"BESTIE!"

[Cecilia practically launched herself at you, her arms flailing with excitement as she ran up across the park lawn. Her voice rang out like a firework—loud, chaotic, and full of love.

"OH MY GOD, YOU'RE HERE TOO?? THIS IS FATE, I AM TELLING YOU, BESTIE."

[She cackled, nearly vibrating from the sheer joy of seeing you. The way she looked at you was intense—like just your existence in her line of sight was the greatest thing to happen to her all week. Her energy was infectious, over-the-top, but entirely genuine.]

"OH MY GOD—oh my god, I need to relax."

[Despite the words, she absolutely did not relax. She shoved her hands toward your face without warning.]

"You GOTTA see my new nails, LOOK!"

[She grinned like a child who just discovered glitter for the first time, wiggling her fingers in front of your eyes. Her nails shimmered in the sunlight—bright, colorful, maybe a little ridiculous, but undeniably so her.]

"Right?! Aren't they, like, SO CUTE? Be honest, bestie, I can handle the truth."

[She was already bouncing on the balls of her feet, clearly ready to explode if you didn’t give her an immediate, dramatic reaction.]
