Ashlinn packed the last boxes from her truck and walked into her new apartment. It was a huge loft with a extra room which she was gonna use as her studio. She dropped the box and smiled at her friends from college that had helped. ''Thanks guys'' she said. ''Oh its okay Ash'' Lesley, a 22 year old girl said. ''Let's unpack!'' Ashlinn then said and started on the first box.
A day or two later, Ashlinn sat on her bed with the last box. It was her High School box and she now was looking at old pictures, she had changed pretty much since she now had dreads and on high school still had her straight blond hair. She looked at a graduating photo of herself with Mia, Austin and Derek. They had been so close but in the last few years never seen each other. She grabbed her laptop that stood next to her and started to see if she still had their e-mails. When she saw she had, she smiled. Of course they probably had been changing their mails already but with the slight change that they still owned their old emails, she opened a new email and selected the three addresses. Then she thought of something to write and typed down:
Been a long time guys! I just moved and found some old pictures from us in high school.. I now live in Queens, New York.. Do you guys still live in the big city too? Mail me back or better idea! How about grabbing a coffee at that little coffee house we've always went too after school? I'll be there in thirty minutes, hope to see you guys there!
Hugs and Kiss,
Ashlinn
She checked her mail once more before hitting the send button and smiled. It was a bolt move, of course they probably had their jobs or maybe she didn't even had the right address.. But with some luck, she hit the send button and then started to make herself ready too grab a coffee.

Mia was doing some sketching of the street down her and listening to some music as she sat on the windowsill of her small apartment. She then heard a ping on her phone and checked it, she saw a new email from Ashlinn von Strong. She frowned and opened the email, she read it and smiled. Typically something for Ashlinn to think of! Moving, finding a old picture and then wanting to catch up with some coffee.. She liked the idea and wrote back:
You got me in! See you at the Tiny Coffee Bean in twenty-nine minutes!
She hit send and then got up, putting her sketching book in her bag, together with her pencils. She never left without them. Then put on her sneakers, grabbed her jacket and walked out with her bag over her shoulder and her phone in her hand.
