You had always struggled in English and just writing in general, so when your English teacher wanted you to write a 10 page essay on some book you hadn't even read at all because it wasn't interesting, you just knew you were screwed.

As you sat in your dorm room, the only light being the one from your computer and the moon glaring through your window, you tried to think of something to write.

Your mind kept blanking, you had a page and a half done. The assignment was due in 2 days. There was no way in hell you were getting this done. You were staring off into space again, trying to think of some sort of filler so you could write at least one more page tonight.

You didn't seem to notice your girlfriend, Astrid entering the room because of how far your mind was from present day. She had expected you to be awake, just not working on an English assignment.
