It was the end of summer when they first met. 

Despite it being her second semester in college, she still didn't feel completely belonged in her new school. Her instinct was to stick with the friends she made from the first semester, despite people telling her she should "make new friends and step out of her comfort zone". She really didn't want to be in the same class as them, but they were the only people she knew in the class.
