Chapter 45: Epilogue

“Yet you say you're bad on camera,” Riley said after hitting stop. I threw my hard backwards then laughed heartily. I finished telling her the story of junior high. She could've done the documentary herself but Riley being Riley hauled my ass straight up to Chicago. It was nice seeing your best friend after a long time.

“For a boring nerd, you sure had a busy year,” she chirped, packing up her equipment. I chuckled once more then stood up to leave.

“I sure did. I enjoyed every bit of it and wouldn't change anything.”

“I can't stop thinking that nothing would've been possible if I didn't force your sorry ass to that party.”

“Right, everything happened to me, but you got all the credit.”

“Yep,” she responded, popping the "p.”

“I missed you Riley Smoak.”

“Oh I know you did,” she responded, and we both laughed once more.

This chapter of my life was done. I had two best friends, and a boyfriend. I saw my father and mother and I had the best high school experience because truly, magic happened.
