I can't believe I'm in my final year of Law school. If anyone had told me that law school was easy a couple of years back, I would have been thrilled, but now, having actually lived through it, I would never advise anyone to pursue law.
I should get up and prepare for morning classes. Professor Maxwell is a stern lecturer, and his lessons are the first on the timetable.
Dragging my feet as I wake up from my bed to go and clean myself, thoughts of quitting law school and just staying at home invade my mind. Sometimes I just wish I were born rich with a golden spoon. Maybe then I wouldn't be struggling this much. I have no family to brag about, no real friends to actually talk to about my issues with. I feel like a misfit most of the time. I just know everybody, and everybody knows me, but no one truly wants to get to know me.
My phone buzzes on my nightstand, the notification lighting up my dimly lit room. Did the lecturer decide not to attend class on the first day of opening? Am I finally getting paid for the work I did over summer break? Who am I kidding? Still brushing my teeth, I walk into my bedroom to check my phone.
"A new chapter has just dropped!" I shout to no one but me. My favourite novel, ' Winter's Warmth', has been updated. Talk about starting my day on the right foot.
I need to call Jake and tell him, dialling his number, I'm met by the automatic voice on the other end. I try texting, but I'm stopped by a glaring red mark beside my typed text. That's when I see it, his text. I should have known, it's always the same. What did I ever do to have such a fate in my life? I read and reread it, but it doesn't make the dull ache in my stomach go away. I thought that by now my heart would be numb to all types of pain, but I guess I was wrong. It still hurts.
' I don't think we are a good match, Ezel. You are a great guy, you know. But, we, us, we can't work out. Our compatibility isn't that great, plus my friends don't really like you. Look, it's not you, it's me. I want someone who complements me. You'll find someone who'll love you just for you, but that guy is not me, sorry.'
Classic, I can't believe I was dumped via a text, again. You know what, he can go to hell. My morning isn't going to be ruined by an idiot. We didn't even date that long, a month, it only took a month. Anyway, I can't complain, this is the longest that I've dated someone. My life is really sad, but at least I have my favourite novel updated today. Two chapters at that.
I should hurry up to class before I get late. Finishing brushing my teeth, I quickly jump under the shower and dread the cold water that will be coming down the shower, God knows I can't afford to fix my heater, and the landlord is a schrewed person who'll just take my money.
By the time I'm locking my apartment, it's almost twenty minutes before classes start, and I'm running late. I just hope the morning bus hasn't already left. I don't want to be tardy for the first class of my final year. I still can't believe I made it to the final year. If Grandma were still alive, she would've been proud of me.
As I walk down the familiar path to the bus stop, I take out my phone to peek at the two new chapters, updated today. I'm giggly on the inside. After the author took a whole month break, no new chapters were ever updated, some fans even speculated the novel was getting dropped. Lucky for me, he updated it today.
"Wait, why does that chapter say the end?"
"Because it's the end. Now, young man, will you stop shouting?"
A middle-aged woman glares at me after replying to my outburst. Looking around, it seems that I have arrived at the bus stop. By the looks of things, today being a Monday, it's crowded, just my luck. Checking my watch, it seems that we have a couple of minutes before the bus arrives, which gives me enough time to read one of the chapters.
"This doesn't make sense. How come Aiden is the only one who dies in the accident? Why didn't anyone save him?"
"Wait, Aiden dies?" A schoolgirl girl by the looks of it, a high school girl, asks, " Aiden from 'Winter's Warmth', did they update the novel already?"
She adds, her sadness is evident on her face. It seems that I'm not the only one who actually likes the main antagonist, Aiden, or as everyone likes to call him, Villain.
What kind of ending is this? So what they just forget him like he doesn't exist, all for the main love interest. Talk about hating someone for no reason, just because he loved the main lead and just wanted to be noticed by him.
I need to rein in my anger, by the looks of the online fallout, no one is happy with the death of Aiden.
I stand up from my seat at the bus stop and start walking. I lose my footing and stumble, but steady myself.
I turn around too slowly to hear a blaring horn from a truck, the impact sends me flying.
Am I really going to die just like this, a virgin at that? Where are the life flashes people talk about? I don't see it. Am I finally going to see my parents and my grandma?
I can see bits of everything, it looks like the bus did come after all. Why is the schoolgirl running towards me? The bus has arrived, she should get on.
"Mom?"
AIDEN LIGHT
" Young Master, you are finally awake!"
Why is it so loud, and who is this girl? It's so bright in here.
"Doctor!? The young master is awake, you need to check up on him."
Aiden Light is the villain destined to torture the novel's main lead's love interest. Ezel, an undergraduate law student, wakes up in his body after his untimely death. Before his death, Ezel had been Aiden Light's supporter in real life and had always berated the writer for making Aiden suffer innocently, when all he wanted to do was be loved, and he was always misunderstood.
Ezel is determined to live as Aiden Light and fulfill his wishes to be loved by not clinging to the main lead anymore. He decides to pursue the second main lead.
