AS A COLLEGE student, she was constantly cramming, pulling all-nighters, and stressing. She was working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Music, while it wasn't the most difficult out there, she was struggling.

(Y/N) was in her second year of her four years of college. However, she could not seem to keep up with her studies. Though it was only a month into her second year, her grades weren't doing well, causing her parents to put a lot of pressure on her.

They both thought this education was nonsense and that she would be better off marrying a rich man, in an arranged marriage.

Obviously, she did not agree with this, but the stress was still there. If she flunked out of college, she could be forced into marriage. With all this buildup, she needed an out. A break.

Sighing and rubbing her temples, the girl mumbled a few curses towards her assignments, teachers, and whoever came up with the godforsaken idea of homework. (Y/N) slammed- gently closed her laptop, it was an expensive laptop, and turned on her phone, looking for the nearest bar.

Finding one that college students would most likely be at, she pulled herself off of her bed and made her way towards her closet.

Pausing when she opened it, she realized that most of her clothes consisted of spandex, sweatpants, and hoodies. She let out a defeated groan, but then remembered something.

Moving towards the back of her closet, she pushed away her daily clothes and found ones more suited to her style when she went out.

She pulled on her black shorts over her fish nets, her cropped black hoodie, with a white rose decal on the front, ending slightly above the waistband of the shorts.

After a quick glance in the mirror, knowing she looked great, she pulled on doc martins, and black socks that just barely peeked over the top of the boots.

Upon finding and entering the bar, she headed to the counter, and ordered a drink. While waiting for a drink, she briefly scanned her eyes around the establishment.

The room softly glowed in the dark purple led lights nicely placed around the establishment. They gave a cozy feel to the place.

Taking brief notice of some people whom she shared classes with, some noticed her and gave a small nod or wave, which she returned.

She then noticed a few taller guys standing around a table. There was a red head, one had olive hair, one had dark hair, and there was a spiky haired brunette as well.

But the one that caught her attention the most was the ashe blonde. He felt her gaze on him, causing him to look up towards her.

Her eyes slightly widened when they made eye contact, but she regained her composure quickly. Not looking away, his look was almost challenging her.

After about 10 seconds, he smirked, and excused himself from his table, walking up to her. Noticing his height as he walked closer to her, it would've intimidated her if she weren't already distracted by his looks.

"Are you here alone?"

A bit taken aback by his question, she looked away, before meeting his eyes again.

"Yeah, there's not exactly a point of bringing friends if I don't plan on going back with them."

His eyebrows raised in amusement at her response, not expecting her to hint that she planned on hooking up with someone. His lip twitched upwards to a small smile.

"And you? Did you come with friends?" she questioned, unsure if the other guys were simply people he knew or he if he was actually hanging out with them.

"I came alone, too. I just happened to bump into some friends."

"I see."
