In which a grad student is abducted by aliens the night before his finals.

"Why the fuck did I come here," you groaned, a beer bottle dangling from your hand.

"It's the night before finals! I can't keep letting Maggie drag me out like this."

Calling your roommate, Maggie, a party person would be a major understatement. She was constantly dragging you out to parties against your will, always saying things like,

"Come on, loosen up a little! You're so uptight!" or "Maybe some alcohol will help get rid of that stick up your ass!"

It made you feel like a goody-two-shoes, and you were constantly trying to prove her wrong, so when she told you she was going to a party the night before finals you decided this would be the perfect chance to show her how much fun you can be.

Clearly, you regretted it.

"I'm going to have a fucking hangover tomorrow! What was I thinking?" If you're being honest, you weren't thinking at all.

Holding your head, you stumbled down the road back to your house. You and Maggie lived off of campus, so the walk was long but you forgot your wallet and didn't trust yourself to drive all the way back.

Suddenly, you see a blinding light, which helps to sober you up.

"I would think that was God but there's no way I'm going to heaven," you muttered under your breath before passing out.

You slowly blink your eyes open, finally regaining consciousness. You try to get up too quickly and your head starts pounding.

"Agh!"

"Woah, woah, slow it down there, buddy!" You hear a (kinda) deep voice say softly. In the background, you can faintly hear Blue Suede's 'Hooked on a Feeling' playing.

"Where am I? What the fuck was that light?" You mumble, "wait, were those headlights? Was I fucking hit by a car?"

"Um, not exactly."

You turn your head to the voice, seeing a nervous-looking, yet still very attractive, man and a literal raccoon.

"Hello? Kid? You in there?"

This time the voice was higher and scratchier and, you guessed it, coming from the raccoon.

You blacked out again.

•••

A few hours  and a cup of hot chocolate later, the man- or, sorry, Peter Quill, had explained pretty much everything. At first you didn't believe it, until you looks out the window and remembered you just met a sassy raccoon that could talk.

"You took me to fucking space?!" you yelled, pulse rising.

"Oh god, oh fuck, oh-"

"Hey! Man!" Peter started to approach you again slowly, awkwardly patting your back in an attempt to calm you down.

"Look, we found you passed out on the side of the road and just kind of panicked! The first thing I could think of was to bring you back with us."

If it was anyone else, you're sure that you would be totally creeped out right now, but his ernest eyes let you know that he was telling the truth. You started to relax.

"Wait- SHIT I HAVE MY FUCKING EXAMS TODAY I NEED TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW! OH MY GOD I CANT MISS THIS, JESUS FUCK!"

You're heart rate immediately shot back up, and not just because of the fact that you could see Peter's well-defined biceps peeking out from the sleeves of his t-shirt.

"Wait, why the hell would you actually want to go to your exams?" asked Peter, suddenly very confused, "I remember taking tests back on Earth, they fucking sucked, man."

"I am Groot," said the weird plant-looking thing who's name was apparently Groot.

"Shut up, Groot, you're one to talk about 'language'," shot back Peter, "I've heard you playing those goddamn video games you love so much."

Groot huffed and went back to his gaming console or whatever the hell that thing was.

"I aM gRooT," he mimicked under his breath.

"What did you just say?" yelled Rocket, running off to go scold the tree-like teenager.

"Sorry about that..." said Peter, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"It's cool," you said, taking deep breaths. "But, um, what about my exams?"

Peter tensed up a bit, eyebrows furrowed in concern, "Um, yeah, about that... you were kind of out for two days that first time."

"I was what?" You blinked twice in confusion, before a wave of dread came over you.

"Oh no, oh no no no no no."

You held your head in your hands for a bit, shaking it violently before attempting to regain your composure.

"Well, I guess I'll be her for a bit, then."

Hey! Hope you're enjoying the book so far! I'll update it as soon as possible (I don't have a schedule, haha 😬) but in the meantime it would be really cool of you could check out another book I'm working on rn. It's called 3675 East Halgrove Lane and it's actually a murder mystery story :) Anyways, see y'all later!
