Now let’s go back to the time I entered the restaurant

The place was of course Italian, we loved our spaghetti.

Angel's mom made a reservation for us.

I was the first to arrive so I was nervous. Not sure exactly why in general.

Kyran arrives in second behind me she always is being one step behind me most likely rushing out after a late afternoon nap.

Her brunette hair is frazzled and messy.

Her blue eyes pierce at me in panic

Her clothes baggy and unkept, the definition of comfort.

Most likely she’s thinking she missed the whole thing

“DID I MISS IT?!!” she practically yelled

The customers around her looked and stared at her

I snicker

of course classic Kyran

She covers her face with her messy long in embarrassment

She Quietly says “sorry”

Although she got some glares, most people went back to eating or talking.

She takes steps towards the corner of space I made for us.

I hurriedly call her over

Laughing while I do so

“Oh shush like you wouldn’t do the same” she says

“No no I wouldn’t I’d not yell for that matter” I say

Just thinking about that situation gives me shivers

My anxiety would never allow that to happen thankfully in some ways.

The second to last person to arrive from my friend group

Was Sam

She on the other hand had her black hair neat in a ponytail. Her beige jumpsuit lay oversized on her.

She smiles at kyran and I.

Most likely excited as I am to use this chance to bring our group back together

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

She struts towards us huddling in the space we made away from human traffic.

She breaks the silence

Even as she sees Kyran desperately combing her hair with her hands to get the strands straight.

“So do we think the boys going to be as angel said “the most perfect boyfriend in the world” sam says

I cringe

God I hope not I think

If the persons too perfect their hiding something..

And the boy better not be

More people enter through the people traffic

Luckily we stand at the side It’s a few more minutes before.

The “power couple” has arrived

Angel with her dyed silver hair

Her brown eyes piercing into mine

With a smile on her face

It’s like she only sees me

Then I see the boyfriend

His hand clinging onto her like a koala

Back to the present I notice

His dark blond hair

And brown eyes?

I don’t pay enough attention to notice

My eyes are on the hands

I breath in out

“What are you getting so worked up for?” I yell at myself

I plaster a smile on my face even when I don’t feel that way towards the guy.

I focus on angels smile and the dimples that show

The way it’s brightening at me

Then my smile becomes genuine with ease.

We finally make our way to reservation

With angel does with such ease

But I know she struggled with it I’ve been there for her in the past

But now she’s holding his hand

I breath a nervous sigh

Ok this is just a dinner just with friends no worries

He’ll have to like us right?

Were his girlfriends freinds

Oh how wrong I was

We got situated in the booth

I with the “two love birds”

Ugh

Sam and Kryan went on the other side

I don’t know why but I couldn’t stand the thought of angel being alone with him completely

He still clings to her even as we sit

He doesn’t speak to us or even try when we try to engage

To say the dinner was dull was putting it lightly

It wasn’t it was awkward as heck

Since he kept on cuddling her like a panda

And although I was jealous

I knew angel didn’t like it such as well

She kept on pulling off his arm

We sang happy birthday soon later

Time to say goodbyes

It’s sad that I barely said a word to angel

But I think she understands the boyfriend Which I now know is named

Jack didn’t let her say or do anything

So we all said goodbye I hugged her tightly

Not knowing when I’ll see her again

Even when knowing her boyfriend was there

I took a chance and kissed her cheek not even comprehending why I did that

But I felt a rush of blush on my cheeks after And I didn’t dare see the angel's face.

Later I came to the conclusion that because I knew it’d be a while until we see each other

Again I wanted her to remember me by something?

Other than the image of her blond haired hazel eyed best friend.

I want to be something more.
