"Hmm. What does she have on her phone..?" Rose questions, scrolling through Zoya's instagram. "OH MY GOSH!" Rose yells, the whole class turns their heads. "Sorry guys... I found something." Something hat included two guys that I have not seen and thought would never see again. Their names are Zach and Lonokai Madden. Two brothers, whom me and Zoya had crushes on as little girls. I liked Lonokai and Zoya liked Zach. 

In the photo, which was barely new and was posted this morning, showed both of the boys posing in front of Toronto university with peace signs. Zach was wearing black pants with a light brown hoodie and white shoes while Lonokai was wearing a black hoodie with black pants and white vans. Zach has short dark brown brown hair which is slicked back messily, brown eyes, a slit in his eyebrows with a piercing and a piercing on his left ear. Lonokai has sorta something like a buzz cut, a slit eyebrow, chocolatey brown eyes, dimples, mocha skin tone, a really defined jawline, and a piercing on each side. And dang, they really grew up well. 

Zoya comes back from the bathroom and finds me snooping through her phone. 

"Um, Rose, what are you doing?" 

"Um.. what is this?" I asked 

"Oh haha, I just found that this morning and thought I could save it..." 

"Okay, but how in the world did you happen to find this picture out of every picture in the world??" 

"It popped up on my feed for some reason." 

"Not complaining though... they actually look really good." I chuckled. 

"I totally agree. I remember Zach being two years older than me and Lonokai being one year older." 

"Ah, I see. Oh, aren't you into older guys? You could TOTALLY  go for Zach." I joked 

"Oh TOTALLY, hahaha." Zoya said sarcastically. 

                                                                                                ~~

"Um, excuse me?" Someone tapped me on the shoulder. 

"Hmm?" I turned my head and saw a girl next to me. 

"Hello, sorry to bother you, but can you help me find our online textbook for this class?" She asked. 

"Oh of course. So, go to the home page..." 

Zoya signs and looks away from us and observes the classroom walls. She finds a poster that stands out to her and of course, knew I would take interest too. What is it you may be wondering? It's a poster about special doughnuts that are only sold on the first day of college. 

Zoya, practically drooling says, "Rose! Rose!" 

"Hold on." 

"Rooooose." 

"Hold on!" 

"Rooooooooooose!" 

"WHAT." 

"Look at that poster! It says it's selling special doughnuts that are only sold on the first day of college!" 

I gasp. "We have to go at lunch!" 

"That's what I'm saying!" 

"Oh.." I turned to the girl. "What is your name? Sorry I didn't ask you earlier." 

"No worries! I'm Belle, and these are my other friends from high school, Tiana, and Scarlet." 

I looked next to her and saw two girls waving at us, so, of course we waved back. 

"Nice to meet you guys! What are your other classes after this?" Asked Zoya. 

"All three of us have the same schedule." Said Scarlet. 

"We have 2nd period math, 3rd period history, 4th period child development, 5th period science, and 6th period PE class." Tiana answered. 

"No way." Rose and Zoya said together. 

"We have every class together!" I giggled. 

"Really? What a coincidence! That's awesome." Belle proclaimed. 

"It really is. Let's all be good friends." Zoya said. 

"Sounds good to me!" Tiana said. 

                                                                                            ~~ 

Zoya and I drove home but before that, just like Zach and Lonokai did, we took a picture in front of Toronto University and posted it to Instagram with a caption saying "Made it through the first day of college with my best friend." It was posted on both our accounts. 

While at home, me and Zoya got our pajamas on and got ready for bed. 

"It feels nice to unwind after today." Zoya stretched. 

We cuddled a pillow in each of our beds and had a small pillow-talk." 

"Honestly was not expecting to see them today." I said. 

"At least it wasn't in-person. That would be so much more embarrassing!" Zoya said. 

"True. Let's just see what tomorrow holds.." I breathed.
