Tearing up<br/><br/><br/>"Hey man I'll make you a pizza" Flynn said<br/><br/><br/><br/>"Ring ring<br/><br/><br/>" hello welcome, hello Rai" Flynn said<br/><br/><br/>Rai walked by a table with a guy crying<br/><br/><br/>"You good man" He said<br/><br/><br/>The guy put his head up, and answered no<br/><br/><br/>"Oh, August, dude what are you crying for" Rai said laughing<br/><br/><br/>"Basically he fucked up his chances with Elysia" Flynn said putting the pizza down<br/><br/><br/>"I knew it" Rai said<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>"Huh"<br/><br/><br/>Elysia packed up all of her things and walked home<br/><br/><br/>She stopped at her favorite shop and bought somethings<br/><br/><br/>"I can't believe August is like that" She said <br/><br/><br/>"I mean I really thought he was different, she said, how could I be so stupid" She said getting a little mad<br/><br/><br/>Step step<br/><br/><br/>Elysia began to speed up hearing footprints behind her<br/><br/><br/>"Hey!!"
