“Girl, I’m so glad that these stupid-ass classes are almost done,” Melissa said with excitement through the other end of my phone. She and I had been friends for as long as I could re member, and though we had both been through some crazy shit, I was glad I had this girl as my best friend.

My friend was always the dramatic one out of the two of us, but without her, I wouldn’t be able to move through the day like I did. “Better. Don’t forget, it’s your turn to grab cof fee.”

“Shit… well, better make it forty then. See you soon.”

“See ya.” Cracking a smile, I hung up the phone, shaking my head. So much had changed over the past few months, and thinking about how our last year of school was about to end, I couldn’t wait to move forward with my life.
