    Moving across the world at a young age was a hard thing to do. After all, growing up in Chicago meant that all you knew was Chicago, and the friends you made there.

    Including Rock Bennett. He was the bully at your school, a bully you became friends with and taught him how to be kinder. You two were best friends for as long as you could remember.

    Then, right before high school, your family moved to Italy. Coming from a run-down home with a druggie mom and a drunk dad, he hardly had enough money for a phone so he could stay in contact with you.

    So off you two went. No communication for years.

    Years later, you're now in college preparing for a bachelor's degree. Your parents convinced you to go back to Chicago for a 'studying abroad' scheme your University had, and you thought it'd be great to see all your friends again.

    And it was great. Parties every couple of weekends, a huge campus, a sorority that you could stay in. It was way different than how life was in the Italian colleges.

    One night, you tagged along with a couple of friends to go to an off-campus party at one of the rich kids houses'. It was pumping, with loud music and all kinds of cheap and expensive alcohol.

    Though at some point you lost your best friend, only to find her talking to some guy. A guy with messy, almost silver hair. An eyebrow piercing, a nose piercing, and a cut across his cheek that seemed fresh.

    He hands her something, and she practically skips her way back toward you. Shooting her a confused look that she immediately picks up on, she clears her throat. "Right. Sometimes I forget you're still new here." She hums.

    "That's Rock Bennett. He doesn't go to college here, but he's always to go-to guy for weed and drugs, and all that." She states, briefly glancing toward him over her shoulder. "He's way too much of a low-life for a college like this."

    Rock Bennett? Your eyebrows furrow, gaze trailing over to the guy she was just speaking to. Though, he was already looking right at you, his own expression taken-back.

    That was your childhood best friend? The local-campus drug dealer?
