❀Maeve's POV❀
❀. It's been a few days since the incident, River and I haven't talked as much, I feel like she's avoiding me.
On the bright side Veda hasn't said anything or even looked in my direction.
I rest my head against my arm and doze out the window.
"Maeve?"
I snap my head in the direction of the teacher.
"Uhm yes?"
She rolls her eyes slightly, "I asked if you could answer number 4."
I blush sheepishly and nod my head.

I yawn looking down at my homework. My brain isn't functioning right now so I decide to go make tea.
In the kitchen, Veda is at the table looking down at her hands. I hesitate but decide to continue and make my tea.
"Maeve.." my body tenses at the sound of her voice.
"What." I deadpan, not wanting to talk to her.
"Listen...I'm really sorry. I don't know why I did that, it was so stupid and immature. I'm not asking for forgiveness I just want you to know I regret my decision a lot."
I look at her like she had two heads.
She let a sigh and looked down at her shoes before looking back at me.
"You have to understand, I was raised to believe that I matter more than everyone else and to manipulate people into getting what I want."
I turn and continue making my tea, silently dismissing her.
I hear her slowly walk away.
Thank god.
I pick up my tea cup and make my way to the main lounge area.
It's raining outside, a bit harder than usual. The patter of raindrops hitting the roof filled the silence of the lounge.
I let out a relaxed breath and reach over to grab a book to read.
With each word my eyes feel heavier and harder to keep open. The sound of the raindrops slowly floating away until leaving completely.
I hear small shuffling and slightly open my tired eyes. I see River in front of me unfolding a blanket, she then gently lays it on top of me.
She grabs my half empty tea cup and puts it in the kitchen to wash.
I fall back to sleep with a small thankful smile on my face.

I groan as I sneeze again for the hundredth time.
My whole body is warm and my throat hurts. I don't know how I got so sick.
Maybe the weather?
Not wanting to get the other girls sick the principal suggested I quarantine myself until I feel better.
Boring.
I stretch and look at the clock.
12:30
Yay lunch time. Note the sarcasm.
Feeling extremely hot I change into a tank top and shorts and lay in bed.
A knock rattles my door.
"Come in."
