Yeah before I get y'all pumped up with my story, just know this is not a regular love story with happy ever after, Cause I don't believe happy-ness and ever after can be linked to the same sentence

While one is short-lived, the other means forever.
So join me as we fully unfold this adventure.

== It all started Three Years Ago ==

A bright light shone toward my window, it was I again forgetting to bring down the curtain and I had just off the alarm twice earlier cause I'd been up all night watching movies with my PC and earpiece.

I woke up late at 8 am, probably late for my today's agenda, I plan on going to take my bath, eat my breakfast and hop onto my bed again to continue watching movies and perhaps listen to music while I take another morning nap.

These are my usual daily routine after I was done with high school a few months back.

I plan on going to college but I haven't decided which to go to yet, I just wish I could take an online course cause I get bored going out and seeing people.

I've always been a bright student in school and getting admission into any college won't be a problem even though our household income was much higher than the average man living in LA.

I was born and grew up in Los Angeles, California, I always like it there even if I could not recall when last I had a great view of the city.

My dad always takes me and my siblings to Disneyland Park when I was young but now it doesn't seem of interest to me and my siblings are all grown up.

After I ate my breakfast, I discovered there is a loophole in my routine today, I had to clear the garbage and deliver some goods to my uncle who is living three blocks away.

My Uncle and my Dad were very close over the years as I have seen most of their hangout pictures together in his house and ours too.

My uncle has been my closest friend since high school after I have become paranoid and started living an antisocial life. He is one of the few people I talk to for hours probably because he is single and unmarried and we share the same interest in football, discoveries, science, and technology.

My uncle is a night job worker, he works as a cybersecurity officer in a company. We normally play chess for hours and discuss tech whenever I come to visit.

Not to bore you with my boring and lonely lifestyle.

It was Saturday evening and I just check my ACT test and luckily, NO I shouldn't say luckily cause I deserved it, I got 36, a perfect score. Now with this, I can apply to any college of my choice.

After much deliberation and persuasion from my Dad, uncle, and siblings, I decided to apply to the University of California, Berkeley and I eventually got accepted. I was happy when I saw the admission letter, I will be finally leaving home but little did I know I am not ready to unfold this part of my future yet.

But ready or not, it will unfold sooner or later.
