Hazel's POV
For the first time in my life, I felt free. I mean, I was free before, but not like this. This time I was truly happy and allowed my friends to influence my happiness. I was happy with my mum, but having these two girls close gives another kind of feeling that I can't describe. If mum saw me now, she would probably throw a fit. I am a friendly person, at least I like to think that I am, but only to people I am already familiar with. I wouldn't even waste my time talking with you if I didn't know who you were. Sometimes I wonder how a chronic introvert such as myself ended up having two social butterflies as friends. Riley and Sam are the only two I never say no to, no matter what they asked. We were supposed to contribute half and half or, in our case, one third of everything
