A cool breeze in the evening gathers all the young students from the college like a flock of butterflies, with lives full of butter and lies.

Do you know what the most beautiful thing about being a college student is? It's the romantic young couples on campus who flirt and kiss as if they are the only two people in the world. Haa... how irritating!

That's bullshit, and those kinds of people suck. It's really tough to be single in your early 20s, you know. But hey, I'm just a girl!!(a pookie cat inside my mind) I know, it's kind of cringey, sorry guys.

I'm just a single sophomore who wanders around the college like a worker bee. My name is Lia Allison. It makes me wonder how the fuck only these guys have time to wander around and be all lovey-dovey? I'm seriously jealous.

I'm not great at socializing; I’m just… you could say… an ambivert. Yup, that's right, an ambivert. In a college full of students eager to make friends in their first year, I also made a friend, which is a bit surprising to me too. Her name is Nira Skaret.

Opposites do attract!! She's carefree, and I'm moody. But somehow, I think Cupid struck her with an arrow to be my friend. Just to clarify, I'm straight.

We go to college together and hang out together. Proudful note: I had never skipped classes until I met her.

Everything in my life started to change, but one thing that remains constant is my love for romantic books. Yeah, bookgirlies and booktok unite!!! That's what we live for, and it's something Nira and I have in common.

We attend book fairs and buy books and comics. I love cute romcoms with a Billionaire B rich male lead who treats his girl like a princess. It may be cliché, but I adore those books, and I've even dreamed of my fairy-tale proposal by a 6’5’’ blue eyes fairy king near the magical lake. Then reality hits like a slap in the face—ouch!!

Nira's taste is the complete360 degree turn: dark romance. Yeah, they're good too.

This is who I am, and all I do is read books on my Kindle or physical copies. Some might think I'm a nerd who studies all the time, but only God knows what crimes I've committed!!

Jesus!!!!

One day, I received a call from Nira saying she couldn't come to college due to family problems. I was already in the classroom, so I decided to head to the library to read. On the way, I heard...

Thud!!!
