Sleepover

Wednesday
To Thursday,
What best friends do
Whenever we get the chance.

Sleepovers are when
We get to chat
And joke,
Even share opinions.

We talked about deadlines;
The one that was steadily approaching.

We talked about tests
And the anxiety they bring.

We talked about math;
How difficult it’s going to be.

We talked about Spanish;
How we’d rather not
Have to speak it.

Before we knew it,
Her mom was waiting for her outside my house;
Time to say good-bye.

“Bye Ally!”
I tried to smile
As I gave her a hug.

The final goodbye
Bitter
And sour.

“Have a safe flight!”
I waved until the car was no longer visible.

This coming semester
Is going to be
The hardest one
Yet…
