Part| One.

• (The Writer Point of View) •

It was a normal spring day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh and delicious. It was normal everywhere else except at P. Corner University in Brooklyn where a silent storm was brewing.

The climactic scene happened in the place named.

Joe Café.

The guys known as the triplet pushed back three chairs and simultaneously sat hugging the table, face down.

"I lost my hair". Josh whined.

"I lost my car". Grayson followed.

"I lost my sleep". Keith completed.

The two blood-siblings looked at him puzzled, seconds later the puzzled stares turned into victorious grins since it seemed like their effort to rub on him their bad luck wasn't gone to waste.

"What happened?". Josh inquired the smile obvious in his voice.

Keith hugged the table more closely which caused his words to be muffled.

-My mum keeps bugging and refuses to let me sleep in! Since yesterday she never stopped talking about how that breaks my girlfriend heart-

Lifting up his head suddenly, Keith asked feeling genuinely confused.

- Say, did I ever happen to confess my feelings to a girl in my sleep and we ended up as couple behind my back?!-.

(What? ) Josh and Grayson piped together feeling amused.

-Do I have a girlfriend?!- He repeated again, dead serious.

Grayson moved his hand in a circle manner conveying to Josh that he must have lost his mind due to the lack of sleep.

Josh nodded agreeing then answered Keith his lips quirking. "No! At least not a one that I know about!".

Humming, Keith slammed his head back on the table cold surface.

- This is weird, but it doesn't matter – he said waving off and breathing luxuriously.

Again lifting up his head suddenly, Keith asked. "Hey have you received a warning notice form the faculty that ban you from ditching anymore lectures?!!".

"What? A notice?!". Josh asked with baffled expressions.

Causing Keith to sigh shuffling his hand inside his left pocket, fishing for something, grabbing the paper he handed it to them.

Grayson took it then lifted up his non-existent glasses reading out loud the last part of it.

'And therefore we demand from you to attend the required number of hours or else you will end up being banned from attending the final exams'.

"Oh shit man!! What is this!".

Banging his head down the table, Keith murmured.

-My living nightmare!-.

Josh and Grayson patted Keith in the back congratulating him on joining their club.

*My dad still refuses to return Porchy!* Grayson whined, mimicking Keith and landing his head on the table cursing his luck.

Josh sighed spilling melancholy everywhere before admitting.

"I went for 7 different hairdresser and all of them refused to dye my hair back they told me to wait one more week!!!".
