“Okay, you choose this time,” Ian agreed. He wasn’t sure what she had in mind.

Kaori withdrew back, a bit shocked. "You're not Nagi," he said. "And no, but I have witnessed… certain events."

Cassie shrugged. "I don't know. We don't really have anything interesting here. If you were feeling really childish, we could go play tag," she laughed. "But I don't think that's going to be your first choice. Or 20th, for that matter."

“I’d say it’s closer to my sixteenth choice,” Ian joked with a laugh. “But honestly I’m up for whatever, I guess.”

"What events?" The waitress cane and dropped off the water. "Are you ready or do you still need more time." Nagi quickly looked over and smiled. "More time please." She nodded and walked away. "And I am Nagi, how rude." Nagi felt a bit relieved to finally get some answers, even it gave her more questions.

"You're… you're not the same. I feel like you're a totally different person," he sipped his water.

"I'm not the complete same. Now, what events how you seen?" Nagi just wanted to make sure she wasn't some mean girl. "If you can be my partner in this and help me find some answers, I'll tell you what happened." If anything, Kaori might be the perfect person to tell.

“I’d say it’s closer to my sixteenth choice,” Ian joked with a laugh. “But honestly I’m up for whatever, I guess.”

Cassie laughed. "I'm only joking. I have no clue what we should do."

“I don’t know either,” Ian replied. “I guess we can just talk if you want.”

Cassie shrugged. "Alright, then."

“So what do you do in your spare time?” Ian asked. “I mean, up until today I’d only seen you at school and it wasn’t as if we ever really talked much.”

Cassie shrugged. "I read a lot. I do some acting occasionally."

“Acting? Like in movies?” Ian queries, clearly surprised but also somewhat impressed.

Cassie hesitated. "Er, yeah. I've done a few shows. Nothing major, just a few small roles," she assured him quickly.

“Can we watch them?” Ian asked earnestly, his eyes shining. “But if it makes you too uncomfortable, we don’t have to,” he added after a few beats.

Cassie visibly cringed. "God, I hate watching myself act, but um… there's a few on Netflix," she turned on the tv and switched to Netflix to find the shows.

“You are seriously the coolest,” Ian said, smiling. He hardly interacted with anyone outside of his exclusive friend group, so this felt nice.

Cassie snorted. "No, I'm not. Ok, I was in a few episodes of this one," she clicked on the show and scrolled through the episodes until she found the right one.

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about; you’re so cool and you can’t see it,” Ian explained. “It’s because you can’t see it that makes you cool.” He repeated his words in his head, cringing. It was true that he admired that she and Nagi had their own version of coolness, not seeming to care much about the opinions of others, but he would never admit it. Except, of course, he just did. He blushed, ready to tell Cassie to forget it, but didn’t open his mouth. He kind of wanted to see her reaction first.

Cassie blushed and laughed quietly. "Okay, shut up so you can see my shitty acting."

“I’m so ready to see your great acting,” he replies, a teasing grin back on his face after the moment of candor.

Cassie scoffed, groaning when she saw herself come on screen. "Look away from the horrors."

“Why would I look away?” he teased. “I asked to see the horrors.” He actually thought that she didn’t do half bad.

"Ughhhh, it's disgusting," she buried her face in a pillow. "At least I'm not sobbing in this one," she muttered.
