Chapter 17 : Reminiscing

*Juliet*

“Do you remember this place?” Eric asks, gesturing around the halls of the elementary school. I chuckle and look around. The hallway looks exactly the same, except for the student’s artwork and updated posters.

“Wow, this brings me back.” I grimace at the memories coming back to me.

“Come on, I wanna show you my room.” Eric raises his eyebrows in excitement. He ushers me down the hallway and swings open one of the big wooden doors.

“Tada!” Eric says as I enter the room. I laugh and look around the room. He has only decorated one wall so far but it looks nice. “Okay, okay, I can see you judging me but I just started yesterday! I think it looks pretty good.”

“No, no,” I protest through laughter and Eric runs around the room. “I’m not judging. It looks great, so far. Can I help?”

“Ah, see, I was hoping you’d ask!” Eric claps his hands, excited. He goes over to his desk to dig through a big box of items.
