It was a Friday morning, and the roommates decided they should make the most of the sunshine. They went down to the park and invited Jay and Cassie along too. Tabitha suggested a group day out, under the guise of enjoying the weather, but in reality she wanted to take Luka's mind of his upcoming music recital in two days. His constant stressing out was seriously starting to worry her.

"So, then the powerpoint just completely shut down, and we could see all the tabs she had open!", said Cassie.
"They were all dating websites."

The group laughed at the story.

"No way, she must've been so embarrassed!", exclaimed Sutton.

Jay shook his head.
"Forget that, the most embarrassing part was that she accidentally clicked on one, and a guy's profile came up", he said, pointing to Tabitha.
"What was his name again?"

"The Love King sixty five", answered Tabitha, making everyone laugh again.

"Your creative writing classes sound so cool", said Jace.

"What about forensics? Now, that's a seriously cool subject", said Jay.

"It's really interesting, you know.
There's just a lot to remember."

"It's the same with paramedic science too", said Anvi.

Cassie turned to Luka.
"Are you excited for your music recital?"

"Uh... kind of.
Yeah.
I'm really nervous though", replied Luka.

"Don't be", said Jay.
"You'll be great."

"Yeah, and you'll have all your friends there to support you too", said Cassie.

"Do you two want to come?"

"Really? You want us there?", questioned Cassie.

Luka nodded.
"Honestly, I'd feel the pressure a bit more, but I really want you both there."

"Well then I'll definitely be there", smiled Jay.

"Me too", said Cassie.

KJ looked over at Cassie, a small smile appearing on his face.
The pair hadn't spent much time together, but KJ liked how sweet she was.
After living in a flat with people with pretty big personalities, it was nice for KJ to be able to talk to someone who was sweet and a little awkward.

"Ok, ok let's play frisbee!", suggested Tabitha.

The group spread out as Tabitha got a frisbee out.
Tabitha tossed the frisbee towards KJ, who caught it with ease.

"Comin' your way now, Luka!", called out KJ, before throwing it.

The frisbee soared through the air, missing Luka entirely.
It landed in a bush further down the park. Luka ran over to get it.
His eyes landed on a man in the distance, who was buying an ice cream.
Chills ran across his body, and he felt like his heart stopped.
