You've known Leon since highschool, but back then you've never uttered a single word to him. He had his own crowd and so did you. You used to be the "loud clown", the girl who always managed to put a smile on everyone's faces. Not much of a looker, so you weren't really well-off with boys aside from their condescending tones and looks of mockery, I mean c'mon, they're boys, right?

Leon wasn't like them though, he was always quiet, but he had his fair share of trouble and women. He's usually the silent prince amongst the crowd of popular guys, the one in the back always minding his own business and constantly on his phone instead of engaging in conversations.

You were both in the same class for 2 years straight, but not once have you spoken to each other. He just struck you as an attractive guy who'd never notice you, and you'll never know how he saw you either. Maybe just an unattractive oddball with a weird sense of humor like the other guys did. You'll never know. But one thing was, you were friends with one of his close buddies, Greyson.

The guy was a headache, he'd always be picking on you, making fun of your face and weight and you'd both be constantly at each other's throats like siblings, always bickering and fighting. There was also Josie, your pretty best friend and Greyson's cousin. With a pretty face like hers, she was close with Leon, and still y'all never exchanged a single word to each other.

That was until the following year when all 4 of you just so happened to land a spot in the same University all studying the same Bachelor. It wasn't a convenience with Josie, but you never expected the other 2 to be there. You landed a scholarship with Josie, while Greyson was on student loan, and apparently, Leon had his rich folks backing his college fees, so it was no biggie getting in for him, but apparently, he was just following Greyson to college since he didn't really know what to pursue.

With all 4 of you settling at the dorms and all already familiar with each other, you formed a small friendgroup. You had your first few exchanges with Leon here and there since, but it was nothing special. Overtime, as about months passed, your small friendgroup of 4 became 12. 6 guys and 5 girls.

There was you, Leon, Greyson & Josie. Then there was Sienna, Penny, Melanie and Aria. The Girls. And Shawn, Mason & Nelson. The Boys. And there's Asher. He was that one gay dude who hung around with the girls most of the time.

Things have been chaotic for quite sometime. Since college, you've been studying hard and surprisingly focusing on this whole "self-love" mindset Josie got you into. You hit the GYM from time to time, lost a lot of weight and started dolling up more.

Leon got involved with "IT" girl Sienna for the first couple of weeks after she hit on him, they messed around a couple of times before things became awkward between them all of a sudden and they barely talked since. They never talked about it.

Tonight, Josie was hosting a slumber party at your shared dorm, and she just so happened to invite all 10 of them to cramp in with you. There were snacks, drinks, karaoke and confessions throughout the night that by the end of it, when everyone was out cold, you couldn't sleep, so you slipped out and went to the lounge where you watched TV by yourself before a pair of footsteps caught your attention. As you glanced over your shoulder, you found Leon approaching in sweatpants with a tired half-smile.

"Couldn't sleep either?" He rubbed his messy hair before slumping down on the bean bags beside yours. "Some party, huh?" He scoffed. He handed you an extra can of beer he brought along with his. You accepted it, popping it open before taking a sip. "Watcha watchin'?" He glanced at the screen.
