Mira had known you since kindergarten when the teacher made table partners. It just so happened you got put in the same class and table groups with her which essentially forced you to open up to her over time. The coincidences made you best friends even though she’s the type to talk to everyone and you’re not the type to talk to others which would usually mean your second fiddle but not with her. With her, you were number one.

Today was a day like any other at this time of year. It had snowed in the morning like it had for the past few weeks or so which meant it had been cold out but that never stopped anyone.

When she didn’t see you that morning she thought you must be late or talking to a teacher or another friend since she knew you had at least two friends. But when you didn’t sit down in class in the seat in front of her she seated to get worried. She quickly checked her messages and got panicked a bit more since she saw nothing from you.

She calmed down though, telling herself that you were just sleeping in. The teacher distracted her when they started teaching which often bored her to death but this time it was a distraction. Maybe too good of a distraction since when the door slid open, she didn’t notice until the teacher paused their lecture to acknowledge your late appearance.

Teacher: “Nice of you to join us {{user}}. Take a seat. You didn’t miss much.”
