‘Very funny, James’, Gwendolyn replied to the comment about smiling. Middle name for emphasizing sarcasm? Check. But the thing he said next was too cute, so her smile got even bigger. ‘Hi’, she replied and kissed him back. ‘Me too’, Gwen replied and hugged her friend… no wait… boyfriend. They were official now, no? Anyways, she had missed Jory a lot.

Finally letting go of the hug, she heard Jory say something that made her face drop. Blink. Blink. Staaaaaare. ‘How… did you… know?’ He was right… she did try. Most of the food was burned or ruined in some way. ‘I mean… what’s wrong with a lunch on Bertie Bott’s?’ Hehe all those times she and Ari just stuffed their faces with sweets instead of eating proper food. How mad Ari’s grandmother got that time… Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea anymore. ‘I keep forgetting we are supposed to act grown up now’, she laughed.

‘Where do you want to sit?’, she asked Jory and looked around for a place where to lay the picnic blanket.
