The nudge on my shoulder broke me out of my trance. "Hey, you good?"

"Yeah, yeah. Jet lag and all."

"You haven't been to this side of the country before huh?" The unashamed yawn that escaped me said it all. He chuckled "Well, you'll rest soon enough. We just have to finish some things when we get to the university then we'll go to the dorm."

I tried not to nod off by looking at the view from the window. It being calming coupled with the warm LA breeze didn't help keep me up. I must've dozed off cause when I opened my eyes, we were already there.

We got in through the big gate. I walked at a slower pace, taking it all in like I wasn't going to be learning here for the next couple of years. As we went further into the campus, the scene of sprawling green areas and students huddling around slowly changed to fewer trees and more open spaces till we reached, what I assumed to be, the main building.

Another rude awakening, a pat on the shoulder this time, "You wanna get into the building today, or do you want to stand here admiring it till tomorrow?' I chuckled

We went in. Josh got me some coffee for the jet lag. It seemed to be also a great way to make me look occupied as he greeted seemingly every person on the campus and occasionally introduced them to me, as he just did now.

"Ok now that every one of you have been acquainted, I think it's time we start the tour." And he led us on. I tried to maneuver through the small talk with any of them with well-placed coffee sips, phone checks, and trying to like I was in awe at the sights Josh was showing us which I was to be honest. "Is this your first time on campus?" I tried the good ol' coffee sip but the cup was empty.

Shit

"Um yeah." Nicely done Y/N. "I was here last summer for a tour before my admission, an early thing that needed extra pay and all, it wasn't worth it to be honest." I nodded to fill the gap "It's a huge place. Lots of coffee houses and places to hang out at." Yeah, the coffee Josh got me earlier is bitching"

A silence that I found to be much needed, filled in the rest of the walk. The next time she said anything was when we dropped her off at her dorm. "Everyone and I are planning to hang out later, maybe tomorrow, to know each other better you know? We gotta stick together, the newbies" she chuckled and continued, hesitation in her voice this time.

"So, can you like give me your number and I'll can call you when that happens?"

"Sure yeah..." c'monc'monc'monc'mon "...but I am still tired from my flight all that walking we did today so maybe call me in a couple of days?"

"Yeah totally, the good parties don't start till Thursday anyways."

                                 /--------------------///--------------------/

"No offense but honestly, I didn't think you'd have the balls to tell her that." I shrugged "Neither did I." We walked for a bit, even went 2 floors up to my disdain, till Josh stopped in front of a room

 "This is my room, right? Cause if it isn't, then one of us is going to get down those four flights of stairs in a creative way that involves getting thrown down." "Calm down, Hufflepuff. This isn't your dorm room..."sonofa"...but ours. Brace yourself cause the boys are weird as fuck" and then, without any warning, he kicked the damn door in.

"You know Josh...if it wasn't for your father...fuckmylife...you'd been expelled by now for this shit." "Uhuh. You guys still doing the betting thing?" "Yep!" The guy still on the more buff guy replied. "C'mon Julian, you fucking pussy! 20 push-ups or I'll get the slap pass!" 

"Is that the new guy Josh?"

"Yeah sorry. Y/N, this cheeky fuck is Nate and the guy he's sitting on..." as he said that Julian dropped "...and who just lost a slap bet is Julian." Both waved at me and I waved awkwardly back. "Alright boys, I had an exhausting day and I want to sleep. I suggest you do the same. Y/N take the bunk above mine and sleep whenever." Nate was the only one to protest but ironically was the first of us to pass out.

Seems like there is no avoiding it for tonight

I got into bed and steeled myself. The first 4 hours were easy around the 7th mark is where it started getting hard to keep my eyes open. The long flight and my recent lack of sleep made me too weak and regardless of my struggles I knew all of it was futile.

I was asleep, and it was too late

The room was normal at first but soon enough I was paralyzed by its presence and gasping for air. As I struggled to breathe, my eyes pleaded for help but it was only stared back at me from the ceiling, with that bloodied smile on its face.
