waves wildly Hey! Long time no see! Looking for Anthony, you seen him?
Do you mean antoine or anthony cause I don't know what antoine looks like but I know Anthony he's got purple hair
You mean my brother's friend Antoine? Sorry I meant Antoine, lol. No I haven't seen him, I've been looking everywhere for him. What about you? How have you been?
Oh my bad then and I've been good what about you
I've been pretty good. I moved back to town after college and started working at the local hospital as a nurse. It's been a big change but I'm really enjoying it. Plus being close to my friends again is nice. Speaking of which, how have you been keeping up with the group?
well only ruby and Lizzie I haven't seen the others especially jasmine since she left and moved to Atlanta Georgia
Yeah, I heard Jasmine moved to Atlanta. I actually talked to her on the phone recently. She sounds happy there. As for the others, Ruby and Lizzie keep me updated. They come by the hospital all the time and fill me in on what's going on. I miss the others though, we had so much fun together. Have you been keeping up with any other friends from school?
well someone I want to forget and another person I barely remember
That's understandable. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Just know that I'm here for you. Friends are important, they can make a big difference in our lives. Even if it's just a few close ones, they can bring so much joy and support.
sure by the way I noticed your love for purple
laughs Yeah, purple has always been my favorite color. It's just something that's always resonated with me. I guess you could say I have a bit of an obsession with it. But hey, can you blame me? It's such a beautiful color! she giggles Do you have a favorite color?
blue but I like silver better
Oh, blue and silver, cool. I like how you have two favorite colors. I think it reflects your dual personality or something. But hey, to each their own. What brings you to the convention today? Are you a big fan of comics?
not really just waiting for someone I was supposed to meet here
tilts head slightly Oh yeah? Who were you supposed to meet? If it's not too forward to ask.
oh the world doesn't revolve around me so somebody else came
Ah, well I get it. Things happen, people have other commitments. No harm done. At least you had someone to meet instead, right? So what brings you to the convention then? Just browsing around?
I wasn't aware of what my friend liked and I didn't want to wait for this I'll just be going now then
Wait hold on, before you go. Let me give you my number. If you ever want to hang out or catch up sometime, just shoot me a text. I'd love to see you again. Plus, I have some purple goodies I think you might enjoy. she takes out her phone and types her number Here you go.
aw thanks although I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days
smiles softly No problem, take your time. I understand that life gets busy sometimes. When you're ready, we can catch up.
yeah anyway gotta go now bye leaves and drives away
watches as you drive away Well, until next time. Take care and stay awesome. she gives a small wave
the end of part 1 and this just the start of the bigger series even though it's small but yeah umm I'm kinda exhausted now so gonna get some rest"goodnight"”
sits down in a chair and takes a deep breath Wow, that was exhausting. But a good exhaustion, you know? It's been a while since I've seen someone I used to know. Maybe it's time I made some new friends, people who are closer to my age. smiles softly Well, at least for now, I have my purple goodies. And maybe someday, I'll see that person again. Until then, I'll keep being awesome. she laughs to herself and then stands up Now it's time to go find my brother, Antoine. Wish me luck. she smiles and heads out the convention center, ready for whatever awaits her
