the light sound of lead tracing over paper fills the silence in grayson’s dorm, his headphones in as they flow the new 1975 album through his ears. his eyes were wide, his heart pacing fast as he glanced from his math book to his paper. math never being his favorite subject, it took a few energy pills to get him through studying for the exam. a small yelp escaped his lips as his phone started to ring in his ears. simone’s name lit up his screen, a sigh escaping his lips as he shook his head slightly, knowing exactly why the girl would call him at 2am. upon answering, her slurred words bunched together, “the cafe? woah woah, slow down,” he chuckled, “just stay where you are, i’m coming.” he said, his head shaking slightly as grabbed his coat walking out his dorm room and into the night, what he did for this girl was insane. his head hung down as he scrolled through his phone, looking through his feed to pass time as he walked. after a couple mintures his map dinged — you have arrived . his head lifting up to search for the drunken girl. his eyes finally landed on an unconscious girl sitting in a table outside a cafe, her dark hair draped over the table, her eyes closed. sliding into the seat next to her, he pushed the hair from her face, his hand softly shaking her, “simone,” he whispered “wake up.” part of him wanted to lecture her for falling asleep outside, but knowing she probably couldn’t help it. “you’re going to get kidnapped if you keep doing this, and im going to have to go taken on someones ass.” he joked.
