It's noon. The sun is shining directly on my face, burning my skin. I'm not in the dorms unfortunately. I'm on the basketball field. The professional one, not the one we played on for fun. Archer's coach is there too. Along with some other students I care not know where they came from.

It's tryouts and I'm trying out. Dad had been low-key pestering me about it for forever, and I was one step away from snapping at him. The only reason they want me to play basketball is so that I can be one way more similar to Archie.

"Matheos 2, it's your turn." I try not to roll my eyes at the nickname. What the heck is Matheos 2? I take the basketball from the other person and bounce it a little. The little bitch ricochets and hits me in the chin. If you guessed I'm not in my element today, you guessed right.

It all started when I woke up. It was a call from dad that did the trick. He called me 17 times. 17 fucking times! I picked up the phone and my mind was racing. The first thing that came into

    I don't know what I hate more. Reading for a test, or writing the actual test. I'm in my dorm room, earphones in, trying my very best to concentrate. They say writing down what you've read helps memory retention, but the only thing I've written down is the name of a Matheos child that starts with A. The door flies open, and my shoulders stiffen a little. Ander has become very unpredictable these days. To my relief, it's just plain old Jesse. I remove my earphones,dropping them on the table. The music I was listening to wasn't even all that."Hey, whatchu doing?" He comes behind me, resting his chin on my shoulder. It weighs me down a little, but I dare not complain. "I'm trying to study for a test but it's not working." He raises himself from me and goes to his wardrobe. I turn my chair to face him. "You're going out?" "Yeah. Ander asks I come with him. There's nothing I'm doing right now, so I guessed, why not? Can you come?" Maybe he forgot I'm a total hermit crab. I shake my h

    It's 7 pm and I'm still in our stupid lecture hall. Our professor is still saying whatnot and I'm hungry. So hungry I could eat a horse. It's a joint class, so I'm seated with Zee and Aubrey. Timothy and Charis couldn't make it for some reason known to them. Zee is snoring on my left, Aubrey, on my right is scrolling through her gallery. "It's not like you haven't seen these pictures before." I say to her. I felt like if I didn't talk, I was going to go insane. She groans so loud a few students stare at us. They too are tired or bored out of their minds. "I'm so bored. And this man isn't helping anything. He's so slow and uninteresting. I'm going crazy." "Same." I fall back to my chair, sighing."Maybe we could jump out of the window. We're just on the first floor, our chances of death are very limited." I snort a laugh because I don't think she's serious. Her pokerface tells me she is. "Alright class. That'll be all. Have a good day." It feels like everyone suddenly comes back to

    My lectures have been over for about 14 minutes now. I'm still seated, staring at the projector screen. A call from Madeleine comes in but I ignore it. I don't want to talk to her. The one person I want to talk to though, isn't responding to my texts. Actually, that's not true because I'm being clingy, I can accept that much. Vicky did respond to me, 3 hours ago. Sending him more texts is love bombing. I'm a 100% sure I'm being weird. It doesn't stop me though. "You aren't leaving?" I raise my head to see Reynolds smiling at me. Boy has had a crush on me since we started our freshman year. I've told him I'm not gay more times than my fingers can count. "I am soon. I have someone I want to meet." I'm not to meet them, but I so badly want to. "Okay. I can accompany you if you'd like." I'm grabbing my book bag. "No thanks. I wouldn't want to waste your time. Bye, enjoy yourself." I'm out the door before Reynolds can say jack Robinson. He calls after me but I've always been deaf in

    Professor what's her name calls me to her office. I don't want to go initially, because I think she'll scold me concerning my horrible grades or my almost never attending her class. I'm standing at her door, the same spot I've been at for roughly 20 minutes now. I don't have another class and as I check my phone, it's already 5 pm. She isn't even supposed to be around anymore."Aren't you going in?" Someone, who's coming out asks me. I am able to ignore them, not because I'm a rude bitch, but because the professor herself sees me and beckons me to come. "Hi," I greet taking a seat no one offered me. She doesn't say anything. Her only reaction is a silent scoff. "I received the flash drive containing your work a few days ago. You weren't in class when corrections concerning them were made." I'm about to give an excuse, but she raises her hand to silence me. She doesn't want to hear it. "Weren't you given a script? Did you memorize it?" "Why?" "Because you kept stuttering. People

    I'm actually surprised there's a lot of work to be done on our news project. It's not a film, but according to Aubrey, it has to be perfect. Not many people are needed on set compared to last time, so we're fewer and I'm idle. Finally, Ander's report is good enough for them. "That should do it. I'll go hand the flash drive to the professor. Be a darling and help carry some stuff back to the storage okay?" Aubrey barely spares me a glance as she leaves. A few others follow her, while those who are yo help me, leave. Without knowing where to start, I sit on the ground and go through my social media. "Is that being productive?" I raise my head and tense so hard I almost puke. Why does Ander seem to be everywhere? I turn off my phone, trying to pay attention to him. "I was just ... doomscrolling." I'm about to apologize, but I stop myself. Why would I need to tell Ander I'm sorry. "Okay." He drops the water bottle he was holding and sits beside me. We chose the indoor court as set, so
