Y/N's POV:

I wipe the last tear drop that made its way from the corner of my eye. Watching it for the fifth time but still the ending of this series hit me hard, leaving me in a crying mess.

Startling me, the alarm clock goes off showing 6am. I binged all night again. Yeah that's fine, what's sleep anyway. But here's comes the hardest part, college time! While I get ready for my hell, let's talk about myself for a bit.

I was never a person to socialize. Gossips, conference calls, group hangouts, backbitching, making nuisance in public places, interrupting everyone's peaceful lives isn't my thing. A loner, is what I'm supposed to be. On the contrary I made- no no, I got adopted by two mischievous nutcases. We'll get back to them soon.

People always call me a silent and a soft person, but my mind is always a terrible noisy mess. I make atleast 10 sentences in my mind before I start a conversation but I end up saying just "hi". Boy am I silent.

But honestly, I like peace. Loud noises aren't my thing. That's exactly why library is my go to place in college. Empty parks, moonlight walks, staring off into sky like a lost soul, wow! Can't wait.

But this... 'syndrome...?' dates back to my childhood. My parents' all time activity is fight. They blame each other, argue, drink, cry, argue more, vomit, and also have few hangover roars.
Exactly why I had mixed feelings during their divorce.

The thought of leaving my dad and never seeing him again scared me. He's the man I spent most of my childhood with. No he didn't teach me how to ride a bicycle, but always put a bandaid on my wounds. Always took my side, been here for every hardship. He really made me feel like life's simple and overrated and loosing up a bit doesn't hurt. Life was good, until it wasn't.

Walking through the noisy hallway, I reach my locker and find another letter stuck underneath.

"Ooo~~ another letter again. Mr. Romeo's really into you huh"

She's Suzune, aka Suzy. Tall and slim with thick long dark hair. On addition, she's got the best fashion sense. She's the first friend I made in college. Still regret it.

"He's just holding onto a wrong Juliet" I sigh as I fold it before throwing it into my locker.

"And I'm holding onto a wrong friend. Did you read yesterday's group texts?" She says placing her hands on her hips. Her slim tall stature could intimidate anyone. "You don't even care to open them. There's atleast 300 messages in there!!"

"312 it is. Exactly why I didn't open. Who would read them all" I shut the locker and look into her eyes. "Besides, I have better things to do"

"Better things? Your face says you didn't get any sleep last night. Others might think it's the nerd in you studying all night, but I like to think it's sex but as usual disappointingly you just binged all night." She shrugs as she leans over the lockers.

"Your lie in april. I cried harder than last time" i say putting my hand over my heart. That's exactly when I hear a loud thud from my back.

I turn over its direction to see my second girl, hinata, aka scary hina, shoving her ex to the wall. "Try me, jackass"
It was loud enough for the whole floor to hear it. But this, coming from 4feet 8inches tall petite woman with a high pitched voice, didn't make it any less scary. No wonder how she reserved a bathroom with just a stupid sticker.
