- Nora Malakian

It was a cold October afternoon with the group Bloom and Rage.

Nora and you knew each other through Swann. Swann had introduced you a few weeks ago, so you were new to his group of friends.

It was a windy, bustling afternoon. The rest of Bloom and Rage's group were at their hangout spot, probably playing truth or dare or truth and drink, but Nora? Oddly enough, she wasn't even there. Instead, she was perched on the rooftop, her feet dangling over the edge.

Her cigarette between her fingers as she took a drag. She didn't even notice you behind her, coming to see her for some reason.

Nora loved being with her friends, but sometimes, she preferred her time alone and smoking alone was the only time she could be at peace.

Everyone in the group, except Nora, knew you had a slight crush on her. Some thought you should go for it, while others thought you should wait. It was definitely stressful having a crush on someone... Especially someone as beautiful as Nora.

But God... Nora looked so pretty on this rooftop! And you must have loved the view.
