I wonder if there's even the slightest chance I will hit 100 chapters before the year is over. With my track record, not a chance, but I guess you never know till you try. Just gotta push through!
Chapter 59: Keep Your Friends Close…
"Oh…Beat."
"Eri…"
"I didn't expect to run into you here…you look well."
"Thanks. I've been workin' out."
"Well, it shows! I hadn't seen you for a while, so I was worried for you…"
"Worried for me? Girl, you're trippin'! I ain't ever in trouble, yo!"
"I'm glad to hear that. We should hang out sometime. I miss you."
"Yeah, absolutely. I'll catch you later."
"Bye, Beat. Bye, Rhyme! It was great seeing you again!"
"You too!"
Pause.
"Wow, Beat. You handled that a lot more maturely than I expected!"
"Who knows. Maybe I've done some growin' up."
"Maybe you have! You know, they do say you should keep your friends close!"
"…And you're enemies closer."
"Hmm?"
"Oh, nothin'. Nothin' at all…"
"…"
"Ehehehehehe…"
"…"
"Hehehehehehe."
"I'm done."
