chapter 1:

"Isn't it refreshing? when you know you can feel the grass underneath you and the breeze can sweep you away softly. That the nature that you appreciate is beautiful in many forms and ways?"

"here she goes again" a voice is heard. voice of Calvin. Calvin Mozart.

Meryl nudges him slightly. making him fall from the bench there are sitting on. The bench which can only fit three people is crowded with 5 of them.

Zoe rolling her eyes, helps him up. "why can't yall just adjust and shift to the side?" she says. angrily, yet calm.

Zoe can stur up a storm yet you'd feel protected somehow. though she's like the mom of the group. she dusts her black jeans as she gets up from the grass she was sitting on with james.

james and Zoe have been together from middle school. They are the High school sweethearts. going eight years strong.

"don't ask me that, Meryl starts her philosophy wherever and whenever she wants" Calvin says.

"it's like her pea size brain functions only to find the answers of the universe and the nature"

"oh cut it out! it's fascinating to me. not that your small *** brain will ever understand such stuff" she smirks, the smirk of victory that she got a point.

"is anyone even going to finish the project anytime soon?" Zayn asks, pushing his glasses above his head. his brown eyes turning hazel as the sunlight falls on his face.

"Nerd" Zoe calls him out.

"not a nerd, just don't wanna end up like you" he says.

Zoe rolls her eyes again, she seems like the expert in rolling eyes. if she was in a contest she would probably win that with no effort.

"yes, I've already got the notes prepared. we just have to put the concept and write that down" Meryl says, dragging her laptop towards Zayn and showing it to him.

James nudges Zoe. the indication that something good or either bad is happening where there's looking at.

Meryl scoots closer to Zayn. Their elbows an inch away from touching. A rom com scene out of movie.

his hazel eyes. turning brown as he falls back taking cover in the shadow of the rustling tree.

Meryl's red hair shinning as bright it can under the sun. Brighter than any shade of red lipstick you've seen.

"alright, I've got swimming practice. I'll catch y'all later" Calvin says, holding his bag.

"later, cupcake" he says, hitting Meryl on her head.

Meryl imitates his voice like the Dracula from hotel Transylvania. "do you want me to pick you up?" she asks.

"yes" Calvin shouts back as he walks away.

"okay, let's get this shit done now" james says gathering all the files that are scattered on the bench.
