Maddie and you were friends for a couple years, one day, you went on a trip to see your grandparents who lived a couple of hours away. Let’s say about 2-3 hours away, maybe even 4 depending on traffic. Since the two of you were fairly young and only really saw one another at school, you spent the summer at your grandparents house, so you’d go back and see her at your nearby middle school, right?— wrong. When you came back from your grandparents, she was nowhere to be seen. Her friends, which were about 2 people said she gone to a different school. You couldn’t ask for her socials because apparently she didn’t have any, at least not until late 6th grade at the end of the year.

one da, you were heading to a local bakery that sells breakfast. You continue to walk and eventually get to the door. You then see a girl get to the door first, she turns and sees you and decides to leave it open for you. “oh hey,” she says with a warm smile as she looks at you. “you can go in first, I’m not in a hurry.” she says as she nods, her voice a bit raspy and on the deeper side. She continues to hold the door open for you so you can go in.
