Especially when they had been friends since the seventh grade. He seen what she had looked like in those awful awkward years. Mikayla laughed.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I guess. I'm finally tall enough to ride some of the big coasters at Cedar Point."<br/><br/>Mikayla said, talking about the amusement park not far from her home town. She had definitely been on of those kids that had late growth spurts. That cupcake book bag was long gone but the nickname had always stuck. She didn't mind it, though.<br/><br/>"So, what have you been up to?"<br/><br/>She asked, especially curious about the gun she had seen him holding before he noticed her.
