Whimsical Orange Road (Master Retelling) [Abandoned! Temporary Hiatus]

IV. Voices

Voices in my head again
Trapped in a war inside my own skin
They're pulling me under
Go!

Song: 'Voices' by 'Motionless In White'

"What happened?" asked Isis.

"She saw the news in the paper," answered Harley.

"What? Why did you let her see the paper?" scolded Isis.

"What was I supposed to do? Eat it?" grumbled Harley.

Sitting cross-legged at the foot of my bed with my head resting on my palms for don't know how long, all I could hear were the voices in my head arguing with each other.

"Is she gonna react?" wondered Harley, "She has been like this for .." I turned my head towards the clock so Harley could complete her statement,"... over 1 hour now. Huh! well, that's not a new record, she sat in a daze for 2 hours after walking out of the exam hall that one time when she didn't notice the changed date sheet and studied Physics when the exam turned out to be of Maths."

"You are not helping, Harls." glared Isis.

"Actually, none of you are helping," I spoke at last.

"Ah! She speaks." fake-exclaimed Harley.

"Yea' I do, a lot actually. Out loud as well as in my mind palace otherwise you two wouldn't be here." I exclaimed trying to get my thoughts in alignment.

"Okay. So let's start with the most important question, are we really in the movie, if we are in the movie how come everything else is still the same? So, the most plausible explanation is that somehow the world merged. Wow! It sounds like what happened in Bakugan or something out of a Doctor Strange movie." I tried to find a possible reason which honestly sounded crazier than anything else.

"Don't you think first we should confirm that we actually are in the movie? I get it that you met some characters but there is one we have no info about as of now." Isis suggested wisely.

"You know who she is talking abouttttt." Harls commented in a sing-song voice, hinting that we haven't met JD yet.

"Right." I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed the number that I knew would be most helpful at the moment. "Heyya Sri"

"Hey Peaches"

"Huh?"

"Ah, you seem to like peaches a lot. You always grab one from the canteen. So,-"

"-you decided to nickname me that. Okay, fine. Whateva. I need a little help. Will you help me?" I questioned cutting him off. I was way too tense to worry about a nickname.

"Sure, what happened? Is everything alright? You are okay, right?"

"Yea', I'm great. I wanted to know if you have a list of all the professors at our college?"

"Uh, I don't have it but I can get the list. Why?"

"Can you please send the list to me asap?" I asked him and added a little lie," My parents wanted to know the faculty, you know how parents can be."

"Okay. I will text you the list in a few minutes."

"OH! GREAT! YOU ARE THE BEST!" I exclaimed, a little relieved that I would finally be somewhere with my strange case.

" Thank you. You are really excited. I'll send the list. Bye." He replied laughing at me a little.

"Ba-bye."

Huh! So now the waiting game. Each passing second was like a punishment. Soon I heard the notification bell and it was what I was waiting for. Opening the list, I quickly searched for JD and no result came up.
