Send me a " ○ " for my character's reaction to finding yours sitting outside in the rain, upset and cryingErica was wet and cold. The one day she’d decided to walk to school, the weather had freakishly decided to turn in the middle of the day and bucket down with rain. She reached her front yard when she saw her red haired friend sitting on the doorstep in tears. “Summer? Sweetie, what’s wrong?” She ran over to her and embraced her in a hug, pulling the girl’s head into her shoulder to try and comfort her. She hated seeing Summer sad and she would do anything to make whatever was making her cry go away.
Erica laughed as Summer inspected the shirt. “It’s not that bad, are you trying to call me fat?” she teased before walking back into her bedroom, the red head following behind. “Did you want to stay over tonight or I can drop you home if you want?”

But thanks anyway.” She pursed her lips for a minute, looking down at her hands. “When — I mean, how — I, um, about Dr Deaton? By myself?”
