- HAZEL -
I yawned. My eyes slowly drifted open and I swung my arm to the side a little.
Ow! My neck still hurts from yesterday. I really hope the ache dies down soon. I rested my palm flat on my bed and pushed my body up to sit up straight. I was faced with confusion when I noticed the sheets. These aren’t mine.
I rub an eye with my fingers and yawn again. This ti, my eyes are fully open. This is not my room either. Although it’s the sa architectural design, the decorations are different, down to the colour of the wall paint.
Maybe I attended a sleepover that I’m unaware of? I can’t really tell. Ugh, I feel like I got drunk again.
I glanced at the chair by the side of the bed. Whoever’s bed this is, the person must be lucky. I would kill to sleep at the bottom.
On top of the chair is a bottle of water and a saucer covered with another saucer. Pasted on the top of the saucer is a post note with the writing ’Eat ’.
I took the saucer on top of the other off and stared at what was on the saucer. I expected to see a sandwich or toasts but I was wrong.There are two white pills staring at . So soone thinks they can make sleep in their bed in a room in our dorm and leave pills to swallow with a bottle of water? I smack my lips together. I am thirsty though and this is an unopened bottle.
I grabbed the bottle and my brows creased when I felt sothing tickle my palm making turn the bottle around. It’s another post note.
’I know you won’t want to take this. You’re in my room Hazel. I needed to leave last night so I asked a roommate to write this for .
You had a ssy night yesterday, I’ll fill you in later but get so rest and swallow the pills, it’ll ease your mind.
Your bestie Kate x’
A warm smile ford on my lips. She does know well. Too well that it can be terd scary. I giggled. I’ve never been in Kate’s room before. I picked the pills, opened the bottle of water, threw the pills in my mouth and gulped it down with water. My eyes wandered around Kate’s room. It looks very.... orange.
It gives off an autumn vibe. Like a mid sumr to autumn. And the room is cozy. I would enjoy coming here from ti to ti.
"Anyone in here?" I ask, looking around without making an effort to move. There was no answer.
I guess no one’s here. Did the people here take the keys and lock in? Am I trapped here? Where’s my phone?
I turned back and ran my eyes around the bed, search under the pillow and the bed cover for my phone. My heart raced when I couldn’t find it and I stood up.
This ti, I pulled the bed covers forward and my phone fell on the ground.
Please let it be charged to a degree. Please let it be charged. I chorused, crossing my fingers as I knelt down to pick up my phone. I tap the screen with a finger.
A smile ford on my face instantly. Yes! It’s fully charged. Now that I’ve found my phone, I need to lay her bed and figure my way out of here. Or I’ll lay the bed then call Kate.
I have a lot of howork to do. Not to talk of the amount of studying I need to do for that presentation coming up in two weeks. Ugh! I hate substitute lecturers.
Not all of them, just that one. I corrected. She was quite stern. I roll my eyes and sat on the bed. I’m super tired and heaven knows I’d rather sleep my way out of the weekend till it’s ti for school but I don’t have that luxury.
I wish I did. I had that luxury back ho.
I shook the thought out of my head imdiately. I won’t let myself get sad because of my life back there. Because it was also my friends there that went behind my back and slept with my ex.
Every ti I think about ho, I always rember Ivy. Till I’m sure that I’m over what she did, I’d rather stay focused on school work and making new friends. I don’t want to be involved in this Ivy hate. Especially when I don’t hate Tristan.
Liar! My conscience scread.
That made laugh. I hate his guts. I hate both of them so much but it’s a bit reduced now. I’m sure I can stand in a room with both of them and not poison either one’s drinks.
I can sure as hell not burst Tristan’s tyres or poke a zillion needles on Ivy’s seat.
I also am not childish enough to ss up her outfit in a very important event if I was invited too.
Just thinking about these makes want to laugh.
I leaned over to the chair to pick the bottle and drank so water. I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. I took another breath in, closing my eyes, and exhaled slowly.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
That’s right, Hazel, you’re doing good and easing off those nasty thoughts and hate. I cheered myself.
Nasty? A voice in my head interrupted. Those thoughts aren’t nasty. Nasty is what to describe the thoughts I had about Killian.
My lips ford a line. I took another breath in and exhaled softly. I’m not even mad while thinking about him. I’m not sad either, my conscience pinched , well, maybe a little bit but unlike before, I’m okay.
I have decided to move on and I am happy with my decision. I don’t want to hurt Kate and I don’t want to be attracted to him anymore. It hasn’t done any good. Plus, with Killian out of my mind, I can focus on eting other n.
n my age or older. I’m done with tinder and casual one night stands. It has not done any good.
I open my eyes and stare at the wall for a long second. I think it’s ti for to start my day and get out of here. I got up from the floor with my fingers clenched around my phone. I guess I’ll call Kate.
I stretched my hands and legs.
Ouch. I keep forgetting my neck hurts.
I guess I’ll take a picture of the wound behind my neck first, just to see how huge it is then I’ll call Kate. I turn on my cara and stretched my hand behind my neck to a level where I was sure it would capture the sore well. I bent my head to the side, letting my hair fall over my shoulder and tap my screen gently.
A soft ’click’ slid into my ears. I held my phone to my face.
Oh wow I can almost not see anything, did I miss the spot? I pinched my fingers on the screen and zood.
Nope. It’s right here. I tilted my head to the side. For a small dot, it sure hurts really bad.
I guess I can manage if I take pain killers. Now that I’ve seen the reason behind my neck pain, it’s ti to call Kate. I ran my hand on my phone, dialing her number when I heard a click coming from the door.
My eyes trailed to the entrance and the door ca open. No one has stepped in yet so I can’t tell who is there.
I guess I don’t have to call Kate after all. I’ll just text her then start my day. I straightened her sheets and her duvet on the bed and took a last look around to ensure everything is in order. It is.
Just when I stood up, a hand smacked my ass. "Heya babe, did you take the dication I left for you?"
A half smile ford on my face. "Yup. Your roomie left the ssage alright."
"Oh thank God!" She exhaled. "I ca here rushing to see if you’ll be alright once I noticed I over slept at Killian’s."
Oh... I see.
"Well, thank you for your care. I’ll head off now, I need to do so school work and work on my presentation."
"Oh, you didn’t hear?" Kate asks and I turn to face her.
"Hear what?"
She dipped a dumpling in her mouth and chewed quickly. "It was cancelled. Sothing regarding what the substitute teacher did was wrong so it was cancelled."
I chuckled. "Good thing I didn’t listen in her class anyway."
"Hehe, yeah." Kate said and returned to doing whatever she was on her desk. She’s unloading so things from her bag.
"I guess I’ll head out then." I said.
"Yeah, I’ll catch you later." She said.
"Sure." I walked to her and tapped her shoulder gently. "Not leaving without a hug."
Kate dusted her fingers on her jeans and turned to hug . I wrapped my arms around her and rested my head on my shoulder. That’s when I saw sothing that caught my attention.
Slipping out of her back is a huge envelope. ’Marriage rules and-’ was all I could read before breaking the hug.
Wait did I read that correctly? What is that?
I wish I could ask but I don’t think it’s my business. Plus, it’ll be weird if I did indeed read sothing else.
"I want to give you so bad news before you go." Kate said.
She just had to wait till the last mont. "Spill. There’s nothing I can’t handle." Hello, my boyfriend cheated on with my friend, rember?
"So, to up our credit scores, since our lecturer is on a temporary leave, the school decided to host a sports tournant." I almost choked while hearing that. Wait what? "So take care of that shoulder." Kate smirked.
That’s a really smooth move. What is this, highschool? I really hope she’s lying!!
"Okay, nice try, bye." I walk out of her room. The sports tournant isn’t what bugs at this point. Is Kate doing sothing she doesn’t want to? I’m starting to worry about her sudden choice for marriage. Because if I did read correctly, who on earth hands his fiancée a ’Marriage rules’ envelope?
Unless she’s the one who printed it.
I could also be reading too much into this. It might also an nothing but.... we’re late teenagers, her getting married is sothing I should actually start to worry about. Especially with a sowhat rich professor.
