I just got home and Madison engulfs me in a hug.

Madison: "Ember, please don't ever leave me like that again."

Ember: "I promise I won't. I have actual friends now and a boyfriend that I know is not using me to get to you, Madison."

Madison: "That's fantastic. Do I know them?"

Ember: "Yes. It's the 4 boys I disappeared with. You know the goth boy, Felix?"

Madison: "Of course."

Ember: "Well, he is my boyfriend now."

Madison: "Lucky, he's got that cool mysterious vibe to him."

Jared: "Alright, for tonight I have prepared your favorite. Beef teriyaki and rice."

Ember: "Thank you so much."

I hug Jared.

Ember: "I'll be right back."

I go up to my room to put my bag down. I see my galaxy poster and smile. Then all of a sudden the stars come out of the poster and float toward me. They go around me and when I try to touch them, they disappear.

Ember: "Woah."
