23:Friends...

Author Notes
And that about wraps up Chapter 1.

Although I originally considered a short hiatus between chapters, I’ve come to the decision that, “Nah, that idea sucks. Nobody likes waiting. And since I’m doing so well with keeping up with pages, it’s not even like such a hiatus is necessary.” So be sure to stay tuned for Chapter 2, coming up this week via the normal update schedule! ^_^

I’d like to make a special shoutout to a friend of mine for stating: ''“Gavin made Rain cry. I'm sticking with calling him Jerky McJerkface until he apologizes.”'' I was so amused by the name I actually changed Maria’s dialogue a little in the third panel to add it into canon… just like I told myself I wouldn’t. But you know what, it actually does suit her to say that somehow…
