PROJECT VOID. (Based on the mobile game)

1~ IN THE BEGINNING (I)

"Awnnn ... My baby's all grown and finally leaving her old mom at home, the horror,boo-hoo" my over- dramatic, over - sarcastic mother yelled. " Yeah yeah I know my mom you want me out of your hair you don't need to practically scream it at me" I lazily said as I put the rest of my stuff in the taxi that would take me to my University. University of Maryland.

We're from New York but we moved for a while so I could get to the University faster.
Ok, let me introduce myself.
My name is Angela Martins but no one seems to call me Angela. I'm always called something else or the closet thing to it, Angel.
I'm 17 and I lived with my single mom my whole life because apparently my father disappeared when so long ago, that I couldn't remember his face.
No explanation
Nothing

He just up and vanished into thin air one day after saying he was going to get milk one night.
The police looked for him for as long as possible until they had to turn in his case as a dead person's case but deep down I knew my father wasn't dead.
Whether he committed a crime or had an affair I felt like there was just something wrong with the way his case was handled but I try not to think about it.

I don't stress to dress honestly, I just put on the closest thing to me in my drawer. Now I know what you're thinking " yeah pretty cliche main character things" but think about how many people actually don't care.
They are pretty much if you ask me so I just happen to be one of em.

I'm going to the University of Maryland to study criminology and figure out the world's most complex impossibilities or cases in English ( lol) and more importantly pick up my father's case my self. I couldn't remember much but the sufferings of my mom I could remember I never want to recollect ever again.

" Don't worry Miss Martins, I'm sure your daughter will do fine" the friendly taxi man said.
" With a promise like that how could I remain worried~" my mom practically slurred.
"Ew mom I think that's enough, time to go!" I blurted as I took a seat in the passenger seat of the taxi. The taxi driver said a few words I didn't hear from the car but then he got in and started to drive after our goodbyes.

We were on the road for a while and I was admiring the beautiful view everything looks so bright and beautiful as we left where we were and we were entering the next town where my university was it looked so pretty that I wish I lived there when I grow up kinda had terrible memories of my childhood that was all going to change as I enter my university.

Something else that piqued my curiosity or interest was the topic of love or romance I had never had it before but from the movies I watched, it looked pretty painful and also pretty wonderful at the same time and I read a lot of Wattpad books on how romance really is some say it's beautiful some say it's horrible some say it's bittersweet but I'll be the judge of mine and you can be sure but I won't be a stupid and oblivious as the girls in those romance stories, like be for real...
I never had a chance to experience it in high school or middle school because I was so focused on things like solving riddles puzzles mysteries that even my friends or at least the people I called Friends didn't want to do these kind of things with me so I was alone most of the time and the boys that did have interest in me automatically forgot about me overtime because I never took anything they did or said seriously because I was always focused on solving riddles mysteries puzzles hoping that one day I achieve my dream of being a criminologist or detective so that I could find out what really happened to my father make sure that situations like that never have to happen to other children again.
So I guess you could say I was kind of excited to meet boys that actually had an interest in something that I did so maybe I'd hit it off with someone...

"We've arrived Miss Martins" the taxi man alerted me. I thanked him and gave him a tip and he waved me goodbye and took his leave. I turned around to take a look at my university I arrived on a Saturday so it wasn't as busy as it would be on weekdays but it was really beautiful and really big and it had so many sections, so many courses for so many different students and I saw that some people were already bustling around doing things so I headed up to the admins office to ask for my room, my keys and any documents that I might need. They handed everything they said that I needed and showed me my room when I got in I realised this you was just for me and wasn't shared like all those Wattpad stories that I had read. I was very pleased with this.
"Don't need some random chick bringing in guys in the middle of the night to fuck her... Too much noise" I said while sighing in relief.
I unpacked my things to my liking ( ngl it looked like a mini detective room or an over obsessed murder case kid's room. Either way, I liked it )
I realized that there was an orientation for new students later in the afternoon.
So  I had to prepare cuz it was in like ...2 hours.

TWO HOURS LATER...

It was around the time for the orientation and I was beyond excited.
I dressed casually cuz why not it was just an orientation. I put on an oversized hoodie and my black leather choker and sneakers.
I left my dorm room and locked the door, keeping the keys in my pocket. As I was walking I bumped into a blonde haired girl and she almost fell in her heels and I held onto her to support her. " Watch where you're going four eyes!" As she refered to the glasses on my face. I immediately let go of her and then she apologized and said she was just having problems and it was getting to her and I told her it was fine. She told me her name was Alyssa Milano and I replied saying," Angela Martins"

I realized we were both heading the same direction and we were both freshman so, we hot it off pretty ok. When we were going to the hall we were supposed to be in, I tripped and scraped my wrist on the wall, leaving a bit of blood on the wall.
"Ew oh my God it's bleeding" Alyssa practically cried.
" Chill out!, it's just a damn scrape" I hissed out of habit due to ignorance. I immediately apologized, she just ignored me and continued off to class as I watched her in disbelief.

I turned back to my wrist to examine the damage and then I looked at the wall... I blinked a couple more times to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. I took my glasses off and put them back on.
I wasn't hallucinating, I had no symptoms so...
"The blood stain.....Where is it?
I know that it was right there the proof is even on my hand?!" I panicked that I was already losing it. I know they said looking into criminology and the arts of the underworld can change your brain structure but I'm pretty sure you don't hallucinate. Maybe I'm overthinking this.
" But it was right there ...." I mumbled
"Talking to the wall on your first day? Man, you must be one of those girls that were wierdos in high school" a male voice laughed in the hallway.
I turned to see a brown haired boy, a very cute brown haired boy at that, with brown eyes.
But jerks are no exceptions if they're salty dumbasses that pick on people. " Oh screw you", I hissed.
" Oooh feisty~, I like that... what's your name button?" In two strides he cornered me at the wall, we were so close that I could feel his breath on my lips . I was so confused cuz my heart started pounding like crazy but I didn't like this at all. I shoved him back with so much force, that I shocked myself but he wasn't much affected but he was definitely surprised.
"Oh?.. button's got balls"  he smirked.
" It's Angela!, Angela Martins!" I hissed. "Don't you f***ing DARE call me button again" I glared while walking into the orientation room not giving two shits about his reaction.
Where cute guys always this messed up!?
I sat beside a girl with grey curls and a cute face. She looked at me and her eyes lit up.
"My God....you're cute" I said accidentally. I covered my mouth and turned red and apologized immediately.
She laughed and said" you think?? Thanks " she gave me the brightest smile I'd seen all day.
"Tiffany Adams" she said.
I smiled and said"Angela Martins, I didn't know Wednesday had a sister" I laughed.
"Haha I didn't know either" she laughed.
I could tell we'd make good friends and at that moment a woman with, excuse me if I'm underestimating here, DEfined curves, she looked 25 or younger"
She was beautiful and had some of the boys in the hall gawking but what interested me was the badge on her shirt.
Detective Stone
"Good afternoon, soon to be criminologists" she spoke in a firm tone and that was when I realized that this orientation only consisted of criminology course takers... So I could have messed up my first day? Thank God for luck.
Everyone replied a loud good morning with some of the guys in the room whistling like horny dogs.
" I was only talking to the future criminologists not the future failures, who told you you all would become criminologists? Don't make me laugh, kids these days are more naive than ever" she said in a firm tone once more.
The hall fell silent.....
