A Small Reunion

Today was the first day of class in a while for Livie and me. I sighed and told myself that I had to go. It wouldn't be good if I procrastinated.

Livie and I were already awake, and the both of us walked to class. Walking in, the students that were already in were staring at us. 

"Holy shit! Charlie, you're still alive??!" A familiar voice appeared, calling out to me.

Everyone then looked at the person who spoke the vulgar words. Ruby hasn't changed one bit since I saw her. 

"Alive? Why would I be dead?" 

"You were away for two weeks and four days." It was creepy how she kept track of the days we were away.

"What commission did you even take for it to take so long?" She was being quite nosey. 

"Olivia and I had taken an escort mission that took six days to complete. Our pay was two platinum coins each" I had said Livie's name to Ruby, and I got too embarrassed to say her nickname in front of her.
