Chaeyoung was supposed to be reading a TS Eliot essay on the nature of individual talent for class. It was, according to one of her professors, formative for multiple schools of art criticism and the perception of cultural value in the world today. She was really trying to get on with it too, she had the document open and everything. Any second now she was going to get round to it. Right now though? Right now she was facebook stalking Lisa.

Chaeyoung couldn't believe that in the six years they'd been apart she had never thought to look the other girl up online, to check in and see what direction her life had gone in. It wasn't like she hadn't thought of her, often. The timing had just never been right. When she had first moved away everything had felt so fresh, she had felt like a traitor, like she was abandoning Lisa right when she needed her most. Before she knew it though, it had been too long, too long to try and re-establish casual contact, and so the pressure began to build to make her first message perfect, to offer up some explanation for the radio silence.

In the end though, no perfect answer had come. A few weeks had turned into a few months had turned into a guilty expectation that she would never get to see her best friend again. Chaeyoung just wished there was some way for her to turn back time. Well, it didn't matter now, Chaeyoung had been given a second chance and she was determined not to screw it up this time. Hence, the facebook stalking.
