“I don’t know” Kyle shrugs and takes a drink fro back in high school”
I just stare at hiethers like this weren’t Ava’s thing because she doesn’t like to socialize or so Which is total bullshit
Trust h parties and social events over the years to comprehend that she loves to socialize, loves parties, loves people
She just has an aversion to assholes Like him and his superficial wife
“She never went to any parties or anything back in the day I uess she had some friends, but she never expanded her horizons in the social real,” he adds, and that’s prettypoint
I have zero use for this guy or this conversation
“Did you ever think this kind of shit wasn’t her thing because your wife and her little groupies were downright assholes to her?” I toss out, and Kyle’s face morphs into utter shock “Or that maybe you and your buds were total dicks to her?”
He just stares at me
“Or, ood for you and your wife and all your asshole friends?” I shrug “Personally, I think it’s the latter, but who knows,” I add and pat him on the back “Maybe it’s a coht, Mr Reunion King I bet it feels really good to get that crown tonight Certainly a huge accomplishment that in no way straddles the line of pathetic” I clink ainst his, take one last drink of lasses in ht for Ava
Tiirl
She stands in the far corner of the rooh-school-clichés chatter around her, and I’m certain I’ve never seen her more bored in all my life
As I get closer to their group, I overhear so said
“Ava, it really would have been nice if you could’ve inal dessert plan,” Callie says, stupid princess crown on her head and a passive-aggressive suess, but I think everyone could agree they miss the mark a little for this event”
Good God, this wos we should be focusing on, she’s consuh school reunions, and cupcakes
“Hey, sweetheart,” I interject into their conversation and step right into the circle, grabbing Ava by her hips and pulling her close to me
My presence disrupts the little po, and I swear I hear Callie scoff behind me
But who the fuck cares about that woht?
Iup atblue eyes and amused smile, I am utterly entranced
