Romeo
I got up and noticed Sage wasn't next to me. She must have met the girls at the bakery. I'll join her.
After showering and dressing, I headed out. I strolled towards the bakery, swung my keys around my finger, and whistled a happy tune. As I walked, I noticed people stop, look at me, and whisper. I shook my head and kept on my path.
The bell chimed to the bakery. People stopped and stared at me as I entered. Okay, people are acting weird. I'll chalk it up to the insanity of college life.
I glanced around and didn't see Sage in the bakery. But I spotted Liam behind the counter. I strolled towards it, and he glanced at me. "Have you seen Sage?"
"Sage mentioned heading to the library to check out a book."
I blew air past my lips.
"Romeo, did you check your email?"
"No, I just woke up. Why?"
"You need to check it."
"I'll check it later. Give me a coffee."
Liam nodded and grabbed me a coffee. I waited at the counter until something hit me in the back. I turned to see two girls standing behind me with their arms crossed and scowling at me. "Can I help you?"
"You're an asshole," one girl said.
"Excuse me?"
"Don't play dumb." Another girl rolled her eyes.
I glanced between the two girls and shook my head. It must be a full moon tonight because the crazies have come out. I turned back to the counter, paid Liam, and grabbed my coffee. When I turned back around, a girl threw her drink in my face as another girl slapped me across the face. What the hell?
"You're a fraud," a girl spat.
I wiped the coffee from my face. "What?"
"You're a joke! If you pay me, I'll take you on a date!" Another girl said.
My mouth opened as people rose from their seats and crossed their arms.
"Hey, Cupid! Did you need a diaper change?" A guy asked.
People started laughing and pointing at me. I walked away, tossed my cup, and headed home. On my way, students spewed names at me and laughed. Once I reached the house, I ran upstairs to my bedroom and slammed the door shut.
I pulled out my phone, checked my email, and opened the attachment. I started reading. My brows furrowed as I sat down on my bed. The entire article was about dating sites being a fraud. The person wrote a scathing report on my site and me. After reading my email, I tossed my phone onto my bed and sat there.
Someone pounded on my door. "Romeo!"
I didn't answer but sat on my bed.
"Romeo! Open up!"
I lowered my head and stared at the floor as my tears fell.
"Romeo?"

SageAfter finding the book I needed, I headed to the front and checked out. I came out of the library as the girls ran towards me. They stopped to catch their breaths.
"Isn't it a little early to run a marathon?" I asked.
"Did you check your email?" Rowan asked.
"Not yet. I needed to get a book for class. Why?"
"Check it," Reese said.
I grabbed my phone, checked my email, and found an email from the school. I opened and started reading as my eyes popped. What the hell? My head lifted.
