"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
"No way!" I bellow, a little louder than I intended to be, making heads turn in my direction but for once I couldn't care less about how much attention was brung to me. At least not in this moment, I didn't.
"You're joking, right? No way that actually happened!" I say in between laughs as Ren's lips curve into a smile.
"I'm one hundred percent serious here. It totally happened," she says with a straight face before laughing making the two of us like the two biggest idiots on the planet from the size of the grins we wore and the times we clapped our hands together in delight as we learned embarrassing new stories from each other.
"So you're telling me that when you were fifteen years old you pissed your pants at a concert when you saw one of the One Direction guys walk metres away from you and then because you had no extra change of bottoms you decided to sit in the area soaked with pee?" I laugh harder than I have for a long time, occasionally slapping the table in humour as I watch her cheeks not even take on any colour in embarrassment.
"Exactly," she says with a smirk on her face," now, young grasshopper, your turn to spill the beans. What are your most embarrassing moment," she asks, her body leaning back into a relaxed posture as she examines me.
I was stuck.
I thought and thought yet nothing seemed to spring into my mind as I looked up rewinding my memories to my earliest years.
Suddenly, a memory hits me hard and I remember something,"well, it's definitely not as funny nor exciting as yours was but I can remember being knocked out during an intense game of dodgeball back in tenth grade and got a minor concussion and ball PTSD," I smiled back at the painful memories of school.
Ren held her hand above where her heart is and laughed loudly.
"Dude, that is freaking awesome," she clapped her hands as if I had won some gold medal in the Olympics, "a ball phobia? Now, girl, that is hilarious. Sucks to be you," she winks taking the whole sentence the wrong way around making me blush crimson and my body to heat up as if I had just been placed in an oven for an hour.
Throughout the space of however long we were sat in here, we laughed like maniacs as the two of us shared everything about ourselves during our harmless game of twenty questions which seemed innocent to begin but as questions went on and secrets were spilled I began to realise how brutal Ren Chang really played.
