Y/N’s POV

    I open my eyes and look around my dorm room and noticed that josh wasn’t here then I climbed down the deck to the floor but to my surprise and terror what I stepped on the floor it was liquid and I instantly sunk in. My first instinct was to try to swim back up obviously and I succeeded but when I reached the surface I noticed 2 things that terrorized first thing being the liquid I was swimming in was not water but blood and the 2nd and what terrified me the most was that it was coming from the 3 bodies hanging on from the ceiling all looking at me. I was scared because I knew all of them they were my family….my dead family. Then all of them screamed in unison “IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT” and then I screamed as loud as I can out of terror

Joshua’s POV

    I was woken up by the ruffles from Y/N’s deck. I checked the time and it was barely 7:00 then I said annoyed “Dude stop moving I’m trying to sleep here.” I tried to continue sleeping but he continued to do that for some minutes then to my surprise he full out screamed. I was worried because I remembered last night he told me that he has night terrors. I got up my bed and climbed up the latter to his beck to see a Y/N who was curled into a small ball hugging himself and softly sobbing. I tried to approach him but he backed off, his eyes full of terror.
    Just as I was going to say something our door was knocked on hard. I sighed and climbed down to open it. When I opened it I saw one of our counselors and 2 guards standing there. I motioned for them to come in. They did so then the counselor looked up to Y/N’s deck like she knew what happened more than I did. A counselor and 2 guards are not always the first response team when a student screams in the morning, I don’t even think there is a response team.
    She looked at me and said “So I assume he had a nightmare. I don’t even have to ask you right its plain obvious.”. She climbed up the small latter and she talked to Y/N more like whispered to him. I can hear him sobbing and after a couple of minutes then they both came down and when she opened the door to get out. I can see that other students were already gathering around our dorm anxious and curious to see what the screaming was about. I can see Y/N putting his hood up so that they could see him or so that he couldn’t see them idk. They left and closed the door behind them. I sighed heavily and collapsed on my bed out of sleepiness. I can tell you this is one hell of a way to be woken up in the morning.

Time skip to Econ 101 class

Joshua’s POV

    I was bored out of my mind, I mean don’t get me wrong I love Econ and Prof. Gabriel is a good teacher but I since I was woken up early in the morning by me so not quite friend I was really tired and my attention was low as fuck. I subconsciously close my eyes and try to get some sleep unnoticed. It worked for a couple of minutes till I was rudely woken up when something that I later found out to be was a marker cap hit my head. I was annoyed and said out of instinct” Who the fuck did it!” and the teacher that I ignored replied with “I did Mr. Joshua.” I swallowed my saliva and before I can say anything he continued to speak “Now I can send to the dean for use of that language, kick you out the class for disturbing me but I won’t if you manage to do these questions and feel free to ask your friends.” I eased up I mean how hard could it be to do these questions and with the whole class at my disposal. But he said with a sly grin on his face “oh did I forget to mention the questions are for doctorate level students and if Mr. Joshua here fail them the whole class fails.” Oh I am fucked.
   
Y/N’s POV

    As soon as we opened the door is saw couple of students from neighboring dorms outside and they were all looking at me. I instinctively looked down and put my hood on. After a couple of minutes, we reached the counselor’s office I think. She opened the door and my suspicions were true. The room had an office setup with a couple of plants here and there and 4 chairs arranged in a circle near the wall. She looked at me and said “Make yourself comfortable I’ll come back in a minute”. I didn’t react to her and just sat on of the chairs and stared at the opposing chair while I started to feel numb again. I still had my head phone around my neck and I was entertaining the idea of listening to music for a while.
    In a minute of she came back and sat one the opposing chair. She was holding a file which I’d assume they’re the files from my therapists back home. A psychiatric profile of me per say. She started reading it for herself while stealing a glance at me once in a while. She closed the profile and put it on the table between us and said “You have come a long way for your past I want you to know that to coming this far after all the trauma you went through your family would be proud.” I flinched and said angrily “You think I did all this for them?! You think I chose to be like this and go this far so that they can be proud?!” she looked at me and replied
    “So why are you doing it? Why are you constantly persisting to be better than everyone? Form your files I saw that why your therapists asked you why you live you said to be rich. So you think being rich can solve your trauma?” I calmed down and said coldly “Yes it will. I have a question for you why do you think I did what I did?” “Honestly I don’t know why you did it or how you are still mentally sane after that.” I smiled at her a smile of victory and replied simply by “It’s called survival instinct. I did it because I want to live. Yes, I have night terrors. Yes, I tried to kill myself a lot of times. Yes, I am fucked up and I lived a fucked up childhood and all this isn’t but I am superior my mind is superior and I will be the richest person on the planet on day believe me.” 
    She looked at me like she was seeing the devil himself sitting where I was sitting. “I just hope when you realize that money can’t solve your trauma that there will be a person there with you to help you” she said. “If you’re right I hope that too.” I said. We continued to talk about many things for the next hour and a half. She even said I was an epitome of sheer will and me being me I shrugged it off. We talked about my alcoholism and cigarette addiction and the drugs and pills. I told her I stopped drinking which I didn’t. I told her I stopped doing drugs and pills which I didn’t. I had my reasons.
    After we finished she gave me a slip. I checked what time it was. It was already way past into 1st class I missed breakfast. I thought about skipping I since its already late but decided otherwise. I went to a vending machine and bought me some chips and started heading to class.  I checked my schedule and I had Econ 101 with Mr. Gabriel Ackermann. While I was going there he students around where all stealing glances at me and I can hear them gossiping “ohh look at him isn’t he the kid who screamed in the morning” they say. It’s either that I have an exceptional voice box or that this school gossips more that it lets on.
    I started walking fast and reached my class. I entered and everyone looks at me AGAIN. Damn what up with this school. A man who I judge to be in his mid-40’s looked at me and said with attitude “And who might you be.” I couldn’t bear to be an asshole at this point I was too bored so I just replied with “I’m Y/N L/N and I have a permission slip here” I tried to hand him the slip but he replied with “I don’t care child go to Joshua’s seat there and do the questions I handed him if you don’t finish them in the next 10 minutes you fail my class” I sighed and went to sit next to Josh and said “let me look at those.” And I look out my pen and did all of them in the time required to everyone’s surprise I guess years of studying ahead pays up now. I handed the teacher the paper and everyone cheered me on. I guess I wasn’t the only one who was going to fail here. Just after I handed him the paper the bell rung and I left.

Time skip to lunch time

No one’s POV

    “Dude you should’ve seen that mother fucker’s face when Y/NN handed him the paper. It was priceless” said an astonished Josh to Nate and Julian while they laughed. “Wait I took a picture let me show you” he took out his phone and showed them and they started laughing uncontrollably but to their surprise Y/N looked like he spaced out. Nate shook him a little and said “Dude what were you thinking about?” Y/N took a deep breath and asked them “Guys I’m thinking of dropping out of university and starting my own broking business.” “What if the business doesn’t succeed?” asked a curious Julian “Well trust me Julian its fated to succeed. The only thing I need is a loan and some business partners and I want you to be my business partners.”
