We all met in the main hall of our college. It was reasonably smaller than the other, for the obvious reason that there was less than half of the population.

After a long, drawn out lecture, we all met up in the food hall to buy lunch.

We purchased some things from the snack machines and sat at a circular table inside the hall.

"I don't want to be here for another two years," Jide complained, and we all imitated him.

"It'll be better once it's over," I hummed positively, but he looked as if he wanted to die.

I then turned to look at Simon, who was reading through the introduction leaflet they handed out at the end of the lecture.

"You alright?" I asked him, taking a sip from my doctor pepper bottle.

He looked up at me, eyes wide and his cheeks a little pink. He was so pretty.

I felt my heart racing just at the sight of him.

"I'm fine," he nodded; "They have a swimming team.. It sounds kind of fun."

"Hmm," I crooked my brow as my lips raised in interest. "You thinking about signing up, then?"

"Yeah, I-I think so," his lips curved into a hushed simper, he was the sweetest.

"Wanna know how I see it?" Harry suddenly asked the group, and we all looked at him.

"How?" Vik asked, being the only one who actually cared.

"It's like a race. Like an apocalypse. Survival of the fittest, you know; all the cliques against one another," The blonde blurted out.

"Are you fucking high?" Jide asked, and we all snickered. All besides Harry.

"Noooo," Harry protested before climbing up to stand on the table.

"Harry, mate—" I went to try and get him down, but he was already off on one.

"It's like all the American shows, you know? Where you walk down the halls past the lockers. You see the jocks, the preps, the nerds, the rebels.. Teachers," he mumbled, looking off into the distance as if he were glancing at heaven itself. "And we are the outcasts, challenging them all!"

People were beginning to stare.

"Harry, stop," Tobi huffed, pulling him back down gently before patting his back. "It's just college, just a casual thing, man.."

"Just college?!?! More like the survival games," He exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes. This boy..

I only had two lessons after that, since it was the first day and all. I had business and then math.

Business flew by as we just covered the curriculum and the future tests and what not. I also made a few new friends, it was pretty sweet.

I ended up doodling hearts in maths as I was so exhausted from the previous night, Simon was wriggling more than ever in his sleep. He kept kicking my back and waking me.

He's a literal pain in my arse, but it's that kind of pain that reminds you that you're alive.. He seems to have that effect on people.
