I should stop staring at this diary. The blank pages are starting to feel like they're mocking me. Two hours have passed, and I've got nothing but a giant, frustrating question mark in my mind.

The park is almost empty now, but there's a quiet beauty in that. I should wait until sunset before heading back, the colors are always so peaceful. But I know what's waiting for me when I return: pure chaos.

"Let's get going; it's getting cold," I mutter to myself, my breath visible in the crisp air.

I head back to the dorms. The fall term has just begun, and we're all fresh from our holidays, still clinging to the remnants of summer. As I reach the building, the sight before me is exactly what I dreaded, complete chaos. But something about this chaos feels off, more sinister than the usual mess. My stomach tightens. This can't be good.

"Oh shit, I don't want to lose my dorm," I think as I break into a run. Near the entrance, I spot my room mate, Kai, caught up in the middle of it all.

"Hey, Kai, what's happening, man? Why's there an uproar over here? Are we losing our dorms?" I blurt out, my voice laced with the anxiety that's been gnawing at me.

Kai turns to me, his face twisted in what looks like genuine pain. What the hell?

"Hey, what's wrong? You okay?" I ask, feeling my heart rate spike.

"No, I'm not. We're not. We'll never be. But by some twisted grace of God, I've got a dick, and that's apparently going to save me from the torment the college is about to dump on us."

Wait, what? My brain scrambles to make sense of that. His dick? Is this uproar because of some ridiculous frat prank? Or, shit, did someone kick him in the balls?
