"I'll be back in no time, I promise." Irys said before leaving Bae. 
She hummed, she missed hanging out with Bae. They live with each other, yes, but their schedules are always against them meeting one another. They had school AND part-time jobs, so she really missed hanging out with Bae and just talking with her. 
"Oh god, this place wasn't that packed earlier." Irys said, having some trouble getting inside the house. 
"Irys? Is that you?" Irys turned around only to be tackled by a girl. 
"I-iofi?!" She blinked, the girl got off her and smiled widely. 
"The one and only! How've you been?!" She asked excitedly. 
They haven't seen each other for quite some time now, Iofi was a friend she made when she was traveling because of the career she was building for herself. 
"I've been great! I'm surprised to see you here!" They were screaming at each other, not because they were angry or what-not, but because of the loud music and loud people. 
"Wanna grab a drink inside and talk, maybe?" Iofi offered. 
Irys' eyes widened, right. "Ah, someone's waiting for me... so I don't think I'll be able to chat with you." 
Iofi grinned and shook her head. "Not a problem,  we can catch up some other time, yea?" 
"I would love that." Irys smiled. Iofi took her arm and pulled her. 
"W-wai—" 
"Don't worry, I'll let you go after we get inside the house." Iofi said and kept her grip on Irys. 
Took them 2 minutes to get in, parties... gotta love them. 
"Phew..." Iofi wiped her sweat making Irys laugh. 
"That was something." 
"Hell yeah it was." Iofi said and looked around. 
"We're in the kitchen, wait let me grab us some drinks. What's yours?" Iofi asked. 
"Oh, I can—" 
"Nu-uh, what is it?" 
Irys sighed, she won't budge. So Irys just told her to get two bottles of beer and some OJ. Iofi nodded before heading to the fridge. 
Iofi came back with two bottles of beer. "Hold this." She said before going back to the fridge and coming back with a can in one hand and orange juice on the other. 
"Chat with me for 5 minutes, just a little checking up. How's life?" 
Irys shrugged. "So-so, some days are bad and some are good." She said. 
"I see, still the same. And your career?" Iofi asked. 
"Slow progress but... I'll get there." Irys grinned making Iofi nod. 
"Of course you will, with that voice of yours? Hell everyone will love you!" She said. 
Irys laughed and took a sip from her beer. "Not quite sure about the 'everyone will love you' part, Iofi." She smiled sheepishly. 
"Baah! Nonsense! You're pretty, you're kind, and you have a great voice, what more could they ask for?" 
"Wow... you really have your way with words, don't you?" 
Iofi laughed before drinking from her can. "What can I say? That's how I reel them guys and girls in." She wiggled her brows making Irys laugh. 
"Oh god, that was awful." She said making Iofi raise a brow.
