Lucas slapped me hard on the chest. Well I sure as hell wasn't expecting that! "What did you do that for, bro?" I began soothing my chest, as he shook his head negatively as a reply.

"That's his first text to me in a million years! I just might faint." That would make the two of us if Pascal called you back when I crashed Dad's car.
"What should my reply be? Should it be like, "Sure thing!" Or, or, "Okay, whatever," Mei suggested, a little too eagerly.
Lucas patted her on the back, pretending as if he was actually concerned. "Just be yourself, Mei."
I just simply nodded in return. Mei then typed her reply quickly.
