COLLEGE AU (THE GHOST LIBRARY ONE)

You close your laptop, take a deep breath, and let your head sink down into the old library desk. Oh, god, yes. You’re finally done. Done at 3AM, way ahead of schedule. You are done with this essay and now you can sleep until noon and go turn it in at the last minute and then go home for the holidays. Whew.

Or, well, that would have been your plan if you didn’t suddenly hear a scream echo from behind a shelf. Someone’s in trouble! Jade Harley, to the rescue! You rush to the source of the noise and find… that weird, yell-y dude in your English class lying helplessly on the floor.

“I just saw a ghost,” he mutters, his eyes dead to the world. “A ghost of a student who died just like how I’m going to: by over-studying myself off a cliff and into the spiky pits of ass backwards writing.”

Oh gosh, he’s lost it. “I think you need to take a break.” you say. “You’ve been reading too much Gothic literature.”

“There are no breaks in death! There is nothing but the dark abyss, coming to jam itself up my asshole like some kind of cold metal pipe.”

“Yeah, okay.” You’re really tired, and this guy clearly needs help, or caffeine or something, so you sit down next to him. Hey, yeah, maybe you could go get something at the cafe! It should still be open at this hour. “Wanna go get coffee?”

He looks at you like you’re interrupting his brooding session, sighs, and says with resignation, “Sure.”
