Once I'm done with all my classes. I head to some nearby cafeteria and I text the girls asking them to meet up with me. I send them the location and wait for them to show up. Some minutes pass by, Kelly and Tess show up.

Kelly is in blue skinny jeans, a white string top, black yeezys and a fear of God tote bag, while Tess is in a pink long sleeved knee length body tight dress which holds her body precisely in all the right places. To top the look, she has on black boots and a cream white floral tote bag. Seems like tote bags are the new in thing, I need to get myself some.

They seat at the table and a waitress comes over to take our orders. I order a capachino cause I can really use one right now and kelly orders black coffee while Tess orders a smoothie. I notice that Torah is not with them and I figured that they were all going to show up.

Out of curiosity I ask them " where's Torah."

Kelly rolls her eyes and responds, " Shes out to party with boyfriend number fifty something if not sixty." I spit out my cappuccino and look at Tess who's glaring daggers at Kelly. "What? It's not as if I'm lying. I wonder how she doesn't have AI_" I cut her off before she finishes her sentence. Kelly can be brutally honest sometimes. She literally has no filter. I notice that Tess's mood has changed and I change the topic to lighten up the mood.

"Sooooooooooo, guess what happened." I tap on the table making light sounds and they both raise their brows signaling me to go on. I tell them what happened from the field, to the almost punching each other and finally to the coach. " I really wanted to be on his good side, but he seemed so furious. Need I tell you that first impressions are very important for me?" I question them and they just roll there eyes as if what I'm saying doesn't make sense.

What I let out next makes them both choke on there coffee. "I think I like bryann." They look at me as though I've grown an extra forehead. "What guys? It's not as if his a bad guy." I sigh, "you guys don't even know him."

Kelly tries to say something but her words fail to come out. She looks at me in disbelief, "You mean to tell me that you and French guy are going to be a thing?"

I roll my eyes, "just because I like him doesn't mean that I'm going to date him. "I let her know. Torah just keeps quite looking between the both of us. "I mean, dating him is not such a bad idea." I finish off.

"You know his friends with Adrian right?" Torah questions me and kelly shakes her head in agreement. "Don't you think it would be wrong if you dated him? I mean we all know that he has anger issues and I don't think he'll take this lightly."

I take a long breath in and exhale trying to calm my nerves. "Guys please!" I let out a little too loud and the few people in the cafeteria start looking our way. I lower my voice with my fist on the table. "Why does everything have to revolve around Adrian? Can't I freaking leave my life without his involvement." I get up and storm off.

I know I've acted irrational because they're only being sensible. I gather myself and head back in and take a seat in my previous spot. I literally had the walk of shame. I sigh. "I'm sorry."

Torah holds my knuckles and caresses them. "its all good."

After the mood lightens up we talk about different things. We talk about our first day of class, we also talk about our lectures. Some people we spotted in class and the like. Kelly happens to be eyeing this guy in one of her classes.

We decide to head back to our apartment after having a long chat, in the midst of our conversation, we decided to order some donuts which I've decided to take some with me because they were too delicious and I wanted something to munch on. More like a late night snack.

We open the door to our apartment while chatting with each other. Kelly is the first one to walk in and I'm right behind her, she freezes by the door. "Kelly move. We want to get in, it's not time for games." I laugh while pushing her in. Once I'm in I also stop in my tracks drop my donuts down trying to process the scene in front of me. It's like time freezes for me. I can't seem to move, I'm stuck in one position. I snap back to reality when I hear crying tess asking me to call an ambulance.

On the living room floor is Torah laying lifeless with some white powder smeared on her nose.
I grab my phone with trembling hands and dial 911 while kelly is trying to perform CPR on her. The call taker answers the call. "911, what is your emergency."

"Uh-uhm, I thi-think my friend just overdo- overdosed on some drugs." I say in between sobs. "My- our address is 1118 Princeton." I sniffle "plea_ please send help."

"Okay an ambulance is on it's way. Is she breathing?" The respondent questions me.

I move to where kelly is giving her cpr and I feel her temples. "Yes, but her pulse rate is very weak." I say over the phone.

"Do you know what drug she overdosed on?"

I scour the room for any clue and I spot a bottle of pills adjacent to were Torahs limp body is at. I grab the bottle from the floor. "I think she took opioids." I let her know.

"Okay try giving her mouth to mouth resasitation while waiting on the ambulance." I live the phone on loud, I try to give her mouth to mouth while the call taker is reassuring us that the ambulance is almost here, but that doesn't seem to bring her back. In no time, the ambulance arrives and the medics ask us to move aside while they lay torahs limp body on the gurney.

Tess drives with them in the ambulance whilst kelly and I drive in her car.
