“This is so exciting!” Sophie squeals walking into our new dorm room. She kicks off her flip-flops and throws her hair into a ponytail. “I feel like a new person.” She’s all smiles and bouncing around but I know her; deep down she misses home. If she stops finding things to be excited about, I’ll have a very depressed friend who might ditch me soon. “Soph, you really didn’t have to come here.” I love her for it but it was a last minute decision. She missed me too much and decided to enroll in U Miami instead of where Zach was going. She should go to a school she wants to be in. Sophie places a hand on her hip and pouts at me. “You don’t want me? Well, now I feel like some reject who followed her best friend across the country.” “It’s technically just the East Coast.” My lips curl into a smirk when she narrows her eyes at me. “Whatever.” She walks up to me and hugs me.
