After saying goodbye to Stan, I sat at my desk to catch up on a little work. I opened my folder and begun to fill out more of Stan's character sheet. Before I knew it, I was stalking him on social media. I scrolled back to his instagram post from 2015, it was a picture of him and a familiar looking girl. I recognized her from Stan's memory.

I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Stan got to live a normal life while I was stuck in training since I was a kid. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. But sometimes I wish they caught on to my powers a little later in life. Knowing there was nothing I could do about it, I put my phone down and quickly showered before meeting Stan.

As I was leaving my dorm, I waved down the hall to Kyle, who had also just left. He smiled, and jogged over to me.

"Hey dude, you ready?"

"Yeah!" I motioned for him to lead the way, partly to be polite and partly because I had no idea where to go.

As we were nearing the elevator, it dinged and the door opened. Someone must have clicked the wrong button causing it to come to our floor. If we walked, we wouldn't make it in time. Kyle looked to me and grabbed my hand, practically dragging me down the hallway. As soon as we made it in, the doors shut.
We both leaned against the wall, breathing heavy.  I hadn't ran that fast since my baseball days. I glanced at our hands, which were still clasped, and looked away quickly. I couldn't help but blush. I mean, Kyle was cute. Embarrassed, Kyle let go of my hand and rubbed the back of his neck. We didn't speak for an awkward 45 seconds until the elevator dinged and the doors opened to our floor.

Just as our walk was beginning to become more comfortable, a dark haired girl opened a door down the hall and motioned for us to come inside. Is that who I think it is?

"Kyle! There you are."

"Hey Wends. This is the new recruit-"

"STAN MARSH?" Wendy interrupted. She ran up and hugged me.

"Wendy? What are you doing here? You said you moved to the east coast back in 6th grade."

"Oh that was all a cover up story made by Mysterion. More importantly, what are you doing here?"

We walked into the cinema and I filled her in on everything that happened since she'd left up until yesterday.

Wendy and Stan knew each other?
I trailed behind the two as Stan rambled on about their teacher "Mr Garrison" going from a man to a woman and back to a man again. I was so lost in thought trying to keep up with the story I had hardly noticed we were nearing the theatre.

We all filed in and sat down, Stan sitting to my right, and next to him sat Wendy. Since Tolkien and Craig were still arguing over which movie to watch, we still had a few minutes to talk.

"So... how do you two know each other?"

"We had a little elementary school fling, nothing serious." Wendy said.

"Nothing serious!? Do you know how hard a sobbed when you left? I sat on our bench at Starks Pond and mourned the loss like you died."

Starks Pond...

"Oh! You're the girl in Stan's instagram post!" I blurted out, only to immediately regret it. Stan gave me a confused look.

"Did you stalk my insta?"

"What? No... thats silly." I said.

"Then how would you know I posted a picture of us back in 2015?"

"Um... Mysterion needed me to gather information on you before going to your house yesterday. Yeah... that's why I was on your instagram." I said quickly. It wasn't entirely true, but I also wasn't necessarily lying.

"I guess that makes sense."

Thank God he bought that. I didn't have time to give the situation a second thought before the movie started. Terrance and Phillip the movie, really?

I feel like i'm lowk bad at writing so feel free to give CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
