your rolled over in your bed, 3DS in hand and scowling at the message in front of you. for the past few weeks, since the start of the semester, you kept street passing someone on campus and you two had started to talk via the tiny messages and the number displayed back at you made your brows furrow. you sighed, laying flat on your back and staring at the ceiling, your dorm mate should be here soon, and if she saw you slaving over you gaming device, the knowing smirk would be back and she would no doubt tease you about being 'in love with the gamer boy'. you did know it was a boy, his screen name applepi, great contrast to your own, nekomata, because you had always loved cats and when you graduated, you missed your old high school.

as if on cue, your roommate pushed herself into the room, throwing her stuff on her bed and you grabbed you DS and rolled over, punching applepi's friend code into your friends list, and you bit you lip. less then a minute later, it was accepted and you opened the last game you had played and revived a notification for, animal crossing. your roommate was getting ready for a night out with her boyfriend, and you had a too grand smile on your face because apple's town was so cute and there were a bunch of red roses and big peach trees and you sent him a smiley emoji as you planted an apple tree.

your heart shot into your throat when their message came through.

you got dragged to the party, you honestly didn't want to go but your friend needed a designated driver and you had your bag on your shoulder and your face buried in your DS, the music too loud and your friend left with a grand smile, aware of how you were. you stayed curled up on the couch for awhile, before the boy beside you tried to start conversation and you curled tighter to yourself, headphones on and he scoffed and stood, muttering 'tease' under his breath.

more than a few people stared, you weren't social and this much was obvious, you were at a party and the air smelt of drugs and alcohol and the music was too loud but your eyes were focused on your gaming device. you stood after awhile, thirsty and heading into the kitchen. the first semester was over now, for most people, only a few days left but your last final had been the day before. you poured yourself a glass of juice, a red cup to make it seem like you were actually drinking but the apple juice could have easily been mistaken for a beer and you slid out the back door without anyone noticing. the backyard was nice enough, a pool and some grass, lawn chairs and the light was off and you could hear the muted sounds of the party.

you curled into yours leg, heart shooting into your chest because applepi was coming to your town and a smile fell on your lips when you saw his avatar.

applepi: how are you neko-san?
you smiled, pulling out your stylus and relaxing into the chair. nekomata: I got dragged to a party.
it was silent for some time, the boy running in circles around your town tree and your brows furrowed. applepi: same
applepi: my best friend is having a party and I'm locked in his room
you waited for a minute, thinking it over and sighing. nekomata: I'm outside, it's too loud and there's too many people inside.

the porch door slammed open, and you jumped, dropping your DS into your lap, and your best friend was seen, her smile lazy and grand, and around her shoulders was another boys arm. you knew this boy because it was her boyfriend, you didn't like him very much, it wasn't that he was bad but he was as observant as you and liked to press your buttons because you didn't get riled up too easily. "yo, (f/n)-san!" he said, rushing over and he looked to the drink on the table beside you. "ooh, are you actually having a drink?" he bent down, picking it up and taking a big drink and your lips were pulled into a deep frown as you turned back to your game.
"it's Apple juice."
