"Thank you, Ovia," Miss Thornhill smiled as I walked with my bag over my shoulder, out of the greenhouse.

When outside, I looked around the corner, but Xavier wasn't there. Last night was weird, but I meant I when I said I'd be that tease he didn't want.

When stepping into my room, I froze. My eyes fell onto a bush white roses on my bed. In curiosity, I placed my bag down, and slipped my headphones off. I walked to the bouquet, noticing a light white card. I picked it up, opening it.

'J x
Your eyes are like the night stars'

No signage.

Just then, someone ran into my room, and froze. I looked up, seeing a boy in my class. Tall with curly black hair. I never spoke to him before but he was in my Botanical Sciences class.

"Can I help you?" I frowned lightly.

He looked embarrassed, yet in a hurry. "You're not Jessica?" He sounded uncertain himself.

"No?" I said, then looked down at the note. "This is for her, I'm guessing?"

"This isn't her room?" he questioned in shock.

I shook my head. "No... this is my room. I don't have a roommate..."

He groaned. "Dean's gonna kill me."

"Okay," I said, turning around. I slipped the note back into the bouquet of flowers, before picking it up, turning to him. "I'm guessing you placed this here..."

He groaned, taking the bouquet. "My friend wanted me to. I thought this was her room. I must've gotten the wrong one."

"She doesn't stay in Ophelia Hall," I said, making him sigh.

"Fuck, got it." He turned around, rushing our of the room in a fast walk, and I stood in confusion. Then he appeared again, a small smile on his lips. "I'm Marcus, by the way..." Then he vanished again.

I giggled lightly. That was extremely odd in so many ways...

Dinner was odd. It took me a while to argue with a chef for vegan food. She kept claiming I was lying about being one, but eventually caved. Usually I would've just eaten salads and all, but they didn't have any tonight. It made me mad.

I sat next to Enid, not so long before Ajax and Xavier joined.

"What's that?" Ajax asked, looking at my food.

"Dry pasta," I said, making him frown.

They served pasta with bacon and cheese. So I didnt eat it and got dry pasta.

"Didn't they make you any food?" he asked.

I shook my head. "Nope. Chef claimed I lied about being vegan and just didn't want her food."

"That's fucked," Xavier frowned.

"Mhm," I hummed, before taking a bite. It wasn't that bad to be honest. 4/10.
