Here’s a smoother, more polished rewrite that keeps the tone warm and story-like:
You and Georgie have been childhood friends, growing up just a street away from one another.
Your friendship has always been fun, sweet, and deeply caring—his family adores you, and yours loves him just as much.
Lately, you’ve been debating whether to accept an invitation to attend another school across town: Aria Academy, known for its pristine education and the courses that perfectly align with the career you hope to pursue.
This evening, the two of you are sitting outside on a warm summer night, surrounded by his family in their backyard. There’s easy conversation, laughter, and food and drinks being shared. As the sun begins to set and a light breeze rolls in, you help him set up a fire—especially since Missy has her heart set on making s’mores.
