She was a ray of sunshine, an over achiever, a bookworm, way too gullible and selfless.
But that's only the side she wants people to see.
He was the polar opposite. Grumpy 24/7, introverted, tough on the outside. He also happened to be the captain o...

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I reluctantly rolled over to my bedside table to turn it off. I then stretch and make my way to the bathroom to freshen up. " Cuz karma is my boyfriend, karma is a god, karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend, karma is a relaxing thought," I sing along to one of my favorite get up songs. What can I say? Taylor wakes me up. I then go pick my outfit from my wardrobe. I don't use make-up. Yes, I am that kind of person. I'm not saying I don't use it at all. Just not on a daily basis. I mean, personally I'd prefer sleeping in than waking up earlier just to put make-up on, you know? Anyways, I finally settled on a baggy pair of mom-jeans and an oversized hoodie. I quickly make my way to the kitchen and try not to dwell on my appearance too much.

As I am walking down the stairs, I run into Emma.
"Hey Shay!" She greets me as we walk down together.
"Good morning Em!" I greet her with equivalent enthusiasm. "Where's Sof?" I ask her as I take a seat at our island countertop's bar stool.
"Knowing her, she's most definitely still asleep," she chuckles in reply.
"You're probably right, also I love your outfit," I compliment her, just taking notice of her dark green track pants and white long sleeved crop top.

Her tall frame along with her fit body, she looks good in every outfit, although, it does make me peer down to my outfit. Baggy clothes are usually my go-to outfit.
"Awe, I like yours too hun. Very comfy. Also, you can always borrow this if you want," she smiles, as she gathers the ingredients to make breakfast.
'You'd never fit into it, you probably will end up tearing it'
I push my inner thoughts away and just smile at her.
"You want some?" Emma asks me as she turns on the stove.
"Uh, nah, I'm not really hungry. I'll just go wake sophie" I reply as I get off the stool.
"Shay-" she tries to tell me something but I'm already walking up the stairs and towards Sophie's room.
I knock on the door, after hearing no response I open it. "SOPHIE CAMILLE JONES, WAKE UP" I yell, causing her to get up promptly.
"Fucking hell girl, calm down, I'm up, I'm up" she replies, rubbing her eyes tiredly as she makes her way to her bathroom.
I then go back to my room to get my bag. I then go back down to the living room to sit on the couch, waiting for the girls to be ready. Sophie comes down after a while with her bag and proceeds to gobble down the breakfast Emma made for her. "Em, I know I say this everyday, but damn do you cook well," Sophie says as she washes her plate.
"Awe, thanks Sof," she replies. "Guys, we better get going, unless you guys are okay with being late on our first day," Emma informs us, upon glancing at her watch.
"Well, I don't mind, but Shayna looks like she's about to murder me, so let's go," Sophie says, as I give her a side glance, as she puts on her white airforces, which compliment her outfit well.

"Of course, why would you want to be late? It's literally the first day," I say as we hop into the car.
"Well, you could get your own license, you know Shay," Emma suggests.
"Hey, you guys know why I don't want to get it," I huff.
"I hardly think being afraid to drive on your own counts as a reason hun," Emma says.
"Well, there's a lot to be afraid of okay?" I reason.
"Chill girl, we're only joking. Besides, what's the fun in going alone when we can go together," Sophie says as Emma pulls into the school's parking lot.
"And that's on being bestfriends since we were 13" Emma says, as we get out of the car.
See, the girls and I have been best friends since the last year of middle school till now. We also collectively decided to apply to all the same schools and miraculously all got accepted into yale. We then bought a house about 10 minutes away from campus and decided to live together. Despite us having different personalities and doing different majors, we get along just fine and I think we compliment each other's personalities well. I love them to death and truly am unbelievably grateful for them.
"Shay, you coming?" Sophie asks, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yup," I say as I get out of the car and walk alongside my bestfriends to the courtyard.
OMGG! First Chapter is out! It's not really very long so I am sorry about that. I hope you guys enjoyed it though. I really love writing in Shayna's pov. Hehe. Anyways, I'm trying to give visuals for each chapter so, let me know what you guys think about that. I'm currently working on Chapter 2 and since I'm on holiday right now, I'll try updating frequently. Also, I'm trying to make a visual representation of their apartment complex so hopefully it'll be out in the next chapter, but do keep in mind that drawing and designing are not my strong suits so yes.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could vote and comment on how the chapter is. Thank you guys so much for giving my book a chance. Hope you have an amazing day/night ahead :) Stay safe <3 -♡ S. C.
