        Once again as a new day starts, I find myself walking back into this hellhole we humans call school. Sighing, i close my locker, only to be greeted by my darling best friend Mia, she smiles brightly at me, for which i in return just stare.

"What do you want now?" I asked as I walked past her, she chuckled but didn't say anything and just walked with me, i decided that i would stop by the cafeteria's cafe and grab a cappuccino today. As we walked i could feel her eyes burning holes into the back of my head, i decided to ignore it and keep walking, after she realized i wouldn't turn around, she started to make these obnoxious noises, I of course continued to ignore her and pick up my pace, as she began to get irritated with me i could hear her huffing and puffing behind me.

"Kariiii! Give me attention dammit!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. I stopped and turned around, glaring at her in the process, because now everyone was staring, looking at us like we're crazy, actually scratch that, looking at her like shes crazy, i stared fixedly at her only then to discover that she got a haircut, I eyed her up and down noticing she went a little shopping as well. I couldn't help myself as i cracked a smile, soon after into a full blown laughing fit. she stared at me a bit puzzled, to then look as if she got what was funny, and then burst out laughing as well, the people around us, now believing that maybe we have gone mad, and were purposely keeping they're distance from us, like they were scared to catch the crazy or something.

"Is that it? You wanted me to notice you got a new make over?" i asked trying to calm my laughter, She grinned at me while nodding her head excitedly, i smiled while shaking my head.

"Well, does it look okay? how does my hair look, do you think it suits me?" I put my hand on my chin, while pretending to think it over, she bounced on her toes, with an impatient look on her face, i laughed.

"Mmm-mhn looking like a damn run way model with them long luscious legs, that outfit will give these hoes a run for their money, and don't get me started on that gorgeous face and soft silky hair guuuuurl-" I was cut short as she erupted with laughter.

"OMG STOP!" she yelled as she clutched her stomach, with tears in her eyes, i just stood there grinning away. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, when i pulled it out i noticed that i had 4 missed calls, and 10 text messages, from my other best friends Tiffany and Kaiyah, i opened up text messages from them asking where i was, after reading them and responding, i told Mia that i'd meet her in class, and that i was going to go get a cappuccino before the cafe closed, she in return smiled and responded with okay before turning and skipping off to class,

I stepped into the classroom as soon a the bell rang, the professor stared at me, however said nothing, to which i took this as an ok to walk to my seat, when i sat down, i took out my notebook and pen and waited for him to begin the lesson, he finished taking attendance, then slowly stood.

"Alright class, today we'll be doing things a little differently today, and what i mean by that is, since your all in your senior year its best that you start looking for internships, so I've asked a friend of mine, whom i went to college with, who now owns his own business, to stop by and give you guys some advice, on how to go about doing so." the girl sitting next to me raised her hand with so much force, i'm surprised the roof didn't blast off, as she waited for the professor to call upon her. he simply pointed at her, indicating she was free to speak.

"so you said we're going to be getting help with finding internships, are you basically guaranteeing that all of us are going to have somewhere to work after college?" i glanced at her from the corner of my eye, and looking at her i could tell, it probably took all her will power to come up with that question, the poor child wasn't the brightest, i'm surprised she even made it thus far, let alone into college at all, but i guess that's none of my business.
