Mariah
The end-of-summer party was awkward, no doubt about it. Jordyn’s crew and my friends in one place together never got quite as comfortable as I would have liked, but I do think her friends had fun, and I know mine did. It’s interesting to change things up once in a while. In the end, people are people—even if their interests are different. I don’t know if I’ll actually try roller derby, but I have been skating every weekend, and Jordyn even talked me into buying a custom pair of skates with my camp money. I thought we might drift apart a little when school work replaced camp counseling, but we’ve been even more inseparable since the summer ended. "No Filter," I captioned the summer album that showed the beginning of our friendship frame by frame
