Start

It's the beginning of a new semester.
Someone is running towards you and screaming your name.
Oh...
Of course it's Teresa.
She's always more excited to see you than she needs to be.
Sometimes it's annoying but you and her have been friends for so long that it isn't weird anymore.
"Hey ___________!"
"Hey Teresa. How are you?"
"I'm great! Can't wait to start the new year with you!"
All of a sudden you hear another voice coming from behind you.
"There you guys are!"
You know that voice anywhere. it's Paloma.
"Ugh. I really don't want to be here right now," she says.
"Oh come on Paloma," you say. "It'll be a good year!"
