Chapter 2

"I can't believe you're actually doing it," Tamera says, eating a spoonful of crunchy cereals.

I roll my eyes at the Chinese girl as I eat my pancakes. The only person missing in the kitchen is Liam. "It's the perfect story for my assignment, and who knows, I might write my first nonfiction novel out of it."

"You know nonfiction can also be informational. It doesn't have to be about your life."

I nod. "I know but then I have to do intense research and it's so boring."

Tam raises an eyebrow. "So you would rather pay a therapist?"

"It's not that expensive if you split the price in two," I say.

She scrunches her thin nose. "And with Kevin as the main character? Ew."

I gasp. "What's wrong with Kevin?!"

"He's a fuck boy, but you're too in love to see it."

I look down, poking at my breakfast. "He's not a fuck boy," I murmur.

Tamera laughs, flipping her dark straight hair behind her back. "Trust me, he is. Well, he's a nice fuck boy, to be precise."

I grin. "Kevin has a kind face, doesn't he?"

My flatmate groans. "You're a lost cause."

She swiftly changes the subject, and by the time we're both done eating and ready to head out to our lectures, a panicked Liam bursts into the kitchen.

"I fucked up," he says as he quickly opens the fridge and shoves a few of my yoghurts inside his bag.

His dark hair is a sleepy mess, and the inside-out black shirt tells me that he overslept as usual.

I usually scold him when he takes my stuff, but the wide-eyed look makes me feel sorry for him. We walk out of the flat together. Tamera and I quietly wave at Liam as he runs down the campus with the beige backpack loosely hanging on his shoulder.

Tamera is in the same department as Kevin, so I always use it as an excuse to walk her to class. The walk is peaceful as we make small talk. Tamera is the most creative person I know. Everything she does comes out great. She knows how to draw, she's a fantastic screenwriter, she's a master of make-up and has a unique fashion style.

Make-up and manhwas made us click, and I couldn't be happier.

When I wave her off and head to my department, my gaze lands on the beautiful mixed boy with calming green eyes.

Kevin sees me as well, and a grin stretches onto his lips. I wave at him from afar as he skips toward me. My heart leaps.

"Hey, you alright?" he greets, stopping in front of me.

I grin, nodding my head. "Have you heard from the therapist?"

"Absolutely, we have our first session today at three. Is that cool? Sorry I didn't tell you before, but I knew I would meet you here anyway."

I hum as I think about my lectures, and lucky me, I only have two classes for the day. "Yeah, three sounds good."

Kevin nods, murmuring 'cool' a couple of times as if wanting to add something else but not finding the words for it.

"Something wrong?" I can't help but ask.

He shakes his head, chuckling. "Oh, nothing I'm trying to remember— Oh, yeah, my flat is hosting a party tonight. You can come if you want to," he says, raising an eyebrow.
