—- 4 months later ——

I went on with my day. For the first time once more, after four months, Me and Mel we're going to go to church again. I didn't think much about it. Ally didn't go to the same church as us anymore but we always often met. And we see her in church once every week.

I didn't even want to go..But yeah, we had to wear black and white. I wore my glasses, a plain white long-sleeve, and a Black floral skirt.

I wore my lip tint and blushed my cheeks, and that was it. Mom never really allowed me to wear makeup..

I continued on with my day, with a feeling of unease stirring in my stomach. I didn't know why though, probably gut feeling? It had been four months since I last went to church with Mel, and I didn't think much of it. Ally, our former church friend, had stopped attending, but we still saw her there at least once a week.

The dress code for today was black and white, so I reluctantly wore my glasses, a white long-sleeve shirt, and a black floral skirt. My mom never let me wear makeup, so I only applied a lip tint and blushed my cheeks.

My dad picked me up and we drove to Mel's house. I couldn't help feeling nervous as I missed my friend and wasn't looking forward to seeing people from my childhood after so long.

"I wonder how they evolved- HAHAHAH," and Mel replied, "Yeah, we haven't seen them in so long!"

As we entered the church, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. The plants, flowers, and beetles were still the same, as was the big white mansion with the grand staircase leading up to it.

After completing our "duties" for the day, an "activity" was announced, which turned out to be some sort of socializing event. FOR PEOPLE FROM 13-30 OH HELL NAH. I hated socializing and was content with sticking to the friends I already had. I guess I've always been a shy person.

The activity would be held outside, so at least there would be food. Mel and I headed outside and stood close to the bench as the sun began to set. It was around 6:00 pm when people our age and those between 18-30 began to gather around. We were then instructed to split into groups of two.

Laiza's pov, February 12:

... I haven't seen these people in so long, do they even remember me? I hope ill be grouped with Mel because I do not want to talk to the others right now. not in the mood for conversing.

The leaders suddenly said teasingly; but they weren't joking : "So, We're going to separate the close ones. hmm, Let's see who are the best friends here.."

Mellow, go on group 1. Laiza, go on group 2.... bla bla bla Kayden goes to group 1 Brody goes to group 2 likewise.

**we were told to play 3 different games and so we did. I was teamed up with Brody, and other teens. I just HAD to be placed right beside Brody smh. Feels weird being beside someone you and your best friend used to stalk every Friday. Brody was Ally's all-time crush before and God knows what happened am I right?

I was just there complaining the whole time and Brody just kept overhearing what I was saying.

I mean sure the games were fun,

There was one with numbers and you had to rearrange it as a team blabla I legit saw Kayden holding up a 69 and honestly I chuckled. really, in church?

I was always the type of person with a shitty sense of humor.

I just kept complaining about how the prices were shit because it was chocolate with nuts. fucking nuts. I was deathly allergic.
