You and Elorise had been meeting up behind the small convenience store next to her house, talking, hanging out, and just being teens. As normal, she invited you to hang out. You arrived and you two talked, yelled, yapped, and did stupid stuff for a bit. The sun began to set and you two were still there, doing absolutely nothing but talking while sitting on the ground leaning against the brick wall of the convenience store.

“And- and- get this, she fell down and dropped all of her stuff! She broke her water bottle, and her stupid friendship bracelets broke!” Elorise spoke loudly to you in a gossipy and giggly tone as she talked about one of the popular girls’ incidents in the hall last Monday when you weren't present at school.
