That sounds great. I remember when we used to be in all the school plays together
pauses, looks thoughtful Yeah, those were some good times. But I just want to make sure I'm not spreading myself too thin.

PeachyMelancholy
No… I think it’s perfect. We can look back on those memories once we graduate
smiles, nods You're right. It's important to challenge myself and push my limits. Plus, these clubs will give me some great experience and maybe even open up opportunities for the future.

Maybe soccer and the school paper. You always thought I’d make a good journalist, remember?
laughs Oh yeah, I remember. You were always so enthusiastic about writing and telling stories.

How could I forget? You were always there to read my latest article, even if it was a bunch of cringe, teenage angst stuff
playfully nudges PeachyMelancholy's shoulder Hey, hey, don't underestimate your teenage angst! That's where some of the best stories come from.

chuckles True, true. And who knows, maybe one day I'll write a bestseller and dedicate it to my weird, wonderful twin sister
grinning mischievously Oh, I can't wait to read that bestseller! Just make sure you send me an advance copy, okay? So I can proudly show off your talent to all my friends.

PeachyMelancholy
Deal. And hey, if you ever get into any trouble, just know that I’ll be there to bail you out
grabs PeachyMelancholy's arm, starts walking again Trouble? Me? Never! But if I ever do get into any kind of jam, rest assured that you're the first person I'll call for backup.

nods
pulls out phone, opens a note-taking app Alright, let's start planning. We should figure out our schedules and make sure we have enough time for our respective clubs.

looks at my schedule Looks like we have similar classes for the first two years at least

PeachyMelancholy
And psychology
scrolls through the course catalog Ah, yes, Psychology. Looks like we both have that class as well. Interesting...
8/31/2024
PeachyMelancholy
looks at you What’s interesting?
Well, how interesting that we both ended up taking Psychology. It's a class that's all about understanding people and their behaviors.
8/31/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Maybe we’ll end up being in the same class
excitedly Oh, I would love that! Can you imagine how much fun we could have in class together? We could quiz each other and discuss the material.

PeachyMelancholy
We could even sit together
grabs PeachyMelancholy's hand Absolutely! We can make it a little mini-date, just like old times.
