ZAK POV (the first part before the tw stuff was edited, I wrote like a starting thing. I guess? 14/03/22)

A/N : 30/07/22 THIS STORY IS SHIT, I RECOMMEND CHECKING MY OTHER SKEPHALO STORIES BUT IF YOUR INTERESTED YOUR WELCOME TO READ, THIS BOOK TOOK A WHILE TO WRITE SINCE THIS WAS MY FIRST WATTPAD STORY

My decisions were final, I want to go to the 'Great Western College'. It was a risky action but i chose it.

"Are you sure you wanna go there Zak? The 2nd option sounds good to..." My father asks, "Father, I don't even wanna go to college." I groan

"Well you have to!! You need to have a good life my son." He tries to persuade me, "Alright alright, but I still want to go to the 1st one father." I tell him.

"DINNERS HERE!!" Me and my dad hear from the kitchen, I ran to the dining table while my dad just walked. "Pizza, again?" I sulked, "We are tight on money babes.." my mother says.

I nodded and took a bite of the THIN CRUST pepperoni pizza.

"Zak wants to go to the great western college..." My dad says, "Well that's wonderful sweetheart!" My mother replies while hugging me.

My dad smiled at me then proceeded our dinner.

I raced upstairs into my room, my minecraft just finished updating. I was desperate to finish my hotel I was building

I ran into my room filled with fresh air and locked my door, I sat down in my black and blue chair while loading up minecraft.

I had a plan of pulling an all nighter just so I can finish this build.

~~~~~

7 hours later...

It is now 2:26am and now my body feel like it's swelling, my eyes are all puffy and I looked like I just buried out a grave. My desk was filed with empty cans on energy drinks and empty chip packets.

I slouched my way to the bathroom, I turned on the light. Jeez it felt like I just entered heaven, staying in the dark to long made me forget that brightness existed.

I ran a towel under the cold water and began to place the towel on my face, it felt like a reward.

~~~~~

-*BEEP BEEP*-

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off, I raised my head off my keyboard. I must've fell asleep during playing minecraft, my diamond block avatar was still in game standing in middle of a village.

I saved the process and made my way downstairs

"Morning Zak!" I heard a voice said downstairs, it was my sister Sam! She is really nice to me and supports me no matter what, "morning." I said, my voice was still very deep from the sleep.

"Also didn't I have to remind you of the arcade meetup with your roommates? It's today." She called out, I thanked her and went back upstairs. I totally forgot about this meet up we had, if it wasn't for my sister I would never show up!

I opened the doors of my black closet and searched for a decent outfit, perfect! I thought to myself

I picked out a simple outfit, my favourite brown shirt and a pair of beige jeans.

I went downstairs and grabbed my keys, "BYE SAM, BYE MOM AND DAD!!" I yelled before slamming the door shut.

TW - MENTIONS OF tHRoW1NG uP AND SWEAR WORDS.

5TH FEBRUARY 2020
I have finally arrived at the destination.

"This is it, come on Zak you can do this!" I thought, I felt worried and had the urge to throw up. I sighed and walked into the arcade, 3 people catch my eyes. "This must be my roommates for college." I said under my breath while taking 2 deep breaths.

"Well hello, you must be Zak!" A boy with silky brown hair spoke. 2 other girls waved at me giving a smile, I felt so much stress entering into my body what happens if I fall? O-or I get into an accident, I can't be here.

I ran to the nearest restroom about to throw up. I rushed to a stall locking the door behind me, before I knew it I was throwing up into the toilet it took about 3 minutes until I was done. I wiped my mouth with some toilet paper and flushed the toilet, surprisingly the tall brown hair boy with emerald green eyes was waiting behind the door. "Are you feeling alright Zak...?" He whispered giving me a pat on the back "I'm fine." I answered while on the way out

I took a rest sitting down on a dark brown stool I caught the three of them whispering into each others ears. I could only hear the words "Zak" "Stall" and "Vomit", Were they talking shit about me? We haven't even started hanging out and I'm already acting like such a big baby, I could tell my anxiety was getting worst and worst. I started fidgeting with my hand, biting my nails and shaking my legs, I grabbed my headphones and my phone to listen to my playlist to calm myself down. After the 5th song they approach me, "How about we go play some games and take some photos Zak?" The girl with curly ginger hair asked me. "Sure!" I replied

We started throwing basketballs into hoops and dancing to dance dance revolution, I was smiling and laughing so was the other people. It was sad I didn't get to catch their names yet, i planned to ask them later on.

After a few hours we decided to take a break and grab a bite, I ordered us each a slice of pizza and our favourite sodas. I learnt that the girl with ginger curly hairs favourite soda was sprite, the tall brown hair boys favourite was coke and the girl with straightened black hairs favourite was Dr Pepper! I just got myself a Fanta and waited for our order

"So what are your guys names? Seems like you already know mine" I said chucking "Im Beth" the ginger spoke "Im Taylor" the black hair girl replied "And I'm Darryl!" the brown hair boy said, he seemed energetic and nice.

"Ages?" Darryl said 23, Taylor said 22 and Beth said 21. "Oh cool! I'm 22" I thought I sounded like a fool when everyone started staring at me, I felt uncomfortable and gave a fake smile. I looked behind me and it turned out it was just the food getting brought to our table! I giggled a bit and took a bite of my pizza.

After eating we all decided to go home and pack since we were moving on the 7th, we exchanged numbers then headed back home. I had faith and trust in them, I knew I only met Beth, Chloe and Darryl today but they were my only friends I had...
