<human>: Starting from last Monday, I found out that one of my best friends, who I thought moved to Georgia, came back and is staying here! I was extremely happy to see her that I actually had a few tears of joy when I saw her.

Eventually, my high school decided to partner up with producers from **HBO** to create two short films for this competition called Teen Arts. This isn't the first time this happened and we already made [another short film last year] ( only this time I'm actually a part of it along with a couple of friends! As of right now, we are only in the planning process but I will update when we actually finish, which will hopefully be by February if things go smoothly.

Lastly, I decided to grow balls and actually ask a girl out! This has been the first time since I've done this and so far the process is a bumpy road (she has said maybe and I'm currently giving her a week so she can decide whether it's a yes or a no) but I am confident that everything will work out and hopefully it'll go smoothly. This whole process has been a journey, with nearly all my friends supporting me and has thought me a lot about things from experience alone. Even if she says no, I'll still be happy either way thanks to me being so confident.

And now I'm getting ready to visit my home town again for Thanksgiving and meet up with family. These two week have been a blast and, for once, I can't wait till I go back to school again to continue this wonderful process I'm making!

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
