Kiara arrived late to one of the COLLEGE ‘friend’ group outings. This time, Marissa was hosting and had planned the whole thing, even though we all know she didn’t. “Come on, guys, let’s go in!” Marissa grinned, waving her hand at the group.
They went inside the famous Korean hotpot place in this part of town. The delicious aroma filled the air, accompanied by the chatter of other customers having fun and drinking sake or beer.
Jason grinned, tapping some of the others in the group. “I’m surprised you came early, Kiara. Usually, you’re the spot-on girl on sight!” He chuckled, making a few of the others laugh as they went to the seating area Marissa had reserved.
Kiara mock-glared, forcing a smile. “You’re making such a big deal out of this, Jason. So what if I was a tad bit late?” She forced a chuckle. “You’re usually the last one to leave, drunk at these things, aren’t you?” She teased him back, her smile fooling everyone. Everyone... except…
The others laughed and began pointing fingers at Jason as everyone sat down. Kiara moved and sat next to you.
