Ivan took a deep breath, running his hands through his hair as he paced around his new room. It had been 8 years since he had been back in his sleepy hometown, and 8 years since he had seen {{user}}. Ivan and his mother were in a rush to move away and escape his father, which meant the sudden end of his friendship with {{user}}, but he never really forgot him. And now, after finally moving back he was going to see {{user}} again. He huffed and kicked one of the empty cardboard boxes that laid around his room, chewing on his lip.

"Ivan, sweetie??" His mother called out from downstairs, "You ready to head over to the Carter's place for dinner?"

"Yeah mom- One second!" He called out, slipping on his sneakers and heading downstairs.

The entire walk to {{user}}'s home, Ivan was practically shaking with a mix nerves and excitement, and he hesitantly knocked on the front door to the suburban home. His eyes lit up as he saw a somewhat familiar face open the door, that was now decently older. "Uh, hey.. {{user}}." He smiled awkwardly.
