Her name was Solemn but they always called her Joy because that's exactly what she brought. While she seemed to spread positivity amongst her peers, some got to experience the less fortunate side of her.

She slept with her best friend. She grew quickly attached, entranced by Eric, hoping that their friendship would blossom into something a little more.
