

Abby frowned but sent Hey. "So… now what?"

"Wait for him to respond. make him fight for your attention but dont make him feel like hes not wanted."

Abby blinked. "What?"

"Nevermind" she said bluntly, turning back to her coffee.

Abby looked at her phone. She squealed excitedly. "He responded!"

"What did he say?" she said, looking up curiously.

"Would u want to meet up 2night at Azalea's," Abby read. ( cute little café or someting?)

"Ha ha" she said triumphantly. "A date. perfect. Say yes i have just the look in mind." she said standing up and walking to her closet.

"It's not a date," Abby insisted , but typed back. Sure. Sounds like fun! What time?

"Fine. but your dressing up. you have to look cute, if not for the boy then for yourself." she said digging through the closet trying to find what she was looking for.

(Ah………..Idk want to do)

Abby crossed her arms and waited.

(Veda could come in, if you want.)

(Sure, I gtg to bed though.)

Veda walked into Kendra's room to ask her something, and saw Abby there too. "Hey, what's up?" She asked, sitting down beside Abby.

(Aww, okay!)

"My friend and I are going to a café tonight," Abby explained semi-vaguely .

"Im picking an outfit for her" Kendra saide from half inside her closet trying to find what she was looking for.

Abby rolled her eyes. "If it'll take you another half hour, then forget about it!"
