Gathering Of Friends
"Matt has changed, hasn't he?" Erica's voice was as soft as a whisper, but the meaning behind her words was loud enough for all her friends to understand what she meant.
This blonde, who was usually so chipper and energetic, became subdued when it came to this topic. Her friends understood why, and they all felt the same way, even if they didn't express it as explicitly as Erica did.
Nate, Hakeem, and Nadia all knew what she was referring to. After all, although they didn't say it the same way she did, they all felt the same. These four were Matt's close friends, and they often did everything together, so it was a bit surprising to see only four of them walking as a group. Where was Matt?
"He sat in one of the seats at the back again, and he left immediately after class," Nadia muttered.
