 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash looked up at Evan. Since Lisa was totally her little sister, that totally made Evan her brother. But she didn’t mention that, because love was not an emotion she knew how to/wanted to express. And thinking of people like they were your siblings was weird. Instead she just held up her sketchbook and smiled. Did he recognize it? It was his birthday present to her.
“Hi.” Did she want to be disturbed? Eh. But it was Evan so it was alright. He was cool. Ivy- she was cool too. Ash smiled at her too, as best she could. ‘As best she could’ wasn’t very good, but at least she was trying, yeah? “I’m ready for this summer. I’m gonna see Brandon and Theodore, I’m gonna meet this ‘Charlie’ and this ‘Megan’ that I’ve heard about, and!!! I’m gonna go surfing.” Her smile, which had temporarily vanished, returned in full force. “I’d like to invite some Hogwarts kids over. To my house probably.” That would be nice. She paused. “I’ve been thinking of finally going to therapy...” Her friend had shown her how to contact his therapist, soooo... maybe she’d do it. Maybe. “I wish the feast would start. I forgot to eat breakfast and lunch today.” Sigh. She could have had yogurt with fruit in it. Missed opportunity. She doodled some food in the sketchbook. It was NOT the same. “What are you doing this summer?” |
