Let's start this pathetic story from the very beginning. My whole life, I always plan ahead. I always know what I want and how to achieve it. Despite how life throws shits on me, I always find myself picking the pieces to continue reaching my targets. Life indeed has some tricks but you keep going.
I was a bright student in school, got prom queen and even valedictorian. People said I'm lucky to be pretty and have good grades but they don't know how hard I need to work to be where I am. I'm not from a ... loving family. I grow up being compared with my elder siblings which suck! No matter how hard I tried to be better, there would always something I'm missing. I might have good grades but I don't know how to cook or navigate well. I might have good looks but my mum said I got the worst gene in the family. Yeah I know my brother and sister have better looks. Let me hit the pause button for 'family issues'.
I do have good friends. My high school life was not that bad. I mean, I tried to break the stereotype where pretty girls must be in the cheerleader squad (I hate remembering steps) and must be dumb in math (I ace it!). It was hard at first because as soon as I came to school everyone thought I would practically be Jennifer 2.0 (my stupid sister). She was the prettiest (leader for cheerleader squad) and play around almost every guy in football team. No offence but, we never get each other. Like, NEVER. We grow up fighting and pulling each other's hair. I barely remember the time we didn't scream at each other. Maybe at my granny's funeral.
I get it if people think I'm ungrateful but it was exhausting to keep up with the ridiculous thing. I want something bigger like Harvard, NYU with a full scholarship. I want to leave town and be someone I really wanted to be without feeling guilt.
Wait for a minute, how can we relate to the first sentence we read? I will get to it. Bare with me for a bit more.
I work hard and I got to Harvard. Full sponsor! Away from my family for the first time. I'm sooo ready for a new start!

For the first few days here, I guess it was not so bad. I mean, I love it here. I got a few people being 'interested' in me, let me rephrase that, wanted to get into my pants especially at welcome parties. College people sure love to party like A LOT.
I was at this party on my second day. My roommate made me go to it. I was sitting on the corner somewhere in the house that's when I saw him. I saw a guy who had this vibe, his aura attracts me. Does it make sense? I guess not.
I saw him, entering the house with some of his friends. My eyes caught he's, we had like a moment of staring competition going on which I lost cause I looked away. I don't believe in love at first sight because doesn't make sense at all. How can you be sure that it's love, not your hormones messing you up?
'Hi' (I looked up. It's him)
Instead of saying Hi back, I actually looked around to see if he was talking to someone else. For a second I have a flash of our future together with babies and you know, where you died you see a flash of your life since you were born till the moment before you died. Instead, I saw flashes of, I said it, babies, weddings, house together with the backyard.
The next thing I knew, I barfed on him.... bye bye future.
Let me describe how good he looks, oh and he did smell nice. Like sweet smell instead of men's pungent fragrance smell. Except I ruined his smell right after those stupid flashes. Ok, imagine Levi Ackerman in AOF ( I know he's a 2D character but just go with me), he has the same type of vibe. His hair almost like Levi but instead it's dark chocolate but also almost like burgundy under this dim light. His jawline was so defined, I could cut myself by just looking at it. His eyes were dull as he seems to have very little sleep so I could see the eye beg but not in a bad way. His eyes suit his vibe. His lips look shiny yet chapped. He has this cute mole under his left eye. He is not baff but not too thin, he had ideal body shape with damn arms. His bicep. How do I describe something without sound like a pervert. It was see-thru even though he wore long sleeves. I hope it's enough for now.
Instead of walking away from me, HE TOOK OFF HIS SHIRT AND ASKED IF I WAS ALRIGHT. Girl, everyone was looking. He doesn't have 6 packs but I think I saw 2 packs and another 2 in the making... I was soooooo ashamed, I ran away. At least, I saw the most attractive man on earth that night.

Last night was SOMETHING. I decided to be more productive today so I woke up early to join the campus tour. I get ready and went down to the cafe nearby to get my morning latte.
That morning I went alone because most of my friends still stuck with hangovers. I honestly did not drink much and I puked on ... I just don't want to be reminded of that. The tour begins in an hour so I decided to sit in. Suddenly I smell .... sweetness. A smell that I could never EVER forget. Then i heard, 'the usuals'. I looked up, it was HIM! HE IS STARING AT ME! OMG HE IS WEARING A TURTLE NECK!!! He looks soooooooooooooo much better than I described him, especially under the natural light.
I looked away and pretended like I needed to answer a call.
He. Walks. Straight. Towards. ME.
He sits and said, ' I'm pretty sure you owned me my dry cleaning bill last night.'
The moment he chooses to sit right next to me, I could hardly think otherwise. I'm...in love....
