Summary
You’ve read far too much about love to allow yourself to make such a careless mistake. You know all about how it sneaks up on you. How one day it’s hardly much of anything, how the next it becomes bright and loud and too much. You know that better than anyone. You’ve read thousands of iterations of it, thousands of admissions, thousands of hastily scrawled out pleas to understand that you must understand, I could have never seen this coming.
You consider love, hate, indifference. You turn over words in your mind until they sound wrong and removed. You do this with love until you can stand to hear it echoed in your own thoughts.
(When you realise you love her, you’ll plead to yourself in the mirror. You must understand, you’ll beg, I could have never seen this coming.)
(or, a story about love, hate, truths, and what it means to be and love a monster)

Summary
Mira has been going over each little thing for the past week. Meticulously turning them over in her mind, replaying events in her head until she’s sick from remembering. It’s something like a punishment. A constant reminder of all the ways she fucked up; hardly feels like enough atonement after hearing everything that Rumi has gone through her entire life.
Rumi stops being able to sing. Rumi starts completely shutting down, worse than either of them have ever seen. Rumi starts pulling away. There are nights where Mira swears Rumi isn’t in her room, but she can’t prove it. Rumi starts obsessively wearing layers—turtlenecks paired up with jackets and compression shirts underneath all of that. Rumi starts being strangely combative and harsh. Rumi snaps at her in a way that is completely uncharacteristic for her. Rumi won’t sing their song, even with the world caving in around them, as if she wouldn’t mind if the world did end.
Mira hasn’t stopped feeling guilty.

Summary
The question marks were not motivating, and her handwriting was sloppy. She vaguely remembered scribbling half of this when Rumi and Mira were distracted by Bobby, and the other half in a sleep-drunken stupor. A lot of her lyrics seemed to come to her while she was asleep—which was why most of her notebooks had such messy writing. Some of these things woke her up from a dead sleep.

Summary
Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her dorm room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.
Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.
Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
“For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”Kang Mira sent you $501.00
“lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”
Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

Summary
Zoey is blatantly in love with both of them. She had been terrified of screwing things up, until she realised that Rumi was totally in love with Mira. Which only served to make her feel like more of an ass, until she realised that Rumi was also totally into her. Rumi being in love with her sort of threw a wrench in everything, because Zoey could tell that Mira was in love with Rumi back, so she felt even worse about all of that.
And then she realised Mira was also in love with her.
It started off as small things, picking up on looks that previously were only exchanged with Rumi—though, the more Zoey thinks about it, she also might have been a little oblivious back then—making Mira laugh at things that were really not that funny, casual touches. It’s obvious enough that they’re all in love with each other, or, at the very least, like each other in a more-than-just-friendly way.
If anything, everything has gotten a million times worse, since Zoey is now stuck with the terrible burden of knowledge, which has seemed to elude Mira and Rumi both.
(or, zoey's never-ending plight that is trying to get rumi and mira to understand that she Wants Them)
