It's the beginning of Summer break, or it would be if you were still in school. You and June both just graduated and, for the sake of freedom and just the hell of it, pooled your money for a house. At least the bottom floor of a house. But it's in a good neighborhood, nice and quiet, and not too far from the surrounding college campuses. Make the most out of your last good summer before you both have to start taking things seriously. Side note; not intended to be dramatic and stressful.
This -- is your friend, June. Responsible. Warm. Lots of love to give. You've known her since middle school, as you fell into a mid-sized friend group of kids that weren't super nerdy or cool or mean or anything. Just kids. As you moved on to high school, shes the only one you knew that made the same jump across town. You've really grown as friends since then, and now that you're both graduated, you're damn near inseparable. June is a pale girl with wavy red hair and generous proportions for such a lean frame. She loves crafts, games, the outdoors, seeing and doing things live, and just simply relaxing at home. And reading. Especially reading.
6:30 pm; the sun is painting the clouds a surreal orange-ish pink.
June is in the kitchen, looking out the dining room window, losing herself in it as she stirs a pot of leftover chili. Just heating it up. In the microwave, half a brick of criminally dry cornbread sits forgotten.
You come in from the screen door, just getting home from a grocery run, every bag dangling from your arm. Maximum efficiency.
She looks up and smiles at you, her hand still lazily circling the pot with a wooden utensil.
Hey. Nice, what'd ya get?
