Prologue ~ Ivanna
You know that feeling you get when you're seeing someone after a long time? Or being home after being away too long? That's how I feel right now. I haven’t seen some of these people since I started high school, we are all seniors now. Except I moved out of Vermont all the way NYC, I moved here the summer of 10th grade, and have been here two school years. The school that I used to go to is on a two week long vacation, and all my old friends decided in a group chat they were gonna come visit me here. I live by myself in an apartment across from an old theater. My parents decided that they needed me to be able to survive on my own so they rented an apartment for the school year I lived in. The theater had some broken pieces, other wise it wouldn’t have been creepy at all. Summers I went back home. They want me to get used to it for college next year.
Leo, Evan, Ria, Verena, Mara, and Emily were coming for the next two weeks. Leo and Evan would be staying in my guest room, Verena, Ria, Mara, and Emily would be sharing a hotel suite down the west side. About a 10 minute walk from here.
We have Leo, the guy I liked since fifth grade, the guy I told in seventh, the guy I went to my first school dance with as ‘friends’. Well, yeah, he’s coming to the city I live in, and staying in my apartment, so yeah currently crashing out a little bit. He was the smart guy, top of all his classes. I tried so hard to match his smarts, until I finally did… After I moved.
Evan was my go to when I needed help in classes, or cheering up. I remember when he and Leo (May I say his TWIN) tried to get me to track (Failed) “You can do javelin, long jump, and the 100!” is more what they said. They had left us their freshman year, but we all stayed in contact. He and Verena are now dating from what I understood from the group chat.
Ria was somehow my cousin, (my dad’s dad’s brother’s something?) She was sweet, in seventh before I had told anyone I liked Leo, she had told me she liked Leo… I had kept trying to convince myself I didn’t like him after that, until she stopped liking him.
We have Verena, The first person I EVER told about my crush on Leo. She had liked Evan most of the seventh (Actually until like January…) Then she liked Mara who she dated for half of eighth, maybe less (Eight months), (Yes Verena’s Bisexual) at one sleepover we based bets on when they broke up (Spoilor, I won the bet.) She was also so supportive. She’s that one that if you mess with her she will throw hands…
We have Mara, who's basically my sister, which is weird because she could’ve been my cousin (DON’T QUESTION) she’s lesbian, and we all support her. She had been liking Verena since the September before they started dating, which broke her heart when she found out Verena liked Evan. And I’m pretty sure she and Evan are beefing right now.
And finally we have Emily, one of the sweetest people on earth, I’ve known her since preschool I believe. She and Ria are the closest (except for maybe Leo and Evan) and most Iconic duo there has ever been. I can very well describe the time they started singing “Let it go” from Frozen In the cafeteria. Ah, those were the days. OH GREAT. Now I sound like my dad.
And now I just have to survive two weeks with my childhood (maybe current) crush living with me. Yay?
