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.
