It was so good to see Anna. She had chopped her hair off: it was completely pink. Keegan hugged her tightly and didn’t want to let go. “You look great. I love the hair. It looks so retro.”

Anna fluffed up the side of her hair. “Thanks, I bleached it and it was driving me crazy so I went with pink. It was supposed to be red, but this is how it turned out.” She shrugged.

“Well, it looks amazing. You look like a hip art student.”

Anna was wearing skinny jeans and a long teal t-shirt with a belt cinched at her waist. Keegan definitely thought she looked like an art student; it was a look not many people could pull off, but Anna was stunning.

“You look fantastic too,” Anna said, leaning over to hug Keegan again. Keegan had just thrown on a pair of holey jeans and a peasant top, going for comfort over style for the plane ride.

“Thanks.”

“Let’s go grab something to eat. There is an awesome bagel shop near by, and we can catch up.” Anna laced her arm through Keegan’s and led her to the parking lot.

They chatted about school on the drive to the bagel shop. Anna had made a lot of friends, and even gone on a few dates—which made Keegan feel like a failure. She still wasn’t sure why she wasn’t making a lot of friends in Alaska.

They walked into the bagel shop, and Keegan glanced around. It was a great atmosphere for hanging out: College students with laptops and books spread across their tables were sipping coffee and eating bagels. The walls were brown and hung with local art sporting reasonable price tags, and the large, dark mahogany counter was scarred by time. Keegan could see why Anna enjoyed hanging out there.

The girl at the cash register smiled. “Are you getting your regular today, Anna?”

Anna seemed to have found a place she fit in. Keegan was happy for her.

“Yep, that’d be great, Erica.”

“What about your friend?” Erica turned her pale green eyes to Keegan.

“Um, do you have white chocolate mocha?”

“We sure do! What size?”

“Some things never change.” Anna nudged Keegan with her elbow and smirked.

After they received their drinks, and Anna’s bagel, they found a small table in the corner.

“We really need to get a place together. Living in a dorm sucks.” Anna flung her bag over the back of her chair and fell into it. “My roommate is so annoying. Half the time, she shows up at three am drunk or with some guy. Believe me, that is not something you want to wake up to.”

Keegan shuddered. “Ugh. I would say not. Well, start looking for a place for us. I plan on moving here in January.” She glanced around and motioned with her coffee cup. “This place looks much more happening than Alaska.”

Anna’s face lit up. “I’m so excited! I’ve really missed having you around.”

“So, what has been going on with you? Are you dating anyone?” Keegan raised an eyebrow and took a sip of her coffee.
