Marshall didn't know you at all. Your moms were best friends, knowing each other way before you two were even born. You guys went to the same school, but barely even noticed each other.

Your moms wanted to meet up at the mall, bringing you two along to introduce you to each other. Now, Marshall was a social butterfly, and you weren't. You talked to people to be nice, even if you weren't comfortable.

You got out of your mom's car, holding your phone as you entered the mall.

Your mom: "There she is."

Marshall's mom: "How are you guys?"

Marshall was sitting on a bench, scrolling on social media.
