Days went by scarily fast, with the vague smell of biter coffee going around the apartment. The cold took over the city. Rain visited us quite often. The multiple crowds of people were decreasing due to the cold weather. But you could still hear the cars, honking in a rushed manner.

Tho sitting at home, I was catching up with some of my friends that were studying abroad. Well if you want to call the fake excitment over a new year of university, or your "absolute" joy when you hear about a  couple's new engagement then yes, catching up. I spent the rest of the day listening to old vinyls, often borrowed from Mr Daniel, and helping Carrie choose her outfit for the first day of university. She always had her days, outfits planned, and somehow always ended up being late. Well as some say, or at least she says, "The best always arrives late". 

Today is thursday, the day Markian comes back.I was expecting his call, to inform us he arrived at the airport and was heading home.He has been living with us since the second semester of the first year. And thus I say that the Game Nights became more fun. He was coming back from his trip in Orlando,where he visited his family.I remember the time I went with him and Carrie for our holiday. There is also a funny story about our visit to them. His parents thought that we were togheter and let's just say that for a month, Carrie was always joking and laughing about it.

I was sitting on the sofa, scrolling through my phone, when I was handed a cup of tea. I glanced at the person in front of me, it was Carrie.

"Why thank you, dear." I thanked her as I put down my phone and took the tea. I sipped the hot liquid and enjoyed it's warmth that took over my body. 

She sat down on the sofa, near me.

"So..." she started but I interupted her.

"Do not even start." 

"Do you even know what was I talking about?"

"I know it's about him, about Loki." I stated. Ever since the day I told her, she would always find a way to talk about him.

"Damn,lady, you're good.But actually did you even find something about him." she said as she sipped her green tea.

On the day I saw Loki, I asked Mr. Daniel about him. He told me that he was a recent visitor, a loner. But he also said that he was a teacher or asisstant at a school. I was partly suprised about it, due to the fact that he seemed young.

"Besides his first name, his possible job and that he has no social media,no. He's practically a ghost." I told her.

"Well, I must sa-" she said but was interrupted by the doorbell.

"Saved by the bell."Carrie said as she headed to the door.

I rolled my eyes and glanced at my phone. 3:27 p.m. Markian's flight should have landed by now. Bored, I was looking out the window when I heard a familiar voice.

"Oooo, Eve." 

It was Markian. I went,sorry, ran to the door, and hugged him.

"I missed you, dumbass." I laughed. I felt Carrie hugging us. And there we sat, hugging each other. 

"Look I know you guys love me, but can you please let me go, I'm suffocating." he huffed.

"Oh, you wish,Dumbo." Carrie said. Dumbo was Markian's nickname given by the one and only, Carrie Lestrade.

"Whatever...Carebear."

We released him from our tight embrace and I headed back to our living room, while they both sat in the corridor, bickering like an old, married couple.

"Will you please transfer your whiny butts in the living room and stop arguing." I told them as I picked the tea cups from the coffee table. 

"Yes ma'am." they said in unison. I could hear them throwing insults under their breath, at each other.

Markian went to his room while me and Carrie waited for him in the kitchen. All three of us agreed on a movie night so we were preparing snacks and drinks.  A couple of minutes later, we made ourselves comfortable in front of the screen. Each person had to choose a movie, the first being Carrie. Now before you read the rest, I need to say that Carrie's weekness is Christmas. Imagine my utter suprise when she chose The Grinch, a Christmas classic. So there we sat, all three, watching a Christmas movie on a fine thursday night.

The next person to chose was me. I chose Dead Poets Society. That movie was my initial step into the fine art and pleasing look of dark academia. I have always loved it and to be honest, the  two dummies sitting near me were not suprised. Minutes later, the chosing decision made it's way to Markian. He put on Die Hard 1. A movie about a german criminal trying to steal a big fortune from a japanese company. His great plan is put to an end by a police officer on winter holiday, who is visiting his wife that works at the company. I loved the thrill of it, the chase.

A lot of drinks later, it was time to go to sleep. We headed to our rooms quietly not to disturb our neighbours.After changing into more proper clothes to sleep in, I got into my bed. Minutes passed and I could hear someone's profound snores (take a guess whose snores). As I closed my eyes, I quietly fell into a dreamless abyss.

Hello, everybody. This is chapter 3 of the book. I hope you liked it. Vote, comment.                              Love and internet hugs,KD.
