I could use some cheering up, and Vicky would be just the girl for that. I got changed into some durable shorts and a shirt, and put a few essentials in my backpack. It seemed like every other visit to her place ended with her convincing me to go along on some kind of outing.
I slinked out of my house and out into the summer sun. Already I felt better as I made my way down to her place. Things had gotten so weird around here, so it would be nice to get away from it by spending time with one of my closest friends. After a quick jog I was at her home.
