For me, sleep was a traitor that night.

I tossed, turned, and stared at the ceiling until my eyes stung. The room was quiet except from my roommate’s even breaths coming from the bed across the room and the faint hum of the heater in the corner but inside me, it was chaos. So much chaos. My chest was too tight, my thoughts too loud. And it felt like I was going crazy.

It was supposed to just be an ordinary evening, just me blowing off some steam at the basketball court. It was supposed to be just me trying to forget anxieties bubbling around Skylar and I. Just that. But then she showed up and everything was no longer the same.

Her.

Even though it happened hours before, I could still clearly remember how meeting her and talking to her had happened as if it was happening right now—her walking toward me, her hair catching the orange glow of the court lights, her stride unhurried like she knew exactly what she was doing to me.

Jasmine.

God. Jasmine.

She hadn’t changed much, only grown sh

    At noon, the cramps continued to be merciless and I was fucking sick and tired of it. By the time the professor was halfway through his lecture on international relations, I was chewing on my lower lip so hard I was sure it would bleed. My notebook lay open in front of me, but the lines blurred and danced together, the words refusing to settle into meaning. Every few seconds, a sharp twist of pain rippled through my stomach like someone was wringing my insides.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, clutching my pen so hard my knuckles whitened.“Sky, you okay?” Amy, a quiet girl in class, whispered from the seat beside me, her bushy brows pulled together in concern.I forced a smile and spoke without turning to her. “Yeah. Just… you know. Girl stuff.”Her expression softened with instant understanding, but the cramps didn’t care about sympathy. They only dug deeper, and I felt beads of sweat prickle along my hairline. I couldn’t sit there another minute pretending to focus while my

    I woke up with the kind of pain that makes you think the universe has a personal vendetta against you. A sharp, twisting knot curled low in my stomach, dragging me out of sleep with a groan.At first, I thought it was just hunger gnawing at me—I’d barely touched dinner last night after all—but then another cramp rolled through, sharper this time, like someone was wringing my insides like a wet towel.“Ugh,” I muttered, clutching my stomach as I tried to sit up. The movement only made the blanket slip, and that’s when I saw it.Great. Perfect. Of course it was my period.The red stain mocked me like a punchline to a cruel joke. My cramps weren’t hunger pangs at all—they were nature’s way of announcing, surprise, you’re still a woman, congrats.I rolled my eyes at the ceiling and muttered, “Kill me now.”Dragging myself off the bed, I started rearranging the sheets, fumbling with my comforter and tugging at the corners like I could somehow erase the mess and the pain at the same time.“

    “Hey.”“You… you’re back,” I breathed, my voice catching somewhere between disbelief and the weight of memories crashing back.Her smile tugged at the corner of her lips, cautious but warm, like she wasn’t sure she had the right to smile like that in front of me.She tilted her head slightly, eyes searching mine. “Yeah. I am.” There was a pause from her. Then, almost too casually, she added, “Want to go on a walk?”My first instinct was to refuse. Every fiber of my body wanted to stay glued to the safety of the court, to the sound of the ball echoing in my head, to the memory of Skylar’s laughter still clinging to the air. But then I looked at Jasmine—the familiar slope of her nose, the quiet determination in her eyes—and I heard myself mutter, “I… I guess.”Her smile widened, just a fraction, and she turned toward the gate. My legs followed before my brain had decided anything.We slipped out of the court, then out of the school environs after some minutes and into the cool Boston ev

    For several more moments, there was silence. I almost thought June had fallen back asleep or was ignoring me on purpose. Then, suddenly, she burst out laughing.Oh God, I thought immediately and rolled my eyes at her. “Oh my God,” she wheezed, clutching her pillow to her chest. “That’s what kept you awake all night? You—” she pointed at me in the dark, shaking with giggles, “you lying there like a tragic Victorian heroine, sighing at the ceiling because you were busy pondering love? Really?”I groaned and shoved my face into the pillow. “Forget it. I shouldn’t have asked.”But she wasn’t letting up. She rolled over, grinning like a maniac, her hair sticking out at gravity-defying angles. “Wait, wait, wait. Don’t tell me this is about Ryans. Is this about Ryans?”Heat shot up my neck. “No. Of course not!”She certainly didn't believe me because then, her grin widened and she said coyly, “Ohhh, it is.”I pulled the blanket over my head, muffling my voice. “I regret every life choice t

    I should’ve been asleep hours ago. I really should have been asleep. Yet, here I was, widely awake.The dorm was quiet except for the faint hum of the radiator and the occasional groan of the old pipes. June’s breathing was steady — the kind of easy rhythm that suggested she’d passed out without a care in the world. Meanwhile, I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling like it might give me answers to the questions pouring though my mind like a flood. It was useless.Every time I closed my eyes, Ryans’ visit replayed itself in crystal detail. Him sitting across from me, the faint curve of his mouth when I’d said something that amused him. The way his voice dipped when he spoke to me. The way his eyes were fixed on me as I spoke about my new roommate. And—Of course, layered over all of it was June’s voice, cutting in like an unwanted soundtrack over and again causing me to almost go crazy. Like, you look like the type that would be somewhere between mildly tolerant and plotting
