COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
new york, new york
10am

i walked alongside charlotte, carrie, miranda, samantha, and jemma into the main campus's office to check jemma in for her shadow day.

"i don't exactly understand why we all have to be here for this." said samantha.

"because her dad has his first day at his new job and couldn't make it and i just want her to know she's loved, you know...it's important for a kid undergoing divorce to know that." charlotte said in a hushed tone so jemma wouldn't hear.

i nodded in agreement with her and gave her a reassuring smile, "totally agree."

miranda, who had been silent the whole trip up to columbia, finally spoke up. "she'll be fine. she has us."

we all stopped outside the office of admissions where jemma was set to start her shadow day. jemma gave us all an anxious look.

"you got this, kid." i said, giving her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. the girls all chimed in with words of praise and encouragement as well.

the words of support must have helped because her shoulders relaxed and her nervous expression morphed into a nervous smile.

"thanks, guys. you really have my back, don't you?" she said.

we all shared a knowing look and smiled back.

"of course we do!" carrie said enthusiastically, the others nodded in agreement.

"who's mom?" the woman behind the desk asked the five of us.

the five of us turned our attention to the woman behind the desk, who looked slightly annoyed that we were standing there.

i cleared my throat and walked to the front, "none of us, but i'm aunt. her mom and dad couldn't make it." i explained.

the woman gave us a look of irritation, clearly not happy to be working here. "and you are?" she asked with a huff.
