_{YA LIT MEME :  [1/7] Friendships → Jamie Roth & Mara Dyer | Mara Dyer Trilogy}

_{“You look like you could use a hug,” said a voice from behind me. I turned around to face a smiling short boy wearing an open, white button-down shirt. A yellow T-shirt that said I AM CLICHÉ was beneath it.}

_{“That’s very generous of you,” I said, plastering a smile on my face. “But I think I’ll manage.” It was important to act not crazy.}

_{“Oh, I wasn’t offering. Just making an observation.” The boy pushed his wild dreadlocks out of his eyes and held out his hand. “I’m Jamie Roth.”}

_{“Mara Dyer,” I said, though he already knew.}

_{Wait, are you new here?” A mischievous grin reached his dark eyes.}

_{I matched it. “Funny. You’re funny.”}
