“U-um, excuse me.”
The brown haired guy looked up in surprise. Kaitlyn looked away reflexively. No, you have to do this. You’re already committed, no backing down now!
“Ah, uh, c-can I sit with you? There’s no other tables open, and um, I guess…” She trailed off awkwardly.
His mouth opened in a silent “oh”. “Um! Yeah, of course. Go right ahead. No one’s sitting here or anything, I mean.”
“T-thanks.” Kaitlyn settled into the seat acr...
2023-06-10 19:07:41 +0000 UTC View PostSunlight peeked through from behind Kaitlyn’s closed eyelids. She muttered darkly and rolled over, pulling a blanket over her head. It’s too early. After finals hell, I need the sleep.
Eventually though, the sunlight won out. Reluctantly, she cracked one eye open. Above her was the familiar wooden underside of a top bunk. She sighed and rummaged around under the covers to find her phone. Failing to find it, she sat up and glanced over toward her desk.
The phone was in...
2023-06-10 19:07:09 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey Kaitlyn! Omigosh, I’m so excited. I’m gonna go see Maze of Ills tomorrow! Can you believe that they’re performing here? It’s on campus too! You wanna come along? It’s gonna be soooo cool!”
“N-no thanks. I gotta study.”
“You sure? Alright, well, don’t push yourself too hard!”

2023-06-10 19:06:24 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn scrolled through her phone, idly checking whether a new chapter of her webnovel had been posted yet. As the weeks passed, the sense of urgency instilled by her midterms performance slowly ebbed. She was still trying hard to spend as much time as possible studying - in fact, she hadn’t been down to watch cross country practice once. Let that jerk think that I’m not trying. Well, I am. Still, that studying occurred at frustratingly inconsistent levels of efficiency.
D...
2023-06-10 19:05:43 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn hunched over a fold-out desk, shifting uncomfortably in the poorly-cushioned seat. Around her, hundreds of other students had adopted a similar posture, heads down in concentration. The occasional sound of a page turning was the only interruption in the soft cacophony of scribbling pencils.
She stared down at the page in front of her.

2023-06-10 19:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn slid into one of the bench seats, practically vibrating with the effort of hiding her excitement. Finally, FINALLY a guy I have an excuse to meet up with regularly! Yes! He can help me, I have his number, and I have his name! This is already way better than any other encounter I’ve had. Geez, I needed a lucky break like this. Seriously.
As she set her backpack down, Philip unzipped his own backpack and began pulling out notebooks and flashcards. The faded and worn mus...
2023-06-10 19:04:19 +0000 UTC View PostMidterms were the worst.
The exams themselves were bad enough - even in the classes Kaitlyn had been good at originally, the midterms weren’t exactly a walk in the park. But more than that was the oppressive, looming sense of dread that heralded their approach. Now that midterms were only a couple of weeks away, that feeling had intensified to the point that she needed to take it seriously.
She glared at her phone’s calendar and took a bite of her pastrami sandwich. D...
2023-06-10 19:03:07 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn found herself walking back to the dorms with a skip in her step. Finally, finally, an interaction with a guy had gone well for her.
Not just well - amazing! I know what team he’s on, when it meets, and even got his name! She hummed to herself. Alex. It’s got a kind of ring to it, doesn’t it? Way better than “athletic guy” or “black haired guy”. Even better because I’m pretty sure that there’s another dating sim guy with black hair too. Now...
2023-06-10 19:02:30 +0000 UTC View PostKaitlyn stared at the calculus problem in front of her uncomprehendingly. A pencil twirled idly between her fingers.
Find the point(s) of intersection (if any) of the sphere 2x² + 2y² + 2z² - 8x + 4y - 16z + 10 = 0 and the line x = 3 + t, y = 1 + 2t, z = 3 - t.
In her past life, she had never made it past high school math. There had been no need. Math wasn’t exactly useful in Journalism, so Journalism majors usually gritted their teeth through the GE just to be done ...
2023-06-10 19:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostWhen she opened the door to her room, half of the space had been transformed. Posters of boy bands and cute animals plastered the walls, lights strung back and forth across them in a comedic exaggeration of the ones hung over her own desk. A small, modern-looking pink chair sat near the corner of the room, standing watch over a very fluffy looking lavender rug and a vertical fan. It was a very familiar look.
Kaitlyn found Heather busy hanging up clothes in the dresser. The girl lo...
2023-06-10 19:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe dining hall itself was easy to find. It was a large, modern-looking white building curved in a kind of thick horseshoe shape. Within the bend were nestled over a dozen round metal tables sheltered by red metal umbrellas. The outdoor tables were still visible from within the building, thanks to a generous number of full-length glass windows that replaced the walls. A large sign hung above the entrance at one end of the building identified the place as the “Cappy’s Cafe”.

2023-06-10 19:00:34 +0000 UTC View PostNo, seriously, thanks! This is really neat, y'know?
Here's a chapter index for Alone Once More. You can also trawl through old posts manually, but well, I don't recommend it. Hopefully it's easy enough to navigate.
The tier you subscribed at will determine what posts you can actually see, of course. I'll send out notifications when a new post has been sent out for your tier (and just your tier, if I can swing that). Also, come on and join the discord!
That's it for now. I'll...
