I groan as I read the words in the second hand book which I had rented because it would be stupid to buy brand new book for my classes in college. After a few more minutes, I realize I had read the same sentence three times I close the book. I blow a raspberry, bored and I swing my legs under my desk and my eyes go to my Discord where I see Boomer is online. I shrug because maybe I could talk to him about this and try to get a second opinion. I mean, I am pretty sure that he dropped out of college too so that totally makes sense. I don't even bother to message him before pressing the call button and he picks up within a few seconds which makes an amused smile appear on my face.

"Hey baby girl," Boomer greets me and I roll my eyes because he has been calling me it for however long now. He told me in a call that he does it to mess with me and will keep doing it unless I tell him to stop which was kind of sweet of him. I simply laughed it off and told him that I didn't mind but we both knew that it wasn't going to stop the shipping but we both found it more then hilarious. We had literally spent hours looking at the fan art and animatics, just laughing at how good it was and how funny it was.

"Hey," I laugh a little, knowing that there was no point in arguing about it because it would only lead to more teasing from him. "Are you busy right now?" I ask him because I know that he has been trying to edit some more videos to try and get more content out which I constantly tease him about. It wouldn't be fair to distract him from that so I'll leave him alone if he wants so he can focus because the man has the attention span of a literal child. But so do I so I have no room to speak.

"Not really," Boomer says and I sit back in my chair, knowing that I should be working on an essay on stocks and how shit the market was but it was just boring. Plus there is no real point in doing it if I plan on dropping out soon. "Why, what's up?" He asks and I click out of the Google doc which I had been writing a draft up on, silently thankful that it wasn't like Word where I had to physically save it.

"I was thinking right,"

"How rare," Boomer says with an amused tone and I roll my eyes at the teasing.

"Hey! Fuck you!" I say through laughs even though there is a smile across my face and I pull my legs up to my chest as he laughs with me at his own joke. I roll my eyes and go back to what I was going to say because I really want someone else's opinion. "Anyways, I was thinking about dropping out of college." I tell him as I yawn a little as it's almost one in the morning.

"Really?" Boomer says sounding genuinely shocked at me telling him that. I hum a little, letting him know that I wasn't joking around about it and rub my tiredness out of my eyes, not really feeling tired but my body saying differently. "I thought you liked the business major." He tells me and I can't help a small smile from appearing on my face as he had remembered what I was majoring in. "And the history thingy." He adds quickly because I had gone on rants to him during live streams about how dumb people in the past were, explaining how I was taking a history class and he would always find it funny and remind me that we play Minecraft for a living.

"I like the history thing more." I say with a small laugh because it was a class that I thought I wouldn't have liked as much as I did but it was a class that I actually liked going to. Boomer hums a little and I shrug to myself. "I don't know, I just got recognized the other day and it was really uncomfortable." I recall with a sigh, cringing a little at the memory. Since then I had done my best to avoid people and just get to my car so I could get back to my apartment as fast possible. "Plus, I'm just relearning all the things I already know." I add because it's the truth, I haven't really learned anything new that I couldn't have just googled.

"I'm sorry baby girl," Boomer says and I sigh again, looking around my room for something to do because I am more then bored. I decide to play snake on Google because it's rather fun to play and have just messed with it on stream before and my chat loved it. And I liked the rainbow hidden setting. "Do you mind if I read my subs and donos?" He asks me after a few minutes and I freeze, watching as my snake runs into the wall and my breath catches in my throat. "Hello?"

"You're streaming?" I ask him quietly and feel more awake then I have all day.

"Yeah," He tells me, the tone of his voice changed to one with more concern which is both really sweet but I am casually about to die as I just accidentally told about sixty thousand people my plans for the future which were meant to be kind of private. "I thought you knew that." Boomer says carefully and I groan into my hands.

"Boomer!" I say through my hands, aware that my voice was extremely muffled. "Don't mind me, I'm going to go fucking cry." I tell him quietly and I quickly leave the call, almost immediately getting a message a second or so later from Boomer asking if I'm ok as I shrink into my chair trying not to cry.
