Start from the beginning
                                    

Soon, we finish our food and make our way home.

As soon as we walk into the house, Daria gets a facetime call.

"Oh! It's Winona! Do you mind if I answer it?"

"D, it's fine. Go talk to your friend." She gives me a quick hug, and answers the call.

"Hey Winnie!"

"Hey, Daria!"

I smile at the pretty girl. "Nice to meet you Winnie!"

She smiles back. "Nice to meet you too, Ellie."

"Well, I'll let you girls talk, I'm gonna go unpack, okay?"

Daria nods and flings herself on the couch, giggling.
