"What's today's date?" asks the underclassman girl sitting next to me in Physics class, as she tries to look at the formulas on my reference table. Didn't we all get one in the beginning of the year? As I take my phone out and click the home button, I realize there's exactly sixty-one days left until June 23rd. Soon enough, the girl in my Physics class will no longer ask me the date every time we have a test. Soon enough, I won't hear her whisper the answer to me when I get called on and don't know it. Soon enough, those sixty-one days will turn into sixty-one seconds and I'll be standing with my cap on as I wait for my name to be called. I respond and smile. I've really grown to love her.
