SAVANNAH'S POV

I threw myself to bed and I'm already so exhausted even though it's still Wednesday. I have this seriously difficult project to pass on Friday which I'm still not done with, the same day as my exam for English I. I haven't memorized the English writers needed to be memorized. The past three days, I haven't seen Nick again. He's always gone so long and just pops out of nowhere all of a sudden. I know I shouldn't be allowed to look for him cos we have no label but he makes me worried about him sometimes.

The door swings open, "Ugh! Good thing I saw you."

It was Tracy.

She walks inside and slammed the door behind her. She sits on my bed and I smiled at her. She looks as tired as I am. "I need a hug." She sighs.

She opens her arms wide to me with a rueful smile. I pulled myself up and just hugged her. I rubbed her back. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Clyde and I fought. Nick is not picking up his phone when I called him and... I really need someone that's why I'm here and I'm glad you're here." She answered.

"Why'd you fought with Clyde?" I asked.

She pulls herself away. "He got jealous over my classmate that's been linked to me since I first got here. I mean come on, it wasn't like we did something sexual."

I smiled at her. "I'm sure everything's gonna be okay. Clyde will realize that tomorrow."

She sighs.

"I hope." She rolls her eyes at me.

"Hey, cheer up. Why don't we go... Drink?"

She arched an eyebrow. "You don't drink Sav." She snorts.

"I think I need a drink too. I'm really tired with my classes lately and I gotta unwind a little bit. Gosh it's just the middle day of the week and I'm already exhausted. Beat that." I said.

She chuckles. "Okay, let's go grab some drinks. Let's call it a Saracy night."

"A what?"

"Saracy. Combined name for Savannah and Tracy." She smiles.

I chuckled. "Okay. Let's go."
