[ Brianna thinks about what Lia said with a slightly dazed expression on her face. She takes a big gulp of her drink.

She remembers the huge amount of drama back in ISM, the competition, the backstabbing, the hair-pulling during catfights, the name-calling...the list goes on. Wow, we were terrible people. And to think we called each other friends. ]

[ A thoughtful look into her glass. ]

I miss them, but I really like the people here.
