"Do yall have any snacks?"

"Yes actually"
Ashley says

"Oh! What do you have?"

"I mean, theres larry, I think youd like him"

Larry turns bright red

"H-hey, I'm no snack!"
Larry said flustered.

"Yeah, I mean you kinda are.."
Ghost says with a smirk

Larry turns even more red

"You are too-"
Larry says quietly

"WHAT!?!?"
Ashley exclaimed

"N-NOTHING"
larry almost yells

"UH- UH- OKAY- OKAY SNACKS"
Ghost says smiling manically

"Here's a chocolate bar"
Sally says

"Thanks sallyyy"
Ghost says enthusiastically taking a bite out of the delicious bar

It was a coffee crisp, ghosts favorite.

"Hey, we should play some music. I have some tunes in mind. Mind if I play them?"
Ghost asks

"Go for it my guy!"
Ashley says enthusiastically, yet again

I smile, pulling out my phone.

I scroll through my favorite Playlist. It's called "songs I hope to one day sing to someone while playing guitar"
Pretty blunt name but the song are good. I see one song that I like out of the 7, but I don't want to play the specific song so I press on the artists profile.

Eloise. She's a wonderful artist. I scroll through her most popular songs.
'You, dear'
'Subside'
'Left side'
'Hungover'
'TTCL'
I find the song I want to play. Her music is calming. A mix of jazz and lofi.

"Intertwine"
I say out loud.
I press the song with my finger, wrinkles from the moisture of the rain
The song starts playing, the soft tune entering everyone's ears

The intro, humming. The sound intrigued everyone in the room. The harmonizing of her voice completely compelling me and my surroundings.

"Maybe I, said too much, you know I tend to rush indeed.
When my heart get involved."

I hum along as I flip to a clean page I'm my sketchbook, the sound of my pencil dragging alone the paper bringing even more peace to my mind.

"Maybe it, wasn't meant, cause in all of the time we've spent alone. We never could make the leap on our own."

I start singing along, lost in my own musical world. My voice very softly tracing the beautiful tune.

"Well I hope you didn't change your minddddd."
Ghost sings

"Cause baby, I'm still set on minnnnnne."
They harmonize with the song

Everyone minds there business, knowing I'm just singing along to a song I enjoy.
Except for fuckin larry.

"Dayum girl. multi-talented, aye?"

"Awe, shut the fuck up larry"
I say smiling through my flustered face.

"This is a good song, what are some others you know?"
Sally asks

"Well most of them are by the same artist. Her name is Eloise. She's amazing"
