"Paradise University? What's that?" your girl best friend, Pieck looked at you like you were insane.

"Paradis University, and it's in Paradis. It's kind of in the name bozo." you flicked her forehead and she rubbed the spot.

"Why don't you stay in Marley?" she frowned.

"I can't live in the country forever Pieck, besides it's a really good school." you smiled at her, and she rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, the main reason you got in was because your hot ass Uncle is a professor there." she grumbled.

"And what about it?" the two of you both laughed as you turned your back to her to finish packing up.

"I'm gonna miss you." suddenly, her arms wrapped around you causing you to gasp. You two were the kind of best friends who would fake gag if you were forced to high five each-other. You rarely had physical contact.

But, this was different.

Considering the position you two were in, you couldn't necessarily hug her back so you just put your hands on her arms, rubbing them.

"I'm gonna miss you too.." You found yourself getting teary eyed, mentally cringing at that. You and Pieck have been close since you were kids even though she was a bit older. You two did everything together alongside your boy best friend Porco. This would be your first time apart from them since well.. Forever.

You took a deep shakey breath before pulling the girls pale arms off you and grabbing the suitcase handle, then turning to face her again. You took one final look of your childhood room, the nostalgia hitting you like a train. Up until now, getting into Paradis University felt like a dream. Now, it's really set in..

"N/N, YOUR UNCLE'S HERE!" your mother yelled at you from downstairs, interrupting your thoughts.

You and your Uncle Levi used to be really close, but it was hard seeing him often since he lived all the way out in Paradis. But now, You'd be able to see him all the time. Hell, you'd even be living with him since you don't "feel like paying to live in a dorm."

When the harsh truth is, your just poor and very very cheap. But hey, people don't gotta know that right..?

"Wait.. Y/N?" as you head to leave your room, you looked at Pieck. She put a flask in your hand, which you already know was full of some sort of expensive whiskey. Your eyes lit up at the sight as you put it in your pocket.

"Take it as a parting gift.." she winked.

You and Pieck walked downstairs to the kitchen to see your mom, Uncle Levi, and Porco standing there.

"Hey brat. Your taller than me now." Uncle Levi rolled his eyes.

"Nah, you just shrunk!" you chuckled and he pulled you into a VERY light hug. His hug's were always pretty short so before he could pull away you made sure to use your new height advantage and noogie him on the head. He gave you one of his overused tch's and a glare as he tried to fix his hair.

"I can't believe your leaving me Y/N.." Porco wiped away a fake tear being completely sarcastic.

"Don't worry," you leaned close to his ear.

"I left my stash in my sock drawer. Your welcome." you whispered and his facial expression brightened. You winked at him as you pulled away.

"Is Andrew coming..?" You looked at him and he just frowned. You scoffed, completely not surprised.

Of course he isn't.

Andrew is your boyfriend of about 6 months. The first few months of your relationship were fantastic, but as the months went by it got pretty toxic. Andrew freaks out on you a lot over small stuff but, you don't take it. You like to retaliate(#girlboss) and that makes the fights even worse. They usually either end in rough makeup sex or you two breaking up and getting back together a week or so later. There's barely any healthy left in your relationship anymore, you're always either fighting or fucking. Deep down, you like to hope the old Andrew will come back, you two could have a good relationship again. At the end of the day, you love him. You wouldn't be faint-hearted and put up with his shit, but you feel like you HAVE to stay. Like your obligated. You just keep telling yourself he is going through some stupid phase right now that he'll get over. You don't like having to be a bitch to him, and even worse when he lays his hands on you..
