"a new year a new adventure" is what everyone thinks at the start of every year , I thought about the same thing the day I cheered with the people sitting with me on the table.
Such a chilly night, nothing but the cheap booze in our hand to warm us up. Nothing to worry about. I imagine this to be one of the best moments a man can ever live. *clunk*
" Man, Alex we are gonna miss you so much"
" Yeah buddy, don't forget us when u go to B. city"
Louis n Lucas have been my childhood friends, we are basically like brothers. Leaving that town might have been the hardest thing I did in the 20 years of my sane life.
"of course not man u guys are my family".
" of course, we are".
" can't believe little Alex is all grown up already, going to college in a foreign city"
" haha guess i'm not so little anymore huh what if I go there and just ya know die"
" Shut up u cunt or you might as well get killed right now by me" " haha drink up man"
we drank the whole night away.
I have been living in an orphanage for as long as I can remember. Louis and Lucas have been my family, I don't remember anything about my birth parents.
Nanny once told me my parents were alcoholic but that's about it. That's all I know about them.
2 days pass by in a swoon and it was time for me to go, I bid farewell to everyone in the orphanage*
" Man, Lucas stop crying he's not going to die".
" But our baby Alex!!!"
" haha Lucas don't worry I'll try to visit as much as I can now stop crying"
I got on the bus and said my last goodbye to everyone and took the empty seat next to the window.
*inhale, exhale* BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE HERE I COME!
I tried to sleep on the bus but couldn't because of the excitement , I couldn't stop looking out the window at the beautiful scenery and imagining my new life as an independent boy .
After about 4 to 5 hours I finally reached my destination.
Stepping out, the first thing I notice was how the smell of the city was so different to that of my town.
food stalls, tall buildings, busy people running from one place to another, Busy roads and individuals cycling everywhere, this place has so much life to it everything just makes me fall in love with the city!!
Not long after admiring the place, I started to search for my apartment while looking around trying to take in every scene that lit my eyes all too bright and made my heart feel joy within.
What a warm feeling. "Oh, WOW did that girl just do a backflip?! wowwww cool!"
It took me a little while to find my apartment, but I managed to find it eventually.
It was a one-person apartment so I didn't expect anything great anyway, it had a simple structure; a single bedroom and all the essentials a person would need, I mean, I couldn't afford anything larger anyways.
I undid all my stuff and set up everything I needed for the following day. It was gonna be my first day at college, so as they say, A new beginning in life.
I was exhausted and it hardly took me 5 mins to fall asleep.
*beep beep beep* "ugh what time is it... its 7:30.... ITS 7:30 ALREADY!?!?"
I got dressed as fast as I could and ran for my class
" shit my class starts at 8".
I entered my college in a hurry .
Wow this college is huge! I love this! but better admire this place later I have to find my class.
I reached the class door just in time.
"you're late" the professor said after striking me with the pile of paper he was holding. "Go to your seat now " I went up " damn I was barely a minute late" I mumbled. I looked up straight and sat behind a boy.
Professor: "Ok class I'll be your English professor my name is Liam blah blah"
" ugh the first day and he's giving us a lecture "
*Scribble Scribble * I was taken in by the sound of scribbling on a paper, it appeared to be the boy in front of me.
It looked like he was trying to draw something I leaned a little closer.
"Hey!"
He turned around to look at me and man do I tell you, he was the prettiest thing I've ever seen; pale skin, flushed cheeks, long lashes, it all fits so well with his orangish brown hair and light eyes which seemed... dead?
If it wasn't for his whole getup and body, I would have actually mistaken him for a girl.
He just gave me a cold stare and went back to doing what he was doing.
"I'm Alex I'm new to the city " .... ignored ...
"Umm hello?" ... ignored again.
Is he deaf or what? nah he can't be deaf he just turned around when I said hey.
" dude the professor is just giving an introduction you can at least reply to me?"… Wow not even a single word.
"jeez dude I was just tryna start a conversation with you" not even a ok..? not going to lie his face was pretty if it wasn't for his gender I would have found his behaviour cool, I would have actually fallen for him.
oh, so that's how it is! annoying never mind these city boys have no manners anyway.
I tried to get a glimpse of what he was drawing or writing but he was just making a smiley face with red ink.
maybe he was just drawing stuff to pass time. After class was over it didn't take me long to make "friends", most of them being girls to be exact.
" How tall are you Alex you look really tall"
" Do you have a gf?"
" want to go to karaoke with us after class?"
" Your hair is really pretty can I touch it?" I was in a foul mood because of that boy ,I didn't feel like socializing at that moment.
" aha ladies I actually have to go use the rest room, if you'll excuse me I'll be going then."
I rushed out of the class room and made my way to the restroom.
"ugh what was his deal anyway, dumb short dude trying to act all high n mighty who does he think he- wait why am I getting pissed over some shorty on my first day I'm gonna have the time of my life"
I opened the restroom door full of enthusiasm " IM GONNA -"
Of course, who would have been there none other than that tiny piece of-
He splated water over his head and looked at himself in the mirror his hazel coloured eyes were as dead as usual, his light fainted hair flicked back as the water droplets went with it he looked so.... beautiful.
what beautiful??? he is a dude! and a rude one to be exact. Get a hold of yourself Alex!
Our eyes locked " uh umm hey so we met-" I forgot about my self-respect once again.
And got ignored...again.
He walked pass me, did not even let me complete my sentence.
dumb ... DUMB AS HELL ALEX WHERE IS YOUR SELF RESPECT YOU DEEP SHIT.
I turned around and he was gone.
THAT RUDE BASTARD I WAS WRONG SO WRONG TO THINK HE WAS BEAUTIFUL HES A WITCH AND A MEAN BITCH .
I did my business and went for my next class I was pissed the whole time but managed to get through with everyone with a smile on the face.
How can someone be this fucking rude like get a life that's why he looks lonely even with that pretty- NO WITCHY FACE ugh I hate this.
I mumbled about him for the rest of my classes I don't even know why I took his actions so personally guess no one ever treated me like this before or maybe he was just too noticeable.
After all the classes were over, I got on the bus. I started using my phone just to distract myself. A new notification popped up.
* Headline: another dead body was found by a group of hikers in B. city
the police has given a report about the rising cases of the bodies being found in different parts of the city.
they reported that this was no case of murder, but its a serial killer as none of the victims along with their families are related, neither do they know anyone in common.
The murdering spree is not confirmed yet, but we will still advice the citizens of city B. to be safe and stay home as much as possible until this investigation is solved.
Further reporting, 85% of the victims found were young and all of the victims have two things in common, their right arm was broken and they all had head injuries.
Youngsters are advised to not walk alone in the streets especially at night.
There is a serial killer in this town ?? why did I not know about this or is it only displayed in the local news? ugh who knows I'm scared now. IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN 1 DAY SINCE I CAME HERE!!
"Scared you're going to be next?"
