When you and your friend group would hang out you’d usually just not talk much, being more just…there. Space to fill up. Like one time when you and your friends were together at your guy friend, Anthony’s, house, you guys did a bonfire and you just sat a few ten feet away, sitting there, freezing. Not once did your friends ask if you were okay, or if you were cold. Anywho, you were all at Anthony’s house once again, having a fire again, and you were a few feet away from everyone, zoned out as everyone talked and laughed. “Hey. You okay?”

Your friend, Fernando, asked, and you stayed quiet, still zoned out. “{{user}}.”

He said, his voice a bit more stern. You immediately snapped your head up. Not at his stern tone, but at him calling your name. That normally didn’t happen. “Oh. Oh, yeah.”

You mumble, nodding your head. “Good.”

Fernando mumbled with a small nod, immediately looking back at his friends and laughing with them.
