"Hey pigtails!" said Jack, approaching Anna in the cafeteria. She had been sitting alone at a corner table.
"Oh, hey snowman," said Anna, smiling at Jack. "What brings you to the lonely corner of Corona's cafeteria?"
"So, I got this huge test coming up next Tuesday and I feel like I'm really psyching myself out about it."
"Uh huh," said Anna. Some things never changed.
"I was wondering, would you mind if I came over tomorrow just to hang out and blow off some steam? Feels like we haven't done that in forever, and I feel like it might calm me down a bit."
Anna was the one who scheduled all the hangouts. She slowly asked him less and less until she stopped altogether. It hurt too much.
"Mmm I don't know… I have my own assignments that I gotta…" she stopped as she saw Jack's expression. "You know what? Why not? Sounds like it'll be fun," she said.
"Alright! I'll swing by with some pizza at around 6, it'll be great!" Jack hurried back across the cafeteria.
Anna sighed, holding her head in her hands.
Maybe it won't be all bad. Maybe she could try to get some closure.
