i just realized i could sleep with my eyes open.
boring lectures?
exactly.
it must be hard living the uni life. and, here i am sitting, reading about the laws of thermodynamics.
did i do a wrong thing mistaking you for a nerd? you're the kind of guy who stays up all night and studies while responding to stranger's texts after all.
don't tease me, lea. i had a test the other day but harper insisted me on spending time with her. i had no choice.
so you spend time with her during the day and study all night? you're a devoted boyfriend.
i don't lie when i say i take my vows seriously.
okay, now you sound like a married man who's fighting with his wife who wants a divorce.
i just take my priorities very seriously.
who would've thought alec hawthorne was a hardcore romantic?
okay, enough about me. how was your day?
pretty hectic. i'm in a dire need of coffee and nutella.
your taste in food combinations concerns me, lea.
and i call myself an english major. let me rephrase it. i need coffee to relieve this headache and nutella to satisfy my inner chocolate-enthusiast.
a chocolate-enthusiast. hmm, i'll keep that mind.
would it make me inhuman if i told you that i hate coffee?
i'm pretty sure i just heard my heart break. seriously, how can someone hate coffee? it's one of the best things ever.
alec hawthorne IS full of surprises.
to be honest, it freaks me out when you use my name in third person.
i never really felt the need to drink coffee like most of you do. and besides, i find the smell quite intimidating.
you amaze me sometimes, alec.
does that make me amazing?
narcissism is unhealthy and fatal if crossed a boundary.
haha. i was pulling your nerves.
okay, so how is it you know so much about me and i know nothing about you?
there's nothing really to know.
humor me.
i study english at nyu, big deal. i have two best friends: carrie and leighton and i'm an only child. is that sufficient?
are you single?
i just sounded like one of those pervs on tinder. you know what i mean.
no, alec, because i'm the kind of girl who has a boyfriend and sends random texts to a stranger in the middle of the night.
color me impressed. i thought sarcasm was a foreign language to you.
judging me already?
to be honest, i'm the kind of person who's awkward when you meet me for the first time. so people assume that i'm a shy person and that i'm not one to mingle.
but those are the best kind :)
aren't you sweet.
now that i've given information about me, it's your turn.
what do you want to know?
about your family. are you the only child? anything.
that's a story for another day.
did i push the wrong button?
i don't want to be reminded of shitty things when i'm happy which is what i'm right now.
what's the occasion?
silly, i like talking to you.
did it hurt your ego to say that? haha, i like talking to you too.
it's just that things aren't really fine at home. it's the shitty problem that most of the families have. my parents want a divorce because they fell out of love. seriously, i cannot even begin to wonder how someone can fall out of love.
we can answer it by blaming it on time.
it's me who pushed the wrong button this time, isn't it?
it's not a button. it's not even a thing anymore.
i didn't know you had a boyfriend. but whoever he was, he must have been stupid for leaving someone like you.
how did we end up here? i remember talking about nutella and here we are having a heart to heart talk. this would probably be the moment where i say, "wow, that escalated quickly."
you're something, you know that?
you're something too.
this is a turning point in our friendship, don't you think?
and, you realize it only now.
