(Kallias)

"Hey Thomas. It's Kallias from Mr. Hutchins class"

"Oh hey. What's up?"

"Did he let you know that he wanted some of us to pair up with new students?"

"No he hasn't"

I offered to help Mr Hutchins notify the students about who they're paired up with. I told him I'd save him the headache of sending emails to all of us.

"Oh ok. Well we have to meet with them before Wednesday's class. You're with Winslow Haut"

"oh ok cool. Do you have her number?"

"I don't" I texted him back.

"But you can find her through IG"

It also might have given me the chance to change some things.

It was already an hour since I'd been at the library and I was growing hungry so I texted Rett and James to catch some lunch. Finding out Maya's number would be my next task.

"Hi Maya!"

I was sitting at a sandwich shop near campus and looked down at the text on my phone.

"Who is this?" I replied.

"It's Caterine. I got your number from Anna.
I was texting to see if you want to go out tomorrow night with some friends of mine. I know it's a school night but if you'd like to join, you're more than welcome 😊"

I slowly chewed my sandwich, and debated the offer.

"Sure. I'll go"

"great! I'll send you details later"

I was proud of myself for actually choosing to go. I hadn't really gone out aside from the first night when Anna and our other program directors took us. But I had just stood there, in the back of the club, somewhat chatting with some people, if saying "excuse me" 10x counts. Everyone else was black out drunk or almost there when we reached our residence building. Hopefully this time I'd have fun. Enjoy myself.

I finished my sandwich up and headed out the door to finish up some homework and call my other friend Willa.

Willa was a redheaded girl, very honest and social able. Unlike Aniya, Willa was the type of friend who had no shame in not sugar coating what she thought. If there was ever a time you needed a friend for back up in an argument, Willa was who you called on.
