CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
ADELAIDE
"Oi! Adelaide?"
A light push on my shoulder.
"Wake up, Sleeping Beauty!"
My eyes flutter open. Blinking away my sleep, I find Harriet crouching before me.
"What happened?" I sit up, groaning. Sleeping on the hard floor does not agree with my body.
"Looks like your doomsday is postponed for a while." She hauls me up. It is still dark. The moon is slightly away from the middle of the sky.
Probably it's around 2-3 am.
God, I'm an expert in finding time reading the positions of the sun and the moon.
I scoff slightly in my head. I'm way too much talented for my own good.
Sonya tosses a heavy backpack to my chest, knocking my breath out.
"Gentle."
The blond haired girl smiles, shrugging her shoulders.
"Enough of chit-chatting," Harriet whispers to us, "Lets get outta here."
"Teresa?" I ask while I shrug in the straps of the bag.
"She's knocked out just like you and Fiona were, a second ago." Aspen ties her hair in a bun.
My eyes scan the emerald eyed girl among the crowd of girls. Fiona is crouching, tying her shoelaces. I notice that her fingers are moving slower than expected.
I bite my lower lip. I needed to talk to her.
I didn't cheat on Newt. I love him. It was another of my episode hitting me in the worst of time. I mislead Fiona. I hurt her feelings, pushing her away after the kiss last night.
"Lets go, you sticks!" Sonya hisses at us.
We tip-toe past a snoring Teresa, curled up in a ball on the ground.
She looks so small. Who could tell that when awake, she is the psychopathic bitch?
Walking past the sleeping girl, I have this terrible urge to choke her in her sleep.
One burden less in this world.
"Adelaide? You coming?" Sonya asks. I nod and start to follow them, but a thought strikes me.
I crouch beside the sleeping raven haired bitch and trace words on the sand.
Teresa- 0
Adelaide- 1
I brush the sand off my hands as I walk past the girl, leaving her alone, unprotected and with just a packet of dried marshmallows and a bottle of water.
