it's the first day of university.

the first day of the rest of our lives, you could say.

my first alarm goes off at exactly 6:30, but i refuse to get out of bed. after twenty long minutes of refusing to get out of bed, and four more alarms, i decide it's probably time to start getting ready.

i left my bed and stepped out of my room, into the kitchen part of the dorm. as soon as i open the door i'm hit with the sweet smell of my favorite meal and my favorite person.

i don't think i'll ever get over the fact that jeno and i are roommates, even though we slept over at each others houses practically everyday last year.

jeno is cooking eggs and bacon for breakfast. he knows that's my favorite food.

"hey nana, i'm making your favorite!" jeno smiled.

"i know jeno. i can smell it from my room."

"so," jeno said as he set a big plate of food down in front of me "are you ready for our first official day of classes?" we've been living in our dorm for around a week now but our classes only started today.

"definitely not."

"why not? we have every class together."

"that's not entirely true. we're not in the same psych class." psych is going to be the worst class, i can tell already.

"oh yeah, i forgot. it's a good thing psych doesn't start until thursday, so you're stuck with me for three full days!"

"jeno i'm stuck with you for the rest of my life and we all know it." i said pretending to cry afterwards.

"nana, don't be sad (a/n: why you mad? why you sad? when you can be glad) i'm sure you won't be stuck with me forever."

when he said that, i felt my heart break a little.

you might be asking, why on earth would that break my heart? well for those who don't know, which is maybe like two people, i'm very much in love with a certain person who may or may not be named lee jeno. ok, i'm totally in love with lee jeno. but he'll never love me back. every time someone tells him that they love him, or even like him, he just laughs at them. i asked him why once and he just shrugged and then walked away.

once i finished my breakfast, i went back to my room to finish getting ready. when i left my room, jeno was already waiting for me by the door.
