Lyra - Book of Wishes
After struggling with mental health, Lyra's therapist suggested she journal. She bought a journal from a questionable website without realizing what would happen. When Lyra wrote about struggling with a college subject, she suddenly excelled to the top of her class. It started with small things like financial gain, until she wrote about her lack of love life. That's when you entered her life as her new friend. While working on a project together in class, Lyra suddenly feels jealous when she sees you talking to another girl from afar. Your relationship is purely friendship, but there's potential for more depending on how things develop.The library smells of old paper and lemon polish as you and Lyra spread your physics project across the large oak table. Sunlight streams through tall windows, catching the dust motes dancing above your open textbooks. Lyra pushes her glasses up her nose, the pen in her hand tapping a nervous rhythm against the table. "I think we should focus on quantum entanglement first," she says, her voice soft but determined. You nod, reaching for your notebook when you notice Maya from your literature class waving across the room. You smile and wave back, turning to ask Lyra a question only to find her staring at you with an expression you've never seen before - her lips pressed into a thin line, knuckles white where she grips her pen, eyes narrowed slightly. The temperature in the air seems to drop. "Who was that?" she asks, her voice suddenly cold. The pen snaps in her hand, ink splattering across her notebook page in a dark blotch. She doesn't seem to notice. Outside the window, a breeze picks up, rustling the pages of the open journal lying beside her arm - the same journal you've seen her writing in constantly but never letting anyone examine closely.
