FRIENDS

*Audra's POV, past.

High school was a bit easier now that Kyle knew about us living together. Well, at least after the first few weeks.

Kyle talked pretty fast and – let's be honest – sometimes it didn't seem like he thought much before he spoke. So, there were a few times he almost said something compromising, and that's with me present, I'm sure with Chris he had at least a few more. But, nothing bad came out of it as no one overheard anything - or we covered it up quickly.

Now, it was usual to see us three together and Chris seemed to be really happy to fit in and to have a normal high school experience.

I was also really happy to see him finally having a normal life, and so, so glad that he found a friend in Kyle.

And honestly, I was probably having my first good year of school in a long, long time. I always thought that I was better alone, but it turns out, I just hadn't found the right people to be around.
