indifferent // malum

* / prologue.

new year, new me.

loads of people may think of it as some shitty calling for reinventing themselves just because the year ended, but it's all bull to me. they're bound to gain back that thirty pounds, they're bound to crawl back to their dick of a boyfriend, and they're bound to fall back to their old tracks. it's like—an addiction. there's honestly no point in persistent change. call me a pessimist, but i'd like to think of myself as more of a... realist.

so maybe moving all the way to california from sydney because my dad found a better job counts as a new beginning. suddenly transferring into the new semester sounds rough, but hey, i live life on the edge. i'm michael fucking clifford for crying out loud.

but moving into a dorm with some stranger? that's the problem.

shuffling into the new space followed by a loud grunt from accidentally stubbing my foot with the wheel of the suitcase, it's safe to say that i finally have all of my belongings in the room. one side was already settled into from the looks of it—the wooden desk piled on with random notebooks and textbooks, bed neatly made. there was even a penguin stuffed animal settled beneath the blanket.

looks like my roommate's a fucking weirdo. yay.

it was a good thing he wasn't there though. taking my freedom to an advantage, i threw my bag on my side of the bed and took a deep sigh. this stuff is pretty stressful. i couldn't care less about fitting into the crowd, or whatever. all i can ask for is to fly under the radar, find someone who plays league of legends, and achieve that 2.7 gpa. c's get degrees, right?

running a hand through my newly dyed red hair, i took a good glance at all of the things that needed to be unpacked around me. thinking it'd be easier to go little by little, i began to zip open one of my large suitcases  to unload miscellaneous items such my precious collection my chemical romance cd's. it shouldn't be hard to get through a few months. summer's literally just around the corner. plus, i've seen how american colleges are like in movies. piece of cake.
