Where youthful dreams collided on campus grounds,
Four lives entwined in the web of friendship's embrace.
Mae, Eldest, a beacon of grace,
A young nurse with thoughts added weight far in excess of her years,
Her presence a steady hand that guides through the chaos,.
Mae: "We'll get through this semester, one day at a time. Just breathe."
Close by, Love, the youngest, untamed in spirit,
The wildest soul of the three in playfulness, light as morning dews.
Laughing, with a melody in her voice, her whims a dancing glee,
Unrestrained by any weight of care, blithesome as days can be.
In unity, the three-in-one, bound by time and selfsame dreams.
Love: "Great! Another all-nighter cram session. Who wants some snacks?"
Jay, aspiring teacher from miles and miles away,
Courses through the classes, concepts on wistful breeze.
He is a traveler from a world so alien, standing there, a silent spectator,
Looking, learning, reining in his own heart's thresh.
His future's a whiteboard with chalk and care, waiting to be written.
But it is Grace, the stormy one,
The most irrational of them all, sinking in alcohol addiction to handle her bitter ways,
That drags him into an orbit he never expected.
Unpredictability-a whirlwind he can ill evade -
In her chaos, he finds himself ensnared.
Grace: Oh, come on! Live a little! Why stick to the rules when we can make our own?
Between shared laughter and conversations into the night,
He can't help but be attracted to her wild, untamed spirit.
Her presence-the puzzle he can't put together-
A spark that ignites a flame he never foresaw.
Though she defies his expectations, his heart is ensnared.
Jay: (whispering to himself)" Why does she have to be so. freaking fascinating? I never thought I'd feel like this."
