THE CAMPUS WAS huge.Like, huge. It stretched so far, that a walk from one end to another would have been an extreme workout. Brooklyn was as busy as ever with everyone bustling about with their everyday lives. NYU hadn't been far from the East Village, but it took longer due to the traffic.

I HAD LOCKED myself in a room, adamant on being away from the loud music, and most importantly, people. I wanted to stay away from people.I was trying to read a book, but the music sounded like people screaming. Which it was. I was being ear raped, if such a thing even existed.

DOWNTOWN DINER WAS deserted once again the next day. It made me speculate whether the customers had decreased since I was now working here. Surely, I wasn't that bad.Or maybe it was because of the intense cold which threatened to freeze my skin off. I could almost imagine it snowing.

DOWNTOWN DINER WAS dark and cold – not to mention, it looked like a set from a horror movie which was no doubt where someone would end up dying because they had chosen to seek out the source of an eerie sound.Dan and Cassie had not even bothered to show up.

"You're sure you're ready? I mean, we've still got, like, two weeks."Soon after I had talked to Shane, I closed the diner for the day and raced home, hands still shaking. This will all come to end soon, I had told myself,

"EARTH TO AUTUMN?"I snapped out of my reverie, blinking furiously. "Huh? What?"I was still very much lost in thought about what Justin had said last night. In fact, I h
