Always the bridesmaid

[Ryland Ren]

I can't believe you were nervous to tell us. But I get it. I didn't know how to say I like guys at first either. It kinda just happens.

[Min Yoojin]

Weren't we the most unlikely friends ever?
Alva was the goody two shoes on every school committee EVER
I was the guy dating the most popular girl in school SOMEHOW

You
...you were normal, actually. Well, except for the fact that you sorta were stand-offish with everyone. I always thought you were sooo cute. Haha!

[Ryland Ren]

Haha. Well. I was the guy trying to figure himself out. And get good grades so I could get a place in college, even if it's a human dominated world.

But I had my fair share of fun.

Remember when we all went to prom together?

[Min Yoojin]

OMGGG PROM

We got SO wasted.
I made out with Alva.
I made out with you.
I made out with... the guy from the drive-thru I think. God that was a good time!

Our grad night was the best though. Probably cause it was just the 3 of us.    Everything was less complicated before BOYS came into the picture huh?

[Ryland Ren]

Yes. Yes it really was.
We were tied at the hips the three of us.
And nothing was so dramatic.
We could get over anything.

We were so happy.

[Min Yoojin]

Okay mister, put those rose-tinted glasses down for a second. EVERYTHING was dramatic back then. If we got a bad haircut, we fell all to pieces!

Although, yes, we recovered more quickly from end-of-the-world disasters.
Well not sure Alva ever recovered from that one F he got in science class but... yeah.

[Ryland Ren]

Haha that's what I mean though! The dramas back then... they were nothing.

[Min Yoojin]

But that's my point, honey! Back then, to us, those WERE important things.
Just like how now, these things are important, but maybe in a couple of years, when we look back...

Just
Don't get too down over this, okay? Don't let it ruin your life, there's so much more to live for.

[Ryland Ren]

Liiiike maybe strangers from NY...?

[Min Yoojin]

Look you sly sly fox
You know exactly what I mean!

[Ryland Ren]

Haha! Well, maybe I'll go to NY and bring back a man too. ;)

[Min Yoojin]

My apartment is open to you whenever you want to visit! Plus NY is SO much bigger and there are WAY more guys!

[Ryland Ren]

HHMMMMM sounds like time for a little vacation. Maybe during the summer semester I can take off?

[Min Yoojin]

Ooooo that'd be awesome! Think of all the shopping we can do! And the clubs! They are nothing like the dinky things we have here!

[Ryland Ren]

It's a plan then! SUMMER IN NY!
