We've got a nibble!
Hook ‘Em Up
As part of that mission, we showcase talented content creators within the BuddyUP community, who also display a positive attitude and a community mindset, through our weekly curation post, Hook ‘Em Up!
Our @BuddyUP community is growing and so is the quality content inside the POST POOL channels. Often, that content can be easily missed in the vast ocean of Steemit.
It’s our mission at BuddyUP to grow together, support each other and highlight the fantastic content that is created by other members.

She sat at the opposite end of the bench, facing the woods with him. Talia waited the briefest moment before letting the words rush out with complete abandon.
"Meet here tonight at 8?"
The boy didn't hesitate to answer. "Sure. What time?" His English was mixed with a foreign accent. It was unusual, but calming. Soothing.
"I said 8." Talia replied, frustrated at how breathless her voice was. Why wasn't he reacting this way? Was she wrong?

The flag of Bangladesh is pretty simple, it consists of a green background with a red disc on top of it, the red disc is slightly shifted towards the hoist side of the flag (left side).
